Hallelujah! I pray that the God of peace be with you. Today, I would like to share two prayer requests with you.The first prayer request is for a sister who successfully climbed Mount Everest. Through the documentary "Beyond Utopia," she became aware of the hardships faced by North Korean escapees. In order to raise awareness about North Korean ministry and give glory to God, she raised the flag of Caleb Mission at the summit of Everest.
Now, she is taking on a new challenge by participating in the "Marathon des Sables," a grueling race that covers 250 km across the Sahara Desert over the course of seven days. Her goal is to raise awareness about the difficult journey that North Korean escapees endure when crossing the Mongolian desert.
Her goal is to find donors who will donate $80 for every kilometer she runs, aiming to raise $20,000 upon completing the 250 km. This amount will be used to rescue one North Korean defector. With a heart devoted to saving one soul more precious than the world, she embarks on this journey. I kindly ask for your prayers and support for her challenge, especially for her health and God's guidance throughout this journey.
The second prayer request is for Caleb Mission’s prison ministry in South Korea.
Among those who have fled North Korea to South Korea, many face challenges due to a lack of understanding of the South Korean legal system. Some have been imprisoned for taking unconventional measures to help their starving families in North Korea. Caleb Mission is preparing to minister to these prisoners by sharing the Gospel and walking alongside them.
Most preparations for this ministry are well underway, but we urgently need new Bibles that include both Scriptures and hymnals. If you have any new combined Bible-hymnals at home or would like to contribute, please send them to Caleb Mission or contact us directly. With your support, we hope to share the Gospel with prisoners and invite them to be part of God’s Kingdom. (This request is specifically for people in South Korea due to shipping costs.)
The final prayer request is for laptops to assist in the rescue of North Korean escapees. Seven local missionaries in Southeast Asia, primarily pastors, urgently need these devices for their ministry. While used laptops were an option, new ones would be more effective. Each new laptop costs about 1.5 million KRW (around $1,150). If you feel led to donate or contribute, it would greatly support their work in rescuing escapees and spreading the Gospel in local communities.
I share these prayer requests with you, asking for your prayers and partnership. Thank you for joining us in this journey with your prayers and support. May the peace and grace of the Lord be with you abundantly.
Blessings in Christ,
Pastor Kim
