Meet Angkhana
Four years ago, Christ pursued this beautiful lady and wrecked her life for Him. Her testimony is incredible. She grew up Buddhist, like the majority of Thai people. After losing her business, her husband and her parents all within a year- she had hit her lowest. But Jesus changed her heart and gave her a new life. Her hope is now in Him, not in the circumstances of life. Since then, she has started her own ministry out of her home. She lives right in the middle of the red light district, with an open door for girls to come and seek refuge. She cooks with them, plays with them, mentors them, and is a listening ear. Though she lives on very little, she is the most generous person I have ever met. She spends all her extra money to buy baking supplies in order to cook with the kids. She also has an incredible passion for ministering to Burmese refugees. She often makes long journeys to take cookies and cupcakes to them and to share about Christ's amazing love. Her light shines all the more brightly in this darkness.
My team and I have had the privilege of getting to know this incredible woman and teaching a class twice a week with the kids in this area. We have been able to teach English and Bible stories to these children. I have loved every minute of it.
