Greetings from NGI!😊

With your prayers and support, we were able to raise 31% of the funds required for our New Korea English Camp (NKEC) & Nehemiah English School (NES), projects we’ve shared with you in our last newsletter. Hallelujah!

2022 NKEC brings the next generations of North & South Korean students together, and our NES Summer Semester is designed to help students learn English and grow in spirit. Please pray for our students as they continue their journey in Christ. Also, we ask for your blessings as we are trying to reach our fund goal. Currently, 69% of the total expenses have not yet been raised.

※ The Fund will be used as a scholarship to cover the registration fees for North Korean refugees. With this scholarship, they will be able to participate in the camp for the next generation.

Three interns came to Korea all the way from the United States to serve as teachers at both English School (6/28 – 7/22) and New Korea English Camp. They will be staying with us for the next 3 months. All three of them first met our 4 North Korean students at NDC, last winter, and their heart for North Korea grew during those times.

Our interns decided to partner with NGI during this summer, teaching 30 students at the summer school and volunteering at New Korean English Camp. They will be spending time with students all day, teaching English and sharing God’s love.

We are excited to witness God’s great work! We will do our best to help all 30 students to improve their English skills, to foster a thirst for God, and to fall deeper in love with God.

For all these to happen, we sincerely ask for your support as we are trying to reach our scholarship goal of 30,000,000 KRW (1,000,000 KRW per person). Please pray for our students and support them with your love!

NERC (Nehemiah English Reunification Camp) from three years ago has newly transformed into NKEC (New Korea English Camp) where the next generation of NK Refugees, South Korean teenagers as well as Diaspora Koreans (Chinese-North Korean students; and Korean refugees living in Russia and countries that were previously a part of the USSR (e.g. Ukraine, Kazakhstan…) come together to worship, prepare for the reunification, and learn English. We look forward to having teenage students refine their identity in Christ and grow as a leader like Nehemiah in the reunified Korea era.

NERC 2019 Highlight Clip

Regardless of their age, many NK refugee students jump right into the workforce instead of continuing their education because they need to survive in the South Korean society where competitions are overly emphasized and to rescue their relatives that are left back in North Korea.

Even if they have an opportunity to continue their education, gaps in languages – especially English – and financial difficulties complicate them to complete the education. It is like a dream for us to assist the students to learn English and plan for their future.

We invite you to our NKEC mission!

Many NK refugee students accepted Christ and grew their visions that God planned for each individual at the camp in 2017, 2018, and 2019 which was enabled by your prayers and financial support of you.

Comments from 2019 NERC students

NK teenage refugees who are in financial difficulties need our help. A small seed you plant will become an initiative for them to hear about the gospel and to grow their vision God has for them.

The theme of NKEC 2022 is 'I am Nehemiah!' Nehemiah reconstructed collapsed wall back in Jerusalem to obey God during his time as a Babylon slave and helped the Israelites to restore the relationship with the Lord.

The next generation of North Korean refugees and diaspora Koreans became 'Nehemiah for this generation' with the keywords of unification and English for 7 nights and 8 days with volunteers from various countries around the world. It opens a place of worship and festival where the people of the land dream of restoring their relationship with God and realizing a unified Korea together.
Partners, please send participants, serve as volunteers, and participate as sponsors.

The camp is recruiting 100 students and 50 volunteers. So far, 74 students and 30-40 volunteers have decided to participate, including 58 North Korean refugees (60 are expected to be recruited), 8 Korean refugees living in Russia, and 8 South Korean students.

And we urgently ask for your financial support so that North Korean refugees who cannot participate due to financial difficulties can participate in the camp. We need a scholarship of $51,000 USD ($850 USD per person) for 60 students of North Korean refugees!

Dear $%name%$, please plant the seed at your church or home! Through this, send the next generation of North Korean refugees to the NKEC camp, where they will be established as Nehemiahs in the era of reunification!
