in short… A LOT.

But if you are the type who likes to have things spelled out nice and clear, then you will be DELIGHTED to read this blog post.

Lighthouse in Action is the name of the umbrella organization, under YWAM, that has three different divisions/parts/branches.

Won Generation

WonGeneration is our college outreach ministry (prevention).

We want to see a winning generation of young Thai students who are committed to following Christ, and who make future decisions for this country based on godly principles.

We do daily college outreach, teach English classes, and have special events for the students.

Love Acts

Love Acts is the red-light district and slums outreach ministry (prevention/interventon/restoration).

We go out into the bars of northern Thailand and build relationships with the girls, and ladyboys. Our hope is that they will see Jesus in us, and we can offer them an alternative to the life they are living now. We have English classes available for the red-light district workers, and a sponsorship program to support the ones who are ready to leave.

We are hoping to create a social enterprise for Love Acts that focuses on the ones who are passionate about the arts, and will be able to sell their work to make a living, and use the rest of the money to continue the red-light district outreach of Love Acts.

We also work with at risk children in the red-light, and slums, by building relationships, playing games, teaching English, and music.

X-Life

X-Life is the village outreach ministry (prevention/intervention).

We want to see the villages of northern Thailand transformed with the truth of God. We work alongside, laugh, cry, sleep, and do life with the villagers in hopes that our lives will show the characteristics of a Jesus they have yet to meet.

We also hope to educate them on the evil truths of the commercial sex trade in the cities, so that they do not sell their children into a life of prostitution.

Those are the three ministries under Lighthouse in Action

WonGen Kafe

Then we have WonGen Kafe. WonGen Kafe is a place where students, missionaries, tourists, bar workers, and families can go to eat some delicious food, and hang out in a safe, loving, and goldy environment. It’s where we hold our English classes, meetings, open mics, concerts, and even a church service!

Lighthouse Guesthouse

The guesthouse is available for missionaries, missions teams, and believers looking for a place to stay while visiting Chiang Mai for a couple of days.

Because we do a lot, we need more full-time staff. So if you are curious about our available positions, send us a message.

Why Do We Do All This?

It’s simple.

We want to see the evil of sex trafficking eradicated, and we want to see the Thai people transformed, by Jesus, from the inside out.

His will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
