Every night on our way to the bars, I listen to the same 2 songs on my ipod. I am posting some of the lyrics to one of the songs on this blog. As we walk down the dark streets every night, we pray for the men and women who frequent the bars. We pray for their freedom. We pray for redemption. We pray for light. There are over 250 bars and over 1,500 women working in the bars. There are open bars and closed bars. On Bangla Road, there are 7 streets (Soi Tiger, Soi Lion, Soi Crocodile, Soi Eric, Soi Gonzo, Soi SeaDragon and Soi Easy) in which there are many bars back to back with men and women everywhere. We go up and down each of these streets every night. There is evil all around, but in the midst of the darkness is a great LIGHT. His name is JESUS CHRIST. Praise God that He called us 7 women (Jenni, Tonya, Kim, Rebecca, Renee, Erica and myself) to leave our homes, leave our families, leave everything behind and come to Thailand..to Patong..during this very month..the month of May…to build relationships and to minister to the men and women who work these streets. May we continue to be His hands and feet and may His mighty works be done!

You
are the only truth and the way
No

No

Every night we play games with the girls at the bars. We play Connect Four, Jackpot, Jenga or the Nail Game. We love the nail game. Each person has a nail and the first one to pound their nail in wins! Mind you, they are not regular hammers that we use..they have a pointed end. Some of the girls get their nail in with one hit!! Crazy!
One of my women friends at this bar that I go to every night set down a
bag of frogs in front of me and asked if I wanted to try them. I
decided, sure why not! I will be honest though..I only tried one little
bit of the foot..no way was I going to eat the body and head!!
