Why Thailand?
Pattaya, Thailand is often referred to as “the sex capital of the world”. Prostitution and fishing are two of the leading industries in Pattaya, resulting in high rates of sex and labor trafficking. Trafficking leaves nearly 2,000 children homeless in Pattaya alone. One-third of Thai families will experience verbal or physical abuse.
58:12 Thailand, was launched to provide hope and healing to the most vulnerable in Pattaya. Our mission targets in Pattaya are various outreach programs and food ministries that serve the most vulnerable. You can help us make a difference in Thailand.
How We're Serving
Home Visit Program
Our team does weekly home visits with people in the community with the goal to share Christ’s love, pray, and be a source of comfort for the most vulnerable. Through the Home Visit Program, our team has had multiple people accept Christ into their hearts and continue to offer resources to deepen their relationship with God.
Weekly Outreaches
Our team hosts a number of outreaches each week including Kids Club for local children, a women’s outreach, and a men’s outreach. The goal of each outreach is to educate, equip, and empower members of the community by teaching about Christ and to form relationships of trust and acceptance.
"Ton of Rice" Program
At the beginning of the global shutdown in March of 2020, the outreach programs hosted by our team were put on pause. Knowing that there would be added suffering to many locals of Pattaya, our team began their “Ton of Rice” program with the goal to give away a ton of rice each year. Along with rice, they also pass out fresh vegetables that are grown in the garden at our complex. So far, our team has given away over 15 tons of rice, equalling more than 30,000 pounds.
