Blessed be the Lord, who daily bears us up; God is our salvation. Our God is a God of salvationand to God, the Lord, belong deliverances from death
–Psalm 68:19-20
Hello friends!
Thank you for taking the time to read this letter. I hope it finds you well in these summer months! I am writing to share with you my own plans in the upcoming months.
As you may already know, I have spent the last two years as a staff intern at Manna Christian Fellowship, a campus ministry at Princeton University dedicated to developing and engaging a gospel worldview. My time with Manna has been a huge blessing, deepening in the knowledge of and love for the gospel. This fall (August 2nd to be exact!), I will be starting my first year of medical school at UVA. Between these two very different chapters in my life, I find myself being called to missions in Sydney, Australia.
From July 23rd-30th, I will be joining a team of 12 members from New Philadelphia Church of Seoul, South Korea to Sydney, where we will minister to Australian youth and young adults through Sydney Full Life Gospel’s summer conference. This will be my first mission trip with New Philly, and I am excited to see what God has in store for our team and the youth of Australia. Having spent most of my post-graduate life in college ministry, I can say with certainty that young adulthood is a crucial time in a person’s faith. I believe that through our short time in Sydney, God will use us to bring forth His Kingdom in Sydney.
By sending you this letter, I am asking you to partner with me on this trip!
First, through prayer. Please pray for 1) unity within the team and discipline during the weeks leading up to the trip, and 2) the youth of Australia—that their hearts will be open to hear the Word of God and that lives will be changed! For specifics on how to pray for us, updates can be found on facebook (facebook.com/newphilly) during the trip!
Second, monetarily! My personal goal is to raise 1,275,000 Korean Won (~1,100 USD), as well as contribute 425,000 from my own budget (for a total of 1,700,000!). If you would like to support me, please click “add to basket".
Thank you for being someone I can send a support letter to, someone I love very much and would love to have join me in this exciting part of my life. God is so good to place you in my life.
For His Kingdom,
Esther Won
