Rahab Ministries Thailand (also simply called Rahab Ministries or Rahab) is a Christian non-governmental organization that provides outreach for sexually trafficked women and children in Thailand.[1] Members of the organization visit these women in the bars of Bangkok, Thailand, offering them counselling and engaging them in friendship evangelism.[2] The organization also offers life skills-based education to these women, teaching them cosmetology, handicrafting, hairdressing, and jewelry design.[3] Rahab Ministries is a faith-based organization and assists women in prostitution in Thailand, such as to help them exit the sex industry.[4] The organization is named after the Biblical figure of Rahab, who successfully left prostitution and got married.[5] The specific geographical focus of Rahab Ministries is Patpong, a red-light district.[6] The organization was founded by Patricia Green in 1988.[7] Green was the director of the organization until 2004, at which point local Thai people took over the leadership of the organization.[8] Green left Rahab Ministries to work with Thai human trafficking victims in Germany.[9] In 2010, International Christian Mission Thailand partnered with Rahab Ministries in teaching life skills-based education.[10] Patricia Green died on March 19, 2015 in Hamilton, New Zealand, aged 77. A moving memorial service was held in Berlin at the end of May 2015
