"The Church in Udon Thani has been evangelizing mostly among marginalized people. When I started as bishop, there was only a center for people with leprosy in Khon Kaen. Now there are 30-40 centers for people with various disabilities, leprosy and AIDS, mostly run by nuns. These marginalized people never thought people would care for them and treat them as human beings."
