Rahab Ministries Thailand

Rahab Ministries’ Objectives

To share the love of JESUS CHRIST through Friendship Evangelism and Social Concern.
To provide Practical Help and Emotional Support to women working in prostitution.
To provide opportunities for Education, Vocational Training and Alternative Employment.

Rahab Ministries’ objectives are met through: bar visitation and friendship evangelism, counseling and teaching, and serving women in our beauty salon. We are also developing an Internet Cafe (Hairnet) and an English Language program. Our beauty salon is located in the heart of Patpong and serves from 20 to 40 women each night as they get ready for work. This provides a great opportunity for our staff members to reach the women and offer them an alternative to working in the bars.

Each week Rahab workers also visit women in the bars offering friendship and personal affirmation; seeking to build caring relationships with the women. Outreaches are conducted regularly in Patpong and Na Na.

As relationships are built and women want to leave the bars, Rahab staff offer them the opportunity to be sponsored to further their education, and can offer immediate housing, a job working on our income generation project (i.e. Rahab Bazaar), a caring environment in which they will learn about the love of Christ, and sometimes help with daycare for their children or even sponsorship for their children's education. Each woman's individual needs are carefully considered as Rahab seeks to facilitate the first step in helping them gain back their dignity and independence and begin a new life.
