YWAM 원종호 / 남현 선교사 소식 (10-21-13)
Dear Friends,
It's already autumn for many of you and probably enjoying the crisp weather and warm drinks. :) Oh how I miss those days. Fall is my favorite season of the year! I so longed to be in Maryland when Chong Ho last visited in August/September but because it fell on the time when our school began, I wasn't able to get away from my responsibilities. If the Lord wills, our whole family hope to visit Maryland someday as it has been over 3 years since our last visit as a family.
We want to give you a quick update and some prayer points so you can pray for us as Chong Ho and I (along with some of the IT staff) will travel to Korea in November.
Last year, Loren Cunningham received a word from the Lord that there would be 10,000 IT missionaries that would come from Korea and 1,000 of them would be full time missionaries. Since then, this year, Loren has traveled to Korea numerous times but 3 times specifically to call out the IT missionaries. Chong Ho has had the opportunity to join Loren on these tours and spoke to thousands of people on the next movement of God through IT.
Going back a little further, in March of 2009, before the first Korea tour we joined with Loren, I received a promise from God that there would be an inheritance for us in Korea and that although our trip to Korea at that time would be under the radar (not be recognized by people) but that there would come a time when we would have a presence in Korea.
As I reflect on these words, I am at awe of how things have unfolded over the last 4 years. We have made several trips since 2009 and God has been giving Chong Ho more influence in Korea YWAM. It is beyond our abilities but truly God's directive move.
Now in coming November, there will be a Christian IT conference, a first of its kind for YWAM and Chong Ho will be leading a part of the conference. This will give a platform for like minded Christian IT professionals to gather to synergize for completing the task of the Great Commission through technology. It will be a history making time. As it is an important event for YWAM and for IT, we felt that we needed to experience this together. We feel that this is one part of the "inheritance" God has for us as a family.
We would like for you, our supporters, to pray with us and for us as we make this journey into claiming what belongs to God.
Prayer Points:
1. God directed & God sized synergy would happen through this conference
2. Courageous Christian IT professionals would hear the calling into missions and obey
3. CH and I would receive and see all that God has for us through this trip
4. Unity and safety of the team (IT staff from Kona will be joining the conference)
5. Protection over the promise for 10,000 IT missionaries
