Why Thailand?

Pattaya, Thailand is often referred to as “the sex capital of the world”. Prostitution and fishing are two of the leading industries in Pattaya, resulting in high rates of sex and labor trafficking. Trafficking leaves nearly 2,000 children homeless in Pattaya alone. One-third of Thai families will experience verbal or physical abuse.

58:12 Thailand, was launched to provide hope and healing to the most vulnerable in Pattaya. Our mission targets in Pattaya are outreach programs, food ministries, and a partnernship with One Way Church to serve the most vulnerable. You can help us make a difference in Thailand.

How We're Serving

Partnership with Oneway Church

As of 2022, we are partnering with Oneway Church in Pattaya to launch community outreaches, provide training opportunities, and collaborate with ministry leaders in the city. Jacob Raber, the director of 58:12 Thailand, will also be serving as an assistant Pastor at Oneway Church. This partnership with Oneway aligns with our vision to set the ground work for indigenous leaders to be equipped to share the gospel throughout the city.

Weekly Outreaches

Our team hosts a number of outreaches each week including Kids Club for local children, a women’s outreach, and a men’s outreach. The goal of each outreach is to teach people about Christ and to form relationships of trust and acceptance. 

"Ton of Rice" Program

At the beginning of the global shutdown in March of 2020, the outreach programs hosted by our team were put on pause. Knowing that there would be added suffering to many locals of Pattaya, our team began their “Ton of Rice” program with the goal to give away a ton of rice each year. Along with rice, they also pass out fresh vegetables that are grown in the garden at our complex. So far, our team has given away over 15 tons of rice, equalling more than 30,000 pounds.
