1. Tamar Center - Pattaya
The
Tamar Center is located approximately 3 hours south of Bangkok. The
ladies on your team will be able to accompany the staff as they visit
the bars (when going to the bars you will need to buy water / coke to
be able to sit down and talk with the girls – estimated cost is
100-150 baht per night, per person)
several times a week (Monday, Wednesday, Friday). This is a time
of establishing relationship with the girls and inviting them to attend
English classes, etc. at the Tamar Center. The ladies on your team will
also be involved some afternoons (Monday, Wednesday, Friday)
teaching English classes to the girls who are still in the bars. On
Tuesdays you can participate in a party for the girls studying English.
On Tuesdays and Thursdays you can be involved with other ministries in
the city such as the Pattaya Slum Ministry and/or Southern
Cross. While the women are doing ministry to the girls from the
bars, etc. the men can be involved in prison ministry and/or The
Crossing, a ministry to teens and young men! Your team will also be
encouraged to do prayer walks and intercession throughout the city,
especially along Walking Street, where many bars are located. As well,
sometimes your team will also be able to join in an evangelism outreach
to the village of some of the girls that are at Tamar Center. SO, all
that to say....LOTS of good things happening and we have been seeing
tons of decisions for Christ recently down in Pattaya...God is shaking
things up!! Check out the website for more info -

Vision - Our vision is to work with local churches to
show the love and compassion of Jesus Christ by bringing help and
healing to the estimated 20,000+ girls and women in Pattaya that are
involved in prostitution. |
