The team from Rahab, which has its office in the heart of the red light district of Bangkok, goes out once every week to meet and build relationships with the women who work in the bars.
Out of these relationships, and when funds permit, they invite the women to a 'party' with food, games, friendship and an opportunity to hear about Jesus. The charity did not have sufficient funds for a party in recent weeks but David was able to bring funds donated by NCBC with him to cover the cost of the next event. The women who attended enjoyed food, fellowship, heard about Jesus and had a night off from their usual work in the bars.
The women are invited to regular Bible studies and also have the opportunity to learn English and build relationships outside the environment of the bars. Rahab Ministries is keen to support women into alternative employment and to build up their self esteem and emotional healing. This may include training them in jewelery making, sewing or running a launderette.
This is a tremendous work which I believe is at the heart of the Kingdom - to help those who are on the edge of society to discover Jesus' love for them and be transformed. This is just the tip of the iceberg. It is estimated that as many as , women and children are involved in the sex trade in Thailand. Further information and details about supporting this work can be obtained from contacting David Adams at david.
