Hello!
Thank you for taking time to read about my upcoming mission trip to Indonesia.
I will be leading my first New Philadelphia Church mission trip to Manado, Indonesia from January 9th to 16th! This is also the first team that New Philly is sending to this region. The Indonesian Church is one of the fastest growing churches in the world but it is in the largest Muslim nation in the world and faces growing hostility from fundamental Islamic groups. Manado is a region in the North Sulawesi province, which is on a large island north of Bali, where Christianity has historically had a strong presence. We believe that the Lord wants to strengthen His church in this area to be an influence over the rest of the nation!
Personally, in this past year God has been stretching and refining me in my character and maturity as well as reshaping my relationship with him. I believe that through this trip, he not only wants me to grow in my spiritual authority as a leader but also to trust in Him and better understand His love for people.As crucial as the ‘mission’ against the kingdom of darkness is, our Father also desires us to genuinely love and care for people. So I pray that as we minister to the people in Manado we can also edify our Christian brothers and sisters there through relationship.
As someone who has blessed me through our relationship, I hope that you can send me out as the team leader and join me in this trip by covering me with your prayers and supporting me with your finances. Please pray for my leadership over the team and also that as I prepare, more than logistics, love would be my focus! Your prayers are crucial for this trip!
Also, if you are able and willing to support me through finances, please enter your amount under my profile and select "Donate Now". You can choose to give through bank transfer (for people in Korea, Sydney or Melbourne), cash at a New Philly Sunday service in Korea or through PayPal if you are not in Korea or Australia!
In addition to my own personal contribution, I will raising 1,400,000 Korean won (approx. $1,190 usd / $1,650 aud). Any contribution will be greatly appreciated!
Thank you for your time, God bless!
