Bo Ding

Here it is. One of the biggest brothels in Phnom Penh. Bo Ding. Right off a main road, it seems to stretch for a painful eternity. Even if it is a brilliantly sunny day, it doesn't seem to reach this place. This building doesn't hide its darkness. It's exposed so clearly to us and yet it's passed by thousands all day without a second glance. As we pass by, we battle within our hearts whether to shut down and become numb or to use the breaking of our hearts to find strength and take action. 
To local Cambodians, it is just another industry. The sex trade is a way of life and offers to many the hope of a decent wage. It is normal and common. Just another street...just another building.

"If this is so, then the Lord knows how to rescue the godly from trials and to hold the unrighteous for punishment on the day of judgement." 2 Peter 2:9
