Dear Partners, I pray that your year will end beautifully.
The year 2019 is coming to an end.
It was a year of God's unparalleled love and amazing grace.
As for the REMEMBER ministry, we held 21 rallies in Korea and 40 rallies overseas (60 rallies in total), calling for freedom of human rights and religion for North Korea. We have sent off 1,200 rice bottles containing Bible and handwritten letters to the North. At the RESTORE ministry, 284 North Korean refugees were going through restoration as they settle down in South Korea through Home visitation ministry, Family camp, Healing trip, and Hanawon visitation. In the REBUILD ministry, we have equipped at least 230 North Korean refugees and their children as the generation of the Unified Korea through Nehemiah English Unification Camp, Nehemiah Youth Club, and Nehemiah English School.
Without your generous support and prayers from all of you, we would not be able to experience so many fruits and miracles. I heartily thank you for being part of this journey together.
In 2020, under the theme of "Revival," we will focus on the restoration of the Korean Peninsula, the restoration of the lives of North Korean refugees, and the North Korean people to the gospel.
From January 17th to February 1st, Nehemiah Discipleship Camp with the theme "Dream, Destiny and Discipleship," will be held in Seattle, Los Angeles, and San Jose in the U.S. with eight young North Korean refugees. We will give lectures on dreams, missions, and apprenticeship. We will help them share their dreams, develop them and make practical preparations, visit universities, Korean churches, and local churches to help them better understand North Korea, and share their testimonies in rallies together.
Please pray that they can dream together, and we can raise faithful disciples of God through this camp. In particular, please pray for the provision of the airfare amounting to 12 million won will be filled by next week.
Also, 60 percent of North Korean University students fail to adjust and drop out while attending school. To help them, NGI will start an intensive English school for young North Korean refugees and University students in March 2020. Through intensive English education, we will assist students who are currently attending university to complete their University courses well.
We believe that providing practical help to them is "Standing with North Korean Refugees."
Your interest and prayer will give profound impact and miracles in their lives.
May His love and peace overflow with all your fellow workers and your family in this New Year. Thank you.
