Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him and He will make your path straight. (Proverbs 3:5-6)

Dear readers,
Grace and peace to you. I hope you are doing well. It has been such a wonderful and blissful journey that God has called me to come to Korea not only to glorify Him through studies but also to go on a mission trip organized by New Philadelphia Church to Sri Lanka to share the good news.
I have been wanting to go on a mission trip to share the unconditional love of Christ to those that don't know Him. I am thrilled that God has opened the door for me to serve on my very first mission trip to Sri Lanka from 26th December 2016 till 31st December 2016. We will be ministering at gatherings in the capital city of Colombo in addition to remote village churches on the east coast. The greatest part of the trip will be a joint revival service gathering all the youths across the country to worship His name as one. We pray that through the work of the Holy Spirit, their lives will be transformed tremendously and that lost souls will be brought into a wonderful relationship with Christ Jesus.
Christianity is a minority religion in Sri Lanka and it was first introduced to this wonderful island in the first century. Nowadays, it is fragile and persecuted. The Sri Lankan Christians are having a difficult time living due to the social effects of a long civil war. Churches and prayer groups have been forced to close. Also, Christian burials are not allowed and the vast amount of violent attacks have been hard on them, and also given that religious freedom is unstable.
By responding to the fact stated above, as we pray for His blessing on this upcoming trip, I invite you to sow into our mission team. There are 2 primary ways in which you can participate. The first one is that you can pray for our trip. As Christians, we believe that prayer is the most important element for the success of any mission trip. I ask that you pray for this trip to be a safe one and to accomplish His calling.
The other way to support us is to sow in financially. The total cost is 1,500,000won. I will be sowing in a personal contribution of 750,000won. If you'd like to contribute, please visit http://support.newphilly.cc and you can support me directly there.
Thank you for taking your time to read this and have a blessed day!
Sincerely,
Kah Shang, John Nivie Yeo
