This past month in Malaysia was a hard month for me. We were working with a couple who has a heart and a passion for God and the things He is doing in the city of Kuala Lumpur. The big issue was that my ankle is still swollen and sometimes feels pain so I was given advice by a doctor to give it the old RICE treatment. This meant that I was not able to do much of anything for the month. Which is not something I do well with.
During my last week in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia we went to a bar. Now in my life before God I have been to many bars, and gotten drunk many times and done many things that I am not proud of. I have seen the dark side of the night life that the bar has to offer. This was different though, when we walked into this bar we were there not to drink, but to do ministry. You could see the difference in this bar right away. It was packed with asian women dressed and acting in a manner to draw attention to themselves. These women were not trying to find a boyfriend and these women were not there of their own free will. We were told by our ministry contact that every one of them was owned.
There is such a feeling of helplessness in the face of such evil, but even so we went in with our hearts filled with the love of God and hoped to make a difference in that one night even if it was just a small glimpse of what it is like when a man is not just interested in what he can get from you. Maybe these girls would see the love of the Father through our desire for a genuine conversation. I was excited for this opportunity not just because I had been sitting on the sidelines for most of the month, but mostly because it would be a glimpse into what my next month in Thailand would bring.
All we can do is pray that God will send His Spirit into that place and send conviction to the hearts of the owners of the women and the men who are taking advantage of the whole situation. If you would like to help me continue to fight against this injustice and be God to these women on Thailand you can be a part. You can pray for me and you can support me financially. There is a link on the left side of this page that will allow you to do that. I have a deadline to have at least $10,000 in my account in the next couple of weeks and I am almost there. I thank my financial partners for where they have gotten me so far and I thank God that He will provide through you for His work to be done to the ends of the earth. Thank you again and God bless you all.
