After six years

Dear brothers and sisters in Christ,

The world is not grateful to the Lord and is becoming even more hateful to God and to each other. As a Korean American, I follow the news from both the U.S. and South Korea. The polarization of both countries is beyond the ground of negotiation, and it gets physical in various ways. Please stay alert and remain faithful to the Lord. It is our prayer that the Lord will come soon, put this tumbling world to an end, and bring a new heaven and a new earth! Please do not fight against different religions, ideologies, sexual orientations, or political affiliations. Our battle is against the devil, not against other human beings. I am afraid that many Christians are losing their purpose and following the political agenda or political figures. We should follow only one person, and that is Jesus Christ!

Please continue to pray for Hana Mission, so whatever the Lord asks us to do, we will do it without grumbling.

We have a few good news and prayer requests.

1. Summer camp is reopened: Today is the second day of the camp, and the Beacon Church has been here since last Saturday. Thanks to pastor James, the team leaders Sabastian and Melany, and 16 volunteers, ages 11 to 15.

The only challenge is this: we have only two campers from Paterson, and we are working on bringing more children to the camp.

2. The school plan was revised and is ready to be submitted to the city. What Hana Mission needs right now is an attorney who will take this case to the city with minimal fees. Please talk to your friends about it and let us know if you have an attorney who will work together with Hana Mission.

3. I have sold about 100 Korean books and 50 English versions. Please call me if you would like to purchase the Korean version. You can order from Amazon for the English version.

Thank you, everyone, for your support and prayers. May the Lord keep your spiritual fire burning and bless you this summer!

안녕하세요

오랜만에 인사 드립니다.

모든 것이 부족한 상황이지만 어렵사리 어린이 캠프를 시작하였습니다.

감사하게도 뉴욕에서 온 등대 교회가 캠프에 참여하는 아이들이 거의 전무하여도 잘 참고 선교회에서 봉사하고 있습니다.

어제 패터슨 아이 둘이 참여 하였고 오늘은 더 많은 아이들이 오기를 바랍니다.

등대 교회는 다민족 성도들로 구성되어 참 보기 좋은 모습입니다. 특별히 분열되어가는 미국 사회와 비추어 볼 때 그리스도 만이 모든 언어와 민족을 하나로 묶을 수 있는 '길' 임을 새삼 느끼게 됩니다.

여러분께 기도 부탁드립니다.

1. 어린이 캠프가 8월 2일 까지 계속 될 예정입니다. 하나님의 은혜가 풍성한 시간이 되도록 기도 해주세요.

더 많은 아이들이 찾아와 하나님의 사랑을 듬뿍 받아가도록 기도 부탁 드립니다.

2. 학교 건축을 위한 도면이 완성되었습니다. 이번 공청회를 위하여 변호사 선정을 해야 합니다.

혹시 주위에 이 일에 동참할 변호사가 있으시면 소개해 주시면 감사하겠습니다.
