That area around sukothai is very heavy fruit farming area, lots of bananas, also is one of the main areas of early Thai history and an ancient capitol of the early Thai kingdoms.
What her family does, I have no idea.
But I know if it was our kid I would let her decide if she wanted to go to church and be involved with a Christian youth group.
I would not make her feel that she should have to go to be accepted, as especially in the USA religion is a matter of free choice and she should not be put in a situation where she would feel forced.
Buddhism is one where it will not interfere as they have no god as such and is a matter of ways of living a good life.
But I do know if she ever said that going made her uncomfortable and was really going because she felt she had to go I would be on the next plane to Tennessee and would bring her home in an instant.

I did check out ACES and seems fine, no rules that say it is a christian org. and not like the missionarys tend to do here.
