The Spirit of the Sovereign Lord is on me
because the Lord has anointed me
to preach good news to the poor.
He has sent me to bind up the broken-hearted,
to proclaim freedom for the captives
and release from darkness for the prisoners.
- Isaiah 61:1-2
Hi, I hope this letter finds you well! In July, I was incredibly blessed to be able to go on my first missions trip with New Philadelphia Church (newphiladelphiachurch.com) and minister in Sydney and Melbourne, Australia. This winter, I have the opportunity to go on missions again, this time to a completely different part of the world: Southeast Asia!
From January 28 to February 4, I will be part of a team sent to Cambodia. We will be working with a local pastor in the Kampot Province (two hours outside the capital). Pastor Kimeng is a partner with NPWM (Native Partners for World Mission), an organization founded by our Korean mother church that equips local, native pastors to do ministry. Pastor Kimeng has planted three churches and oversees a growing youth outreach ministry as well as a child sponsorship/orphan care program. I am excited to see how God is moving in Cambodia and to be a part of how He wants to move this winter!
I am also excited to give you the opportunity to partner with me in the work God is going to do! First, you can join me in praying for the people of Cambodia and for Pastor Kimeng’s ministry, and you can cover me and my team in prayer. We can’t go unless we are sent, and your prayers are an essential part of that sending! Daily updates will be posted from the field on our facebook page (facebook.com/newphilly) so you can pray specifically.
Second, you can sow into our trip financially. I am raising 650,000 KRW (about $650), along with 650,000 KRW that I am personally investing (so total, 1,300,000 KRW), to cover the trip expenses. If you would like to contribute, you can just click the "add to basket" button.
Thank you so much for your time and consideration!
