Defend the cause of the weak and fatherless;
Maintain the rights of the poor and oppressed. Rescue the weak and needy;
Deliver them from the hand of the wicked. (Psalm 82:3-4)

Dear Brothers and Sisters,
Season's Greetings to you and your family! I hope this New Year's season will be a time well spent with loved ones. This will be the start to my second year serving as an Intern Pastor here in South Korea for New Philadelphia Church. I have built a wealth of rich relationships here on top of training for ministry and I am excited for this upcoming year!
Things will start off for me on February 4th to the 11th as I go to Malaysia on a missions trip to minister to the longhouse communities in the Borneo region. We will be spending the majority of the day personally ministering to people and ushering in the presence of God through evening revival gatherings in the longhouses.
My team will consist of 13 members, 2 of whom will be joining us from Australia. Reflecting on my first year here with New Philly, each missions trip catapulted me into a new capacity to serve my local community and God. Although I will not be expanding on the specifics of those trips here, I would like to ask you to partner with me in this next missions trip; a springboard God is preparing to launch me and this church to a new level! I look forward to seeing what God is planning and will commit to updating you along the way!
Please partner with me financially or through prayer. I will be looking to raise roughly 1,125,000 won (approximately 1,050 USD) to cover 75% of the trip cost.
Blessings,
Emily Suen
