in hopes they never "walk in"

Maew and Fi (pictured here with Nick and I at our engagement party in February!) are our summer interns in Buriram.  They're on their school break for 2 months.  Prang and I want them to work for us as many of their friends are heading into the city during summer vacation.  At this point, their friends may be working in a restaurant or picking fruit; they're probably not at a bar.  But waitresses at many restaurants in the city are expected to at least sweet talk customers, if not be available to leave with them.  We just want to spend more time loving them here before they're put in tough situations of choosing between their dignity and money, or their dignity and hopes of meeting a good foreign husband.

Lord-willing, they'll understand their dignity in Jesus so completely that no one will have to offer them a "way out" because they never walked in.

Is it even possible that hundreds of thousands of young women in Thailand will understand their dignity in Jesus so completely that there is no longer a "way out" because there is no longer a "way in"?

I saw a documentary about the sex industry in Thailand ten years ago. I have prayed for the evangelism and discipling of the people of Thailand ever since. And I have been praying for a day when there is no longer a "way in." I pray for men to know God so that there is no demand for the trade.

God Bless you!
