“For we are God’s workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.” Ephesians 2:10 NIV
Shalom! I hope you are filled with joy and excitement for 2015, the year of wealth! 2014 has been a roller coaster ride for me but I’ve been growing in wisdom! As we are stepping into new year, It is also my joy to invite you to the most exciting and joyful moment of my life! My first missions trip with my church New Philadelphia!
From January 26 to February 2, I will be in Jakarta, Indonesia serving with 11 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 ministering at IKATA Theological Seminary to strengthen and encourage the students there, we will be ministering at local churches, praying for the sick and empowering local leaders.
I’ve been on missions before but I’m particularly excited for this season because it’s my first missions trip with my church! I’m excited to see how my church does missions because I heard powerful testimonies from the previous teams and I really wanted to experience all that for myself.
Indonesia is the largest Muslim country in the world. Christians are severely persecuted in many regions and make up only about 7% of the population. It is our prayer that the Gospel will reach non-believers and turn their hearts to Christ.
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 specifically.
Secondly, I will be raising 980,000 krw ($980.00) to cover some of the trip’s expenses. If you would like to help, please visit the web site: http://support.newphilly.cc.
A team profile and picture is available there.
Thank you for reading! :)
Yours truly,
