Arise, shine, for your light has come, and the glory of the Lord has risen upon you.

For behold, darkness shall cover the earth, and thick darkness the peoples;

But the Lord will arise upon you, and his glory will be seen upon you. (Isaiah 60:1-2)

Dear brothers and sisters,

 

Hello! How are you doing? I hope all is well for you these days! I want to take a minute to talk about what I’ve been up to and my upcoming missions trip.

So in case you didn’t know, I moved out to Seoul about a year ago in order to experience life in the motherland, and to try my hand at teaching. I’ve been teaching English at a language academy to elementary and middle school students and it’s been a great experience overall. There are a lot of great things about living in Seoul, but one of the highlights is definitely my church. I found a wonderful family of believers called “New Philadelphia” (www.newphiladelphiachurch.com). New Philly has really strengthened my faith and is constantly challenging me to step it up in various ways. My desire to go on missions is one of the fruits from this past year.

From July 27 to August 3, I will be in Japan serving on a missions trip with my church. Besides me, there are 13 others from our church who will be using their vacation days to go serve and display the love of Christ to this nation. We will be visiting churches and connecting with the local believers, praying for the sick, doing prayer walks, and hosting revival services.

I’m so excited to go! This will be my first missions trip ever. As you are probably aware, Japan has very few Christians (< 0.5% Protestant). It is indeed a nation in thick darkness. But I’ve been hearing many encouraging reports that there are signs of revival among the youth. I pray that our team will be able to help sow into this movement in some way at this critical hour. It is our prayer that as we go in the anointing of the Holy Spirit, that an acceleration of the gospel will take place.

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. As you know prayer is extremely important and we will need prayer covering before, during, and after the trip. I will send out an update before and after the trip to help you pray for me and my team specifically. Secondly, I will be raising KRW 500,000 to help cover the trip expenses. If you would like to support me financially, you can use this website to do so.

Thank you for reading!

Sincerely,

 

Chris Kim
