About REFRESH

We started REFRESH in 2009 to bless people in Chiang Mai with regular worship nights. The majority of the 90 minute event is spent in worshiping in song together. Knowing that our God is a creative God, and that our creativity is a reflection and celebration of His creativity, we include the arts as an expression of worship. REFRESH is for the whole community in Chiang Mai, and all are welcome to come and be refreshed through the worship of our God - people from different communities, backgrounds and life experiences, and all generations - united in worship.

Mark and Dana Ritchie and Ken and Roslyn Manson have led REFRESH together from the start. For this 4th year of REFRESH we continue to lead REFRESH together, with Mark and Dana leading in Thailand and Ken and Roslyn advising and helping plan while in Australia. While it is a big undertaking to continue with half the leadership outside the country, after much prayer and thought we felt it was the right thing to go forward for the 4th year of REFRESH. We look to God for His wisdom and provision.

Blessings,
Mark & Dana Ritchie and Ken & Roslyn Manson

Yes, Lord, walking in the way of Your truth, we wait eagerly for You.
For Your Name and Your renown are the desire of our hearts.
