But he was pierced for our transgressions;
he was crushed for our iniquities;
upon him was the chastisement that brought us peace,
and with his wounds we are healed. (Isaiah 53:5)

Dear friends,
Greetings! How are you? I hope that this letter finds you and your family healthy and rejoicing in the Lord! I wanted to take this time to share with you about a missions trip that I’ll be serving in this summer.
From July 26 to Aug 2, I will be in General Santos serving on a missions trip with my church “New Philadelphia” (newphiladelphiachurch.com). My team consists of 13 servant-hearted people who are giving up their vacation days and free time to go to this nation and display the love of Jesus Christ. We will be leading an Orientation Retreat for the students at the Faith Bible Institute and will also be ministering with these students at services in the General Santos area.
I’m so excited to go. A few weeks ago, I had a chance to pray for a girl with severe back pain. In faith, I prayed that she will be completely healed in Jesus’ name. To my surprise, she was fully healed as she joyfully asked me to return the medicine that I had bought for her earlier. I desire to see more supernatural physical healings in General Santos. I also pray that the gospel will bring healing to the hearts of the youth who are heavy burdened, hurt and hopeless.
I hope that you will share in my enthusiasm. There are two ways in which you can partner with me on this missions trip. First, I’d like to ask you for prayer. If you go to facebook.com/newphilly, there will be daily updates from the field of our team’s progress so you can pray for specific topics. Secondly, the total cost of the trip is 1,000,000 krw, but I will be raising 750,000 krw to cover some of the trip expenses. If you’d like to help, please visit the web site: http://support.newphilly.cc and you can support me directly there.
Thank you for reading!
Yours truly,
Sunny Hong
