A miracle before our eyes...


Posted in General Articles by Rachel Hunt on 11/17/2008


Something amazing happened tonight. 
 
My team and I are currently on an Island in Koh Samet Thailand for our final debrief (we fly home this FRIDAY!)  The year has been amazing, but i will save all those details for my next blog.  The purpose of this blog is so show how huge/powerful my God is.
 
 
Sarah, Rubie, Becky, Me
 
Tonight, after a wonderful evening of worship together as a squad my friends Sarah, Rubie, Becky and myself headed over to 7/11 to get some late night snacks.  I was the first one to head out of the store along with my teammate Becky when we noticed across the street a man and a women falling to the ground.  It was obvious that they had been drinking and were a bit tipsy, but their clumsyness had cause a bit of a rucus.  The girl had apprently hit her shin really really hard which caused a decent size lump to appear.  She was mostly surrounded my drunk men and something told me to go check and see if she was alright.  So Becky, Sarah, Rubie and I headed over to see if she was ok.  I bent down to see if she was alright, and she had tears in her eyes.  So, my first thought was to put my slurpie on her skin to releave some of the pain.  She didnt speak much english, but i saw relief in her eyes when i placed it on her shin.  Becky and Sarah immediately suggested that we pray and ask God to heal her leg... so right there in front of the drunk french men we asked the Lord to heal her. 
 
When we had finished praying, i took off the slurpie and the lump was gone.  IT WAS AWESOME!  I nelt down to ask Eat (that was the girls name) if she was better and she said yes and then she looked at each one of us girls and told us each that we were a good friend.
 
Please pray that we run into her tomorrow, so that we can share more Jesus with her.
 
We serve a POWERFUL GOD!

The Harvest is Ripe


Posted in General Articles by Rachel Hunt on 10/18/2008


Please, continue to keep Thailand in prayer, and ask God how He would have you bring Kingdom.
The harvest is ripe.
But the workers really are few.
 
Much love to all of you....

Team Hong Kong has left Hong Kong and is now currently working their way to Cambodia.


Hey Friends and supporters.  Just wanted to let everyone know that I will be fasting from the internet til the 10th of November, starting the 19th of October.  Please keep me in your prayers as the Lord continues to show me areas in my life that need sharpened, and as I continue to walk in obedience to the Lord. 
 
An update on my support is that I am currently only in need of about $1700.00.  I reached the $13,800 mark, but now am trying to raise the last $1700.00 to get back money that i have had to personally pay for plain tickets, vaccinations, and travel insurance.  
 
Also i will be returning to the states on November 21st.  On that day i will have completed the World Race 08.
 
I love you all and appreciate all your prayers!!!!
 
Your sister in Christ
Rach

I LOVE TEAM HONG KONG!!


Posted in General Articles by Rachel Hunt on 10/9/2008


I was spurred to write this blog after an amazing night with my teammates in Hong Kong.  We were celebrating Robby Riggs 25th birthday and our last event of the night was to go take pictures at a place called Sticky Photos.  We crammed 9 of us into a small both and and took some amazing pictures.  I would love to post those pictures but instead I will just put up random pictures of me and each one of my amazing teammates. 
 
 
By the way Hong Kong is amazing!  The people are so nice, the city is so beautiful, the weather is perfect, the ministry is fun, and the team I am with is perfecto!  I truly love my brothers and sisters on my Hong Kong team.  I would like to dedicate this blog to them!!!
 

I love Patrice:  What do I love about her?  I love her spontaneous crazyness, her amazing laughter, and her genuine concern.
 
 

I love Gretchen: What do I love about her?  I love her random "maybe I should take a shower" statement, her sweet spirit, and her kind heart.
 
 

I love Robby: What do I love about him?  I love his gift of bringing Joy, his friendship, and his way of bringing out the real me.
 
 

I love Eli:  What do I love about him?  I love the amazing handshake we made up, his constant consideration, and his ability to make me not feel stupid when I dance.
 
 

I love Jen:  What do I love about her?  I love her sweet dance moves, her one of a kind laughter, and her randomness.
 
 

I love Andi:  What do I love about her?  I love her ability to feel others pain, her random hugs, and her sweet spirit.
 
 

I love Angie: What do I love about her?  I love her spunkyness, her sweet kind smile, and her love for people.
 
 

I love Nate: What do I love about him?  I love his love for bringing the Kingdom, and his encouragement, and his love for talking about "poop".
 
 
I LOVE YOU TEAM HONG KONG!!!!!!!!!!!!

We're back in Bangkok after spending time out in the country in Buriram... back in the bars. So here's an overview of what our time there was like.
 
(If you haven't been in the loop about whats going on out here, please look to the left of the page to my previous 3 posts. They're the video journals of where we've been and what we've been doing. So watch those before this one.... otherwise it might not make sense.) :-)
 
part 1: you think you know....
part 2: the well.
part 3: S.G.O.T. award



 
 
 Please pray for Team GATO over the next 48 hours.
Caroline.
Rachel.
Michelle.
Becky.
Kim.
We're ending our time with the girls here in Bangkok, Thailand.
And I KNOW they need to be covered.
As do we.
Thank you, thank you, and BLESS you for your encouragement and love....

ATTENTION PRAYER WARRIORS!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Posted in General Articles by Rachel Hunt on 9/25/2008


Attention Prayer Warriors

Thank you so much for praying for our team during this time of outreach in Bangkok, Thailand.  It has been vital for us to be surrounded in prayer as we have been heading into the bars in the Red Light District of Bangkok.  Amazing things have been happening and I wanted to give yall an update!
 
(Team GATO: Kim, Becky, Caroline, Michelle, and Me)

Tomorrow, September 26th we will be having lunch with a girl name Jan.  She is 32 years old and is the accountant for the P.P. Beer Bar.  I met her 2 weeks ago, and over the course of the past 2 weeks my team and I have built quite and amazing friendship with her.  Anyways, she invited us to go have lunch with her tomorrow, and she is treating!  I ask that you lift us in prayer at 1:00p.m. as we meet with her.  Pray that the Lord opens doors for us to share with her what we are all about!

(Jan and Myself inside the P.P. Beer Bar)
 
More great news is that two of the girls we have been spending our time with in the bars, Kung and Giftsy, have decided to visit "The Well" with us on Monday September 29th at 12:00pm.  Tonight, after we showed them a video of a girl at "The Well" telling her story we saw something happen with them.  We saw to beautiful girls light up with hope that they might be able to escape the sex trade world.  SO PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE pray that nothing keeps us from getting these girls to "The Well" with us on Monday. 
 
(Giftsy is next to me on my right and Kung is in the very Middle)

I also ask that you be praying for my new Thai friend Apple.  She is 23 years old and works at the P.P. Beer Bar.  She was the first girl I met in the Bars and my heart broke for her then and is still breaking for her now.  She is a beautiful young girl (which makes her very popular) that doesn't enjoy doing what she does.  I'm planning on showing her the video of the girl, at "The Well", telling her story tomorrow night.  I had planned on playing pool with her tonight, and sharing the video with her but a "customer" got to her before I had the chance.  Please pray for her protection, and pray that our obedience in planting the seeds in her life will spark some kind of hope in her.
 
 
(Apple and Myself)
 
        _______________________________________________________________________________________________________
 
Just incase you do not know what "The Well" is:  It is a ministry here in Thailand that works on getting girls out of the bars and into a safe environment.  They have 2 buildings and have about 60 girls working for them now.  The girls who leave the bar come to "The Well" and are provided jobs (making purses, jewelry, cards), school, they are taught English, they are taught about God, and they are paid salary and hourly according to the number of people in their family.

Ministry in Bangkok Thailand


Posted in General Articles by Rachel Hunt on 9/14/2008


Here's what goes on these days in Bangkok, Thailand.
If you haven't seen part one, please watch this one first: you think you know

Tonight, we get on a bus and head to Burirum... a 'feeder city' for the red light district of Bangkok. Its a place where many girls who now find themselves in the bars, spent their childhood. Over the next 5 days, we will have the opportunity to be like that one teacher you had that impacted you to strive for greater things, and to push yourself to be better than the world's expectations. We'll be hanging out with the kids in the schools, teaching English, and bringing hope to families who think that prostitution of their daughters is the only way to put food on the table.
Please, keep us in your prayers, and I'll update you when we get back!
