Dear FMC,

We have always been grateful for the support of our NCFC family.   Thank you again for sending us out as a family in 2003.  Below is a summary of Jan -March 2015.

Chong Ho has continuedhis 12 year role as the CIO of the UofN Kona Campus.  He leads a team of IT missionaries (CROWN Ministry) from different parts of the world for the support of the campus.  As you can imagine, there are never enough volunteers to perform the task needed to maintain the campus; however, God has always provided enough people to stay afloat.   The CROWN Ministry's main role is to support the technical infrastructure of the campus, train the community in IT, and reach the lost with technology.

2015 January, Chong Ho made his second trip to northern Iraq to meet with the key government leaders in the health industry.  This is an initiative that was started in 2014 September which NCFC was a part of medical relief for the refugees coming out of Mosul, Iraq during ISIS crisis.  

Chong Ho serves the University of the Nations, Kona as the Vice President and is part of the board of trustees (BOT) and is a member of the Advisory Board for the University of the Nations.  He will release the BOT position as soon as the campus is better stabilized.  His service on the board has expired its normal two "3 year term", but Loren Cunningham made an exception for thecontinuations as Chong Ho brings the history and the leadership perceptive that is still needed today.

Kris has been pioneering and leading the elementary and middle school for the campus staff children for the past 5 years.  She will be transitioning into a new phase as an overseerand an advisor to the ministry but will not actively be involved with day to day decision.  Kris will take a bible course from UofN while prayerfully consider her next steps in furthering her education.  She recognizes that furthering her education will better equip her to minister to broader audience.

On the home front, Megan is finishing up her third year at Pepperdine.  She plays club tennis at the school and recently traveled to NC to play at the national championship.  Her major is in advertisement with a minor in marketing.  Rachel will be graduating as a valedictorian from her high school this year and is currently considering which college to attend.  James is a sophomore in high school and enjoys playing soccer and tennis on the school team.  He is currently taking driver's ed. classes!

Prayer Requests:

1. Increase passion for the Lord for everyone in our family

2. Time of refreshment

3. Clear direction for Kris during her transition time

4. Increase in monthly support
