Information:
The MST (Men and The Sex Trade) Project is a ministry that reaches out to foreign men that come to red-light districts. They initiate conversation by using an anonymous survey to learn more about them and the reasons that lead them to come to the red-light district. The answers are used to compile statistics as well as to continually review the effectiveness of their methods. They also use the survey to stimulate discussions about faith and their personal testimonies. They try to build relationships with the men whom they meet and pursue more meetings with them if they are willing to meet.
They believe that God’s grace and love pertains to all men, in all places, and at all times. Many of these men choose to engage in sexual activity for a variety of reasons. Some men use the services found in a red-light district as a means to cope with their pain similar to how others may use alcohol, drugs, food etc. God is not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance. This includes men in the red-light districts. They view these men as people whom God cares about.
Their staff and volunteers of men and women, have a personal relationship with Christ and believe in the timeless truth of God’s Word. They believe, however, that there is a difference between a set of religious rules and our own personal relationship with Christ. Many times in the Scriptures we see Christ’s reaction of disapproval toward the religious leaders of the day. (John 2; Matthew 23). We do not seek to force “religion” down one’s throat, but we do desire to share the hope, fulfillment, transformation and healing that can be found in the love of God and in personal relationship with Christ.
They believe that wherever in the world there is a red-light district they want to be there to share God’s love. View their ‘Locations’ page.
Prayer Focus:
Ask God to bless this ministry as they reach out to the demanders in the industry of human trafficking. If the men can be reached and set free by Jesus, then the demand will diminish and the captives will go free. If these men can get to the bottom of their depravity and vile behavior, then a healing will result and a life will be changed. Pray that this ministry will reach the johns in the human trafficking world and that they will see thier need for Jesus when they consider who they have become. Pray for a revelation that each and every life has a tremendous value. Pray that the johns will be healed from hurt pasts and stop using the purchase of women as a solution to their hurt and pain. Ask God to set them free so that the demand for women will stop.
