Hey Supporters! During the month of August, I am working with SHE ministries in the Red-light district in Phuket, Thailand. (http://www.shethailand.org/). We have an incredible opportunity to reach hundreds of prostitutes through bar ministry as we develop relationships with these women, inviting them to lunches and offering them job alternatives with SHE ministries. During the hours of 9pm-11:30pm, our teams go from bar to bar and sit and play games with the women as we talk about their lives, their families, and their jobs. Even if a woman rejects our invitation to SHE ministries, we’ve still kept her from being sold for the night to one of the many men that prowl on the streets. Every conversation, every encounter, every woman is worth it.

I know that this month is going to be life changing and many seeds will be planted. But I need your support in order to have the resources I need to plant seeds and make lasting God-impressions.

In order to socialize with the women in the bars each night, we must make some sort of non-alcoholic drink purchase (coke, sprite, bottled water) or we will be asked to leave the bars. There are hundreds of bars in the red light district with over 1200 women, and we will be attending approximately 3-4 bars each night. Each drink costs approximately $2, which seems cheap, but when you add it up, that is $8 per night. We will be visiting the bars at least three times a week for four weeks, resulting in at least $100 in drinks alone. In addition, there is potential for lunch dates with the women we develop relationships with at the bars. This will allow us the chance to talk more about how to get out of the sex industry and into a life with Jesus Christ. Of course, if you invite a woman to lunch, its expected that you will pay for her if she meets you.

I am praying that many of you will feel called to help support me personally this month so that I can have the resources needed to make a significant impact here. I am trying to raise approximately $100 to use for ministry in the bars and for lunches with the women. I will need to be spending this money through my personal account not through the AIM account.

I am SO excited for the relational aspect of this ministry. Each drink is more than just a drink, its an opportunity to develop a relationship, plant seeds and potentially change the course of a woman’s life forever. What could be more incredible than that? Even though you aren’t here with me, this is an opportunity for you to partner with me this month and experience the fruit of our time here in Phuket.

So… Drinks on You? 🙂
