I'm about to depart in less than 10 hours to the wonderful land of Thailand, where I will be a vessel for the gospel and power of Jesus Christ in this nation. So far our schedule starts with us in bangkok. The girls will be helping teach prostitutes how to do practical things to make a living so that they can go through a process of getting out of prostitution. The guys are going to be going around to the sex tourists, mainly men and handing out packages. If we target the demand of this massive sex industry then we can cut off the need for a supply. The packages we will be handing out are 1 testimony from a previous "bar girl" (prostitute), who is now saved, explaining what this life has done to her and what she went through. Then a testimony of a previous customer from a western nation (as most of them are, they are called "sex-tourists"), this customer got saved and shares what he feels now in hind sight. There is also information on STD, stats on prostitution in Thailand and a gospel message tract. So we will be evangelising and loving on these "sex-tourists" some of which have moved to the country in retirement and married multiple bar girls. We are seeking to get them saved, redeemed and plugged into a church locally to cut off the demand for this "service"!
We will then be moving north to work with a church near Chieng Mai, this will involve running a conference and teaching on topics such as relationships, hearing Gods voice, evangelism, Character and Nature of God, faith, etc...leading worship, kids sports programs, orphanage work, etc...from there we will be working in some unreached people groups around Christmas, using the Christmas story as a spring board for evangelism to people who have never heard the gospel message! SO EXCITING, I love this stuff. God has warned me that it may be a physically difficult outreach for me, sickness, tiredness, etc... But that His grace is also going to be revealed to me in a new way, deeper and greater than ever before, so I am pumped for this. We will finally be stopping in Kuala Lumpur (Malaysia) for our layover on the way home to debrief the team on how the mission went and how to continue a missional life at home in that field as we are all called to do! Thank you all for your continued prayers and support! I am hoping to get home to visit you all if finances permit in February! But if not, your continued prayers on this trip would be powerful and NECESSARY! Thank you so much!
