-Language: Thai

Ministry:
-An estimated 2 million people have been have been forced into a life of prostitution
making Thailand a major source country for human trafficking. Sex tourism has
unfortunately become very popular here. Work in the cities will include befriending
prostitutes and encouraging to escape this life of oppression while sharing the love of
Christ with them.
-If my team is sent to the countryside, we will work among youth and orphans and
partner with churches in these poorer areas.
Pray:
-Pray that lawmakers in Thailand work harder to battle human trafficking and
prostitution.
-Pray that my squad sees many freed from a life of bondage and that they turn to the
hope that can only come from our Savior.
-Pray that those who I will serve with, as well as myself, will be prepared for whatever
Satan may throw at us and that we will be ready to respond to those who desperately
need to hear the Gospel.
