In April 2006, Joe and Linda Garman traveled to Cambodia to dedicate ARM’s new home for girls. RAPHA HOUSE shelters 33 girls but has capacity for 50 children. Stephanie Freed is the U.S.A. director.

RAPHA is the Hebrew for word "healing" and serves as a safe house for girls who have been rescued from forced prostitution and slavery. All but the two youngest, ages six and eight, have become Christians. ARM thanks all who made this a reality.

The Kingdom of Cambodia officially recognizes RAPHA HOUSE as a Non-Government Organization sanctioned to rescue "girls at risk". While at ARM’s home the girls receive an education that will enable them to rebuild their lives.

Moving forward in faith, ARM plans to build a similar facility in Chiang Mai, Thailand, where they have been ministering since 2003. This new home, DAUGHTERS OF RUTH, will shelter pre-teenage and teenage girls upon their release from jail or prison.

One great frustration is that the majority of these girls have no parole or probation program. When they complete their incarceration the guard opens the front gate and they step out onto the street.

Many of the girls are gang-affiliated … most are drug-addicted … some are homeless … but all are without God, without Christ and without a hope in this world. ARM will provide them with counseling, education, protection and shelter … in short, the chance of a better and brighter future.
