On December 18th we went to downtown Chiang Mai to a strip of bars. I will never forget this night. God had specific ways for us to work that night. The boys went and prayed while the girls split into smaller groups to go be the hands and feet of Jesus in the bars. Just walking down that strip gave me this feeling of disgust. You see these old men touching and flirting with these young beautiful girls. It took a lot not to just get angry with the men, but they are in need of Jesus just as much as the prostitutes! Honestly I do get angry at the injustice though…read this blog by my teammate Cody…http://codyklein.myadventures.org

Anyways, I was with Mae and Bia and we felt led to go to this one bar where a girl was collapsed over the bar stool inside. No one was helping her or even seemed to care. It felt very dark and I felt overwhelmed. My heart broke for her. I wanted to just hold her and let her know how much she was worth in the eyes of God. I wanted her to know that there was an almighty king that has loved her since the beginning of time. I wanted her to know that she is not alone. I wanted her to know she is not ugly, or only good for sex, or just an item to be bought at a bar.

I remember praying at points and crying out to God for her to be released of this thing inside her. She couldn’t even talk to us because of the drugs that had consumed her body. We prayed that God would just fill her up with only himself and cast out anything that was not of Him. I could see the struggle in her and by the end of the night we had to carry her to her bed.

I think of this beautiful girl very often and pray that God would reveal himself to her. I pray that she can find her worth and value in Christ, not make-up, or drugs, or men. I pray that she will be wrapped in the arms of Jesus so that she can know she is loved and she was worth it! She was worth dying for.
