Cambodia, Thailand, Haiti & Joplin, MO

In 2003, Rapha International began serving trafficking survivors in Battambang, Cambodia through holistic Survivor Care. Today Rapha operates two Survivor Care campuses, located in Battambang & Siem Reap, two Prevention centers, and two centers for transitional living and community-based services. Rapha opened a Survivor Care campus in Chiang Mai, Thailand in 2009. In 2014, Rapha began serving vulnerable children and families with Prevention services in Mae Sot. In 2014, Rapha began serving survivors in residential care in Port-au-Prince, Haiti. Since then, despite enormous challenges posed by gang violence, political unrest, and extreme poverty, Rapha has delivered life-saving services in partnership with transnational organizations in Haiti. In 2020, Rapha established the Hope and Healing Center in Joplin, MO, beginning a new chapter in which Rapha provides services to survivors in the US. This ministry exists to provide trauma-focused therapy for child, teen, and adult survivors of a variety of traumas, including violence, sexual abuse, and trafficking, in order to promote lifelong hope and healing.

Saved in Translation by Darrin King

“Have you ever had the experience of being ‘lost in translation’? It usually refers to (sometimes funny) things that happen when translation is attempted across languages. If you’ve seen the 2003 film Lost in Translation, you may agree with director Sofia Coppola that the phrase also refers to ‘things being disconnected, and looking for moments of connection.’ One of my own experiences might be described in that way.”

Grow in Prayer and Generosity.

Three ways to pray right now:

1

Pray for God to continue to work through the girls doing the hard work of healing, that they would trust in Him to make a way.

2

Pray for children in Cambodia, Thailand, and Haiti who long for hope. Pray that our staff would have wisdom daily, knowing how best to show them love.

3

Pray for each survivor to know how intrinsically valuable and how deeply loved they are.
