“John answered them all, saying, ’I baptize you with water, but he who is mightier than I is coming, the strap of whose sandals I am not worthy to untie. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire.’”(Luke 3:16)
Love, joy, and peace in the name of our Lord, Jesus Christ! I trust that this letter finds you and your family exactly where you belong—in the length, width, height, and depth of God’s steadfast love (Ephesians 3:18)! In Jesus’ mighty name, let that truth penetrate the depths of your heart: He is faithful! This is my first experience going on missions and I am already getting ready to be sent from New Philadelphia Church. From January 30 to February 6, 2015, I will be in Kathmandu and Hetauda, Nepal with 10 other anointed missionaries to encourage, exhort, and build-up the saints! My church has sent missions teams to Nepal a couple of times before and the Lord moved powerfully during those trips, but I am expecting even more this time—more miracles, more salvations, and more manifestations of the Father’s love, amen?! We will be holding revival meetings at local congregations in addition to ministering and empowering the local pastors and leaders, and also the Tibetan refugee community. I feel like the Lord has stirred my heart to see the Holy Spirit overwhelm the youth leaders we will be ministering to. My prayer for all the Nepalese we meet on this trip is that they would not only believe in Jesus, but that they would be filled with His Spirit!
I hope you share in my enthusiasm to see His Spirit poured out on the people of Nepal! First, I would really appreciate your prayer support during this time. Please stand with me in prayer on behalf of myself, my team, and the Nepalese people. Additionally, I’m looking for financial partners. The total cost of the trip is 1,700,000KRW (about $1,700), but I need to raise 1,190,000KRW (about $1,190) to cover the remainder of my trip costs. I hope you will get excited with me as I am taking these steps of faith to experience the faithfulness of God during this missions season. Thank you so much for reading!
Blessings,
John Yeam
