Sex trafficking, prostitution, modern day slavery-call in what you want but call it what it is: real. Coming into Thailand, I knew I had to prepare my heart for the sights, the sounds, the things that would make my skin crawl and heart cry. With estimates between 800,000 and 2 million prostitutes in this country, I knew this would be a tough month. Earlier today I sat on the rooftop, guitar in hand, and simply spoke life into this county-life into a nation I knew needed it. Something inside me just told me to do it and so I prayed, “Thailand, the Lord has not forgotten you. Prepare your hearts. He is coming. Kingdom come to Thailand.”
I think the same feeling I had, the same feeling that told me to pick up that guitar and sing whatever the heck was on my heart regardless of if it was in tune or made sense, is the same feeling that led Aaron Boyd of Blue Tree to sing what was on his heart while in a bar in Thailand. You see, “God of this City,” that ever popular diddy we can’t seem to get out of our heads at 1:30 am, was written in this very country.
