Wow....my heart was broken today to learn about the high high number of prostitutes in Thailand....now before you go thinking, "That's sick." or "Why would a women give her body in such a way?" Just wait......
The population in Thailand is 67 million, there are 2 million prostitutes, that means roughly 1 in 17 women are prostitutes. It is a horrible entrapment that so many women fall into for the money to provide for their families. It breaks my heart to know so many women are having to give away their body as a possession to simply provide. As you can imagine this has had a devestating affect on the health of these women. 1 in 100 Thais have HIV.
Please be in prayer for these women. Pray for jobs for them. Pray for counseling and healing in their spirits. Pray for God to touch their lives and rescue them from this painful cycle. Pray for what you can do. Pray for missionaries that are in Thailand now.
One organization that is their in Thailand currently is YWAM. They have an awesome outreach called the Tamar Center. They are befriending, counseling, and providing jobs for these women. You can actually check out www.tamarcards.net and support these women! Also, www.ywam.com.
Please be in prayer for our organization Global Frontier Missions as they are doing a scouting trip to Thailand this next summer. God is in the works of leading our group to begin a new base and outreach in Thailand. Be in prayer for direction for the leaders. And perhaps if God is laying Thailand on hearts of many all around the world. Maybe yours?
