“The Wedding Feast is being prepared and everyone is invited! Go out onto the streets and find them. Go out and get them and bring them back. I have saved a seat for each one. But how can they come if they do not know about the Great Feast. How can they come if they do not know that they are invited. GO OUT AND GET THEM!”
Reach. Teach. Send. This is the philosophy of The Well – a ministry that rescues girls out of a lifestyle of prostitution and provides a restorative environment and alternative income. With the overarching goal of healing and equipping each individual in order to return to their own village as prospective ‘church planters’.
Brilliant! Go and reach them in the bars. Bring and teach them at The Well. Release and send them back to their villages. The Love of Jesus and the Light of Hope WILL wake up the country of Thailand one person at a time…
…through the words of a ‘prostitute’.
An unlikely character. A poverty driven, young girl dressed in black fish-net leggings and…skin. Fashioned after The One. The babe wrapped in cloth and…skin.
The scene an unlikely one. A Go-Go club. A Thai ‘massage parlor’. A bar. A manger. A stable.
His whole life Jesus appears to go against the flow. He has always been a head turner.
Jesus liked to hang out at the well. That’s where all the action took place.
I love this quote that Jim, the founder of The Well, relayed to us right before we hit the streets last night:
“Some live under the church bell and others feel more comfortable within one yard of the gate of hell.”
Jesus approached the gates of hell every opportunity he had. In fact, he stole back the ‘keys of the kingdom’ from the devil and won the war once and for all. So would Jesus go to the Go-Go bar? Would he lay his life down for just the one? Would he sit and have a drink with just the one? I believe he would.
Actually, He already has.
Am I ‘willing’ to go up to the gates of hell and steal these girls from the clutches of the evil one? Their keys are waiting to be claimed! Jesus won the battle for them. They have hope…they just need to be waken up from their slumber. They need to be invited.
GO OUT AND GET THEM!
