We had the most amazing night tonight. We went out to the streets to meet some friends we had met the other night who live on the streets of Patong. Now a little info on Patong it is a notorious red light district where well.........lets just say that place is notorious. We went to take some food to people we had met on the street the other night. There were probably five of them living together on the street with two children A few of there names were Gun, Oo, Golf, and Dang, I don't know exactly how to say or spell there names as my Thai pretty much non existent. We had just only met them the other night and didn't know much about them, so we took some food and while it was a little awkward at first with nobody speaking we began asking them questions having Jordan and Lexi interpret. Asking things with an interpreter can be challenging as well because you have to keep all the concepts simple sentences short. We asked them how long they had been on the street where they were from you know stuff like that. We learned that they all wanted jobs but during the off season it was harder to find them. Then it dropped in my spirit to ask "if you could have one wish what would it be. " They all answered "a home" The father of one of the children then added, " It is fine if I live on the street I just want a place for my child." We then told them that we serve a God who listens and answers prayer and asked if they would let us pray for them, which we did. They are so sweet. Pray for them with us. Pray for provision and homes for them. Most importantly that they come to no Jesus. Tonight was such a huge blessing!
