Step Ahead is a Christian based integrated community development organization, based in Thailand, focused on partnering with the working poor to see comprehensive and sustainable transformation. Established in September 2002, Step Ahead first launched a holistic micro-enterprise development program in Klong Toey slum communities. In 2004, Step Ahead expanded its core activities in response to the devastation caused by the December 26 Asian Tsunami, opening the Khao Lak office and offering education, community development, and alternative livelihood programs.
In 2009, Step Ahead once again expanded its reach, opening the Pattaya office with a primary focus on economic development activities for women at risk.

Author Paula Rinehart offers tremendous hope and healing for women who have suffered at the hands of sexual sin or abuse.

While in Thailand, Janell Rardon met Annie Dieselberg of Night Light International. This dynamic woman of God has rescued over 80 women from sexual exploitation. She has seen Ann's ministry firsthand, met these women, and knows for a fact, that this front-line ministry is taking the kingdom of God by force (Matthew 11:12).
