Beautiful day and night are the precious thai girls who are so ready to hear about Jesus and so receptive. The harvest is ready!!! Yesterday I spent some time praying and asking the Lord for direction. It was an amazing seeing the beauty and watching and hearing from some of the June team about what the Lord is doing. Here are a few pictures more on the way.
June team is working with the well and doing outreach to the bar girls at night.
This is more information from Julie, June World Racer. “Our time in Thailand will be spent working in Bangkok with a ministry called The Well. The Well was started by Jim and Judy Larson, an amazing couple from the Chicago area. The Well’s mission is to love Thai bar girls and sex workers in the same way that Jesus loved the woman at the well (John 4) and others like her. The hope is that the woman will see and experience their true value as God’s daughter. We want to introduce her, her family and her village to the love of Christ. The Well provides discipleship, counseling, training, education, job development and other services to women and their family members. Jesus showed the woman at the well her true value. He spoke to her with respect, and offered freedom from the inner emptiness that drove and was fed by her behavior. She was so excited to meet someone who brought her past to light in an affirming, non-condemning way that she went and told her whole village about him. That is the vision of the Well.” Read more amazing stories, on the June team Awaken and The daughters of Zion blogs.
“Jenny Brown and I went to one of the bars in the area. (Bars are places for men to meet bar-girls/prostitutes). And we met Kai. She sat at a table by herself. Nervously fixing her hair and make-up, while we sat with a few other bar girls at the next table chatting. She made her way over and offered a little information about herself. It was her 3rd day at the bar, she had a daughter, she lived in the country, came to the bar to make money. She gradually became more comfortable, but could barely look us in the eyes. Jenny and I sat and talked with the girls for a while and then said our goodbyes. That night we came home and prayed for the girls. But specifically for Kai, we prayed that God would take her out of there. Just a simple prayer.
The next few nights we circuluated to different bars, making friends with girls from different bars in the area. And just last night, I went back to the same area. I was sitting at the bar nextdoor to where Kai worked, scanning her bar to look for familiar faces. But couldn’t make out faces very clearly. So I walked over and said hello to all the girls we had met earlier and realized that Kai wasn’t there. “Where is Kai?”, I asked. “She went home.” Home? “Her home in Bangkok?” I asked. ” No, home home”, they replied. ” Jane, June WR
Prayer is so powerful. When we walk in what the Lord asks of us and move when He says move and sit when He says sit. All for His glory !! listen to His voice!!
Keep praying for Thailand !!! Love you all!
