A Word from Zuleima
"Through Shear Faith International, I will have the privilege of teaching English to those coming from a background of poverty, abuse, exploitation, or trafficking. Shear Faith International believes all people deserve an education and an opportunity to succeed. As an English teacher, I would be involved in the restoration side of human trafficking. I plan to serve in Thailand for one year. I will report to you regularly on how God is working among the people I will serve.”
Zuleima’s mission is hands-on, heart-first, and rooted in the belief that every life has value and purpose.

A Mission of Mercy in a City of Need
In Pattaya, Thailand—one of the world’s largest hubs for sex tourism and human trafficking—there are women and men who have been overlooked, exploited, and silenced. Through the love of Christ, this ministry steps into those broken places with open arms and a message of restoration. We are committed to walking alongside those emerging from abuse, poverty, and trafficking—offering not just rescue, but redemption.

– Provide educational tools and opportunities (like English classes)
– Share the gospel through word and action
– Offer ongoing discipleship to help rebuild lives on the foundation of ChristRestoring identity. Rekindling dignity. Rewriting the story—through Jesus.
True healing doesn’t happen in a moment—it unfolds in community. In Pattaya, there is an urgent need for ongoing discipleship. The goal isn’t just rescue—it’s a re-rooting in love, truth, and grace.
– Prayer for boldness, strength, protection, and spiritual breakthrough
– Encouragement for the journey—this is hard but holy groundEvangelism—To share the love of Jesus with every soul reached through this ministry and see lives transformed by His truth.
Your prayers and encouragement make a difference. God is moving, and we get to be part of it.
