DAUGHTERS OF RUTH is a safe-house for pre-teenage
and teenage girls. ALL
are without God, without Christ and without a hope in this world when they
come to us. We provide a Christian environment complete with counseling,
education, protection and shelter. DAUGHTERS OF RUTH is located in Chiang
Mai.
Like Ruth, they are living under a curse, but not one that God has placed on them. They come from dysfunctional homes, extreme poverty and spiritual darkness. They want to go straight; in fact, it is all some of them can talk about…but they have no one to help them, no where to go. They feel they have no control or power over their lives. They want to step out of the curse and into the blessing but they don’t know how. They lack resources, self-esteem and the skills to end this vicious cycle. But at the DAUGHTERS OF RUTH home, bricks of character, integrity and maturity are laid one by one. DAUGHTERS OF RUTH currently live in a rented three-story townhouse. On the first floor is a Church/worship center. Boonlerd Chomphukeere and his family live on the second floor. Though their rooms are crowded, the girls are grateful to be here. In this secure environment they are afforded every opportunity to become emotionally, mentally, physically and spiritually adjusted so they can return to society. After leaving our home, volunteers follow up on them through letters, personal visits and telephone calls. The progress our girls have made speaks volumes about what could be accomplished if we had more room. The director of juvenile prisons for northern Thailand is willing to release more girls and transfer them to us providing we have capacity to care for them. We need to move out of our current facility and build a dormitory style house that will accommodate 48 to 50 girls. Such a home can be built for $135,000. This is not beyond our ability. All we need are 135 Christians or 135 Churches willing to donate $1,000. Then this dream will become a reality. We need you to partner with us in this missionary effort. DAUGHTERS OF RUTH range in age from 8 to 18 and are "high profile" cases in God’s eyes. They suffer from abuse, distrust, embarrassment, fear and shame. They do not have family or friends to support them and no clue how to start over. They come to us from a life of corruption and exploitation…yet it is amazing to see the transformation Christ makes in their hearts and minds when they become Christians. I hope you will choose to join with us. We are the only mission of our kind in Thailand.
