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 brokenhearted,
to proclaim freedom for the captives. ( Isaiah 61:1 )

Dear family and friends,
Greetings! How are you? I pray that this letter finds you and your family healthy and rejoicing in the Lord. I am writing this to share some exciting news with you regarding an opportunity to share the message of the Gospel.
From July 27 to August 3, I will be going on my
first mission trip to Japan with my church “New Philadelphia”
(newphiladelphiachurch.com). My team consists of 13 servant
hearted sons and daughters in Christ who are giving up their
vacation days and free time to go to this nation and display the
love of Jesus Christ.
This 7 day missions trip will be focused on reaching out and
spreading the Gospel to the nation of Japan. According to
statistics, most of the Japanese do not consider themselves
believers in any religion. Sadly to say, Japan is one of the
least reached countries in the world with the Gospel, as there is
only less than one percent of Japanese that are Christians.
However, through this trip, we believe that God will accomplish
His mighty works, to open up their eyes and hearts to the message
of Jesus and we want to see people that are hungry for God come
to the Lord. It is our prayer that as we go in anointing of the
Holy Spirit, the gospel will bring revival to the land.
I hope that you will share in my enthusiasm. While God has given me the opportunity to develop a greater heart of compassion for His people around the world, you will be able to share in this compassion in two ways. First, I would like to ask for prayer support. Please keep me and my team in prayer, not only during the missions trip but before and after as well. I believe that your prayers would really equip us and empower us to be mighty warriors for the Lord! You can also go to facebook.com/newphilly, as there will be daily updates from the field of our team’s progress that you can pray specifically for. Secondly, I will be raising 500,000 krw for this missions trip. If you decide to support me, please visit the website: http:// support.newphilly.cc . A team profile and picture are available there. All of your support is greatly appreciated.
Thank you for reading. May God bless you.
Yours truly,
