As for ministry: We helped out at a Mother Teresa Home, spoke at a school in Asia’s biggest slum, visited different Red-Light-Districts, had intercession in a Muslim neighborhood or at the shrine of a Muslim saint, who in his day performed many 'miracles' (healing of the sick), so that still today many people – especially sick and crippled people pilgrimage to this place to receive healing. It is difficult to put into words the spiritual atmosphere of this place, it was so heavy and oppressing.
We preached in several churches and encouraged the local Christians and missionaries. As much as I liked each of these different ministries – the time we spent in the Red-Light-District touched me the most. Since I had worked with this kind of ministry before and am planning to work more in this milieu in the future, I was curios to see another ministry among these precious ladies. In some ways this area was a lot worse then Thailand, the entire area was basically one big slum, and there was no separation between home and work place. The work place was home and in many cases the family lived there as well.
