Soi Cowboy in Bangkok, Thailand is a block long stretch of neon
with bar after bar packed side by side on both sides of a very narrow street.
The ‘traffic’ going up and down Soi Cowboy are men, sometimes walking alone, or pairs, and sometimes in packs of eight or ten. 

On the “front porches” of the bars are tables, bar stools  an occasional dancers pole, and girls.  Many girls that are barely clothed. 
Through the front door of each bar (which is really just a curtain) is loud disco tech music, lights, a dance floor and more girls with less clothing.

It’s on the front porches on the outside of the bar where our mission team
has spent time getting to know a handful of the women whose job it is to get men to buy over priced drinks. 
Members of our team, working in groups of two or three will buy a girl a drink, which really just buys us the privilege to visit with her for ten or fifteen minutes, but that is long enough to let her know that someone in the world really cares about her.

When it goes well, a girl will agree to meet with us the next day over lunch or other social way and the conversations go deeper.  The ultimate victory for us as an outreach team is to introduce them to the women of The Well, servantworks.com a ministry to bar girls in Bangkok.  So far this week there has been one victory!  Our team is working on number two right now.  What are the lives of one or two Thai bar girls worth? 
The blood of Jesus!
