A Model for Ministry
to Women in Prostitution

book is based upon the 'Rahab Ministries Manual 2004' and contains
a very full analysis of the Rahab work amongst prostitutes in Thailand.
However this book is not just relevant to Thailand. Although there is much of general interest to the casual reader - 'Model for Ministry' gives revealing insights into the world of human trafficking - there is very much more for the person who wants to roll up their sleeves and get involved.
