Meet our Classes!

So far we have shown you just a little bit of what life is like in Korea, but we haven't really shown any of the school or our kids.  We have included their names so that you can pray for them by name!  Please please please, if you support our mission in no other way, pray for these kids that they would see the light of Jesus in us every day and that they would be impacted by the Kingdom of God.  We love these dear children with a love we couldn't possibly pull out of our own limited hearts.  We hope that you will join us in lifting them up in prayer.

Mission Update:

A few days into the school year, both of us decided to start our Bible classes not with a reading from the Word, but with a Roman's Road type of "what it means and takes to be saved" type of lesson.  During the lessons, we could see some of the students in our classes listening intently and taking every word to heart.  At the end of the lesson, we both ended by asking our kids if they wanted to ask Jesus to be their Lord and savior.  We cannot by any means judge the hearts of our kids, but there were 12 or 13 hands that went in the air between the two classes.  We know that it was not because of how eloquently we spoke that day, or by how much emotion we put into it.  We know that those kids responded to what the Lord had pressed upon their hearts, and they responded to the years of love they have received previously here at Pyongtaek International Christian School (ICS).  Thank you for your prayer and financial support.  We hope that you feel connected to this outreach, and we hope that you can see that your part in our mission is equally important to our own.  Thank you for being part of what we have come to Korea to do.  

We love you.. God bless!
