Next Spring, spend two months in Thailand and one month in Cambodia!
Behind Thailand’s beautiful beaches, booming tourism, and the country’s ever-smiling faces lies a terrible secret: modern day slavery. Thailand’s red-light districts attract an ugly side of tourism. Thousand of people, even children, are exploited as prostitutes.
Our teams serve with many ministries in Thailand. You might spend time prayer walking through the streets of the Red-Light District, ministering to women who’ve left the life of exploitation. You might also visit a brick-making or leper village, work with refugees, teach English or creative arts or VBS. No matter what part of Thailand you enter, your team will live and share the Gospel with your every breath.
There’s an urgency, a need for the people of Thailand to know God’s love for them, to find their worth and identity in Jesus Christ.
Nestled between Thailand and Vietnam, Cambodia boasts one of the Seven Wonders of the World, the temple Angkor Wat. However, the delicious food, beautiful scenery, and kind nature of the people mark the true wonders of this small country.
Cambodia is struggling to heal the scars from one of the worst genocides in modern history. In just a three-year period, one of every five people died, decimating the population and trapping the people in terror. With a predominantly Buddhist culture, Cambodians struggle with the concept of hope for the future. They have never heard of grace. They have never felt forgiveness.
The hopelessness of the people left behind is unimaginable to much of the Western world. You can show them a new way to live. You can share with them a new hope through the grace and forgiveness of Jesus.
You can teach them that their lives are precious and that redemption is a free gift that is available to them.
Teams may serve in the capital city of Phnom Pehn, working alongside established Non Government Organizations (NGOs) in the area, doing preventative trafficking ministry. Whatever your team does, each day will bring new opportunities for conversations and relationships will form.
Will you go bring light into the darkness in Thailand and Cambodia?
