The Second Chance Ministry Program is a three stage strategy program aimed at women working in the sex industry.In Thai culture, a commonly accepted belief is if a girl loses her virginity, then she may as well make money for her family working as a prostitute. Domestic prostitution has for centuries been a part of the Thai tradition. Thousands of women throughout Thailand work as prostitutes in escort agencies, brothels, karaoke bars, restaurants, massage parlors, bars, saunas and spas.
As Christians, what can we offer these women to give them a future and a hope – to give them a second chance at life?
We believe that this Program is a unique, God ordained strategy to bring healing and deliverance to all areas of life (emotional, physical, practical, financial and spiritual) and to bring women to freedom and fullness in Christ. This is only made possible by the supernatural power and work of the Holy Spirit.
We believe that many of these women will go on to become ministry leaders and impact others for the Gospel of Christ.
This is in keeping with The Christian Outreach Centre’s expressed aim of ‘Reaching our world for Christ’. It is a Church program under the national strategy and covering of The Christian Outreach Centre Foundation.
Chiang Mai is the launch point for the pilot program. One of the main goals is to develop an effective program than can be replicated in other parts of the nation. Other locations under consideration are Pattaya and Phuket.This new ministry will be starting soon.
