Walking Street

Walking Street in
small comparison is like Bourbon Street in Louisiana, except x10 worse. It is over a mile of bars, clubs, and peep
shows with girls as young as 12 yr old dressed up in a bra, thong, and high
heals and gobs of makeup all over their face. They sit outside of the bars, clubs, and such to draw men inside. The girls rub white powder on their face and
body to look lighter. They believe that
the lighter the skin the more beautiful they are. There are tons of different whiting creams
and powders in the stores to lighten the pigment of the skin. The girls work as prostitutes and are sold by
the hour, night, or day. There are
thousands of girls on the street at night working this type of job, so when a
man comes by to offer a price to a girl, she usually takes the deal quickly so
some other girls doesn’t rob the chance. The price for a girl for one hour is about 3,000 baht which is like 93
dollars. Men from all over the world
come here to pay for sexual relations with these young girls. The majority of men come from Russia,
Germany, USA, and Middle Eastern, and the main age group is 40’s-60’s. A typical type of these men are white, over
weight, and lonely. A growing rate type
are also business men who are here for just a short one night stand and then go
back to their families at home. It is a
common event for a girl to get pregnant and the man never know because he spent
one night with the girl and then moved on with his life, never to see that girl
again.   It’s not uncommon to see an Arab
man with five girls paid for or a group of guys with just one girl to share or
an old man with a little girl. There is
a huge handful of Ladyboys mixed in the crowd of girls also. Ladyboys are young Thai men who have offered
themselves as transvestite prostitutes. Some have remained half n’ half and others have received a full
transformation. 

When I first saw all
of this going on, I was angry, judgmental, and sick inside. I have been going through a lot of prayer
with the Lord about what’s going on here and how to deal with it inside of me.   My anger and judgment has turned to a
sadness and interceding for these men and girls. Now, instead of looking at them and seeing
what they are doing, I look at them and see what God’s wants them to be
doing. I have realized a whole other
level of God’s true Grace. I have
learned a new love and heart for these people. And now I see the men and girls as God’s creation, whom God has created
for His worship, love, and purpose. We
just need to let them know about this message of love. These hurting people need someone who is
willing to go to them where they are and teach them of this message. And that ‘someone’ can not stop at just
telling one of them this message of love. That ‘someone’ must be a missionary, to go and spend their whole life
telling of this message to everyone whom they meet. Who will go and be that ‘someone’? I will be that ‘someone’… Do you want to
also?
