Now Available for Pre-Order!

9/18/2018

I'm excited to announce that my next book, Praying for Your Missionary is now available for pre-order at a discounted rate! I found out that the amount sold during pre-order is a key factor that major bookstores (like Barnes and Nobles) look at to determine if they will carry the book in their stores.

I'd love your support if you could:

1. Pre-order your copy now in the link below. And maybe buy one for yourself and one for your pastor/missions pastor/prayer leaders :)

2. Share this link and help spread the word.

3. Pray for God to use this book to increase prayers for missions and missionaries all over the world. May the increase in prayer lead to an increase in people knowing the name of Jesus, may all the people groups in the world know Him, may the return of Jesus happen soon, and may we all go home.

Thank you! :)

Urgent Prayer and Help Needed for Korean Orphans!

200,000 Signatures Needed by Feb 17!

200,000 signatures to make your voice heard at this government website by Feb 17 (KST) in support of adoption in Korea.

Korean Version

현재 한국에 거주하는 고아 아이들을 사랑하는 분들께 긴급하고 절박한 공고를 알려드립니다.

현재 남인순 의원에 의해 입양법 개정을 위한 법안이 발의 되었는데 거기에는 정부의 요보호 아동에 대한 책임과 관리에 대한 강화 부분이 명시되어 있지만 실질적으로는 많은 고아 아동들이 입양의 기회조차 잃어 버리고 시설 보호로 전락하지 않을까에 대한 우려가 되고 있습니다.

2014년 입양법 개정에서 성년 입양인들이 친부모를 찾게 하는 목적으로 친모의 호적에 아동을 올려야만 입양이 가능하게 한 법 개정으로 많은 아이들이 유기되거나 살해되는 안타까운 일들이 일어났고 그것은 법개정 전에 공청회를 통해 이런 우려의 의견을 피력하였으나 모두 받아들여지지 않았고 결과적으로는 힘없고 목소리 없는 아이들이 피해자가 되었습니다. 입양인들이 친부모를 찾는 것은 아동 단독 호주로 등록이 되더라도 친부모에 대한 정확한 신원확인과 관련서류를 받기 때문에 아무런 문제가 없었지만 입양 자체를 없애려는 목적을 가지고 이런 악법으로 개정하게 되어 결과적으로 수많은 아이들이 유기되어 친부모가 누군지도 모른채 시설에서 자랄 수 밖에 없는 결과를 가져오게 되었습니다.

이번 법 개정도 마찮가지로 표면적으로는 요보호 아동에 대한 정부의 책임을 강조하지만 우려되는 것은 그로 인해 또 다시 아이들이 가정에서 입양되어 사랑안에서 자라는 것 보다는 시설보호가 우선시 될 위험에 처해 있습니다.

이러한 법 개정안은 외국으로 입양되었다가 안타깝게도 잘못된 가정 교육과 학대를 받고 돌아온 몇몇의 성년 입양인들의 의견으로 시작되었습니다.

State of Grace: Scholarships of Hope for the Stateless

11/9/2017

0 Comments

Since 2011, HOPE Be Restored has been providing support and scholarships for stateless children in various parts of the world. Stateless children have no citizenship, no passport, and few, if any, options for education, medical aid, and jobs. In Thailand, for example, they are not given a legal means to work, except in the sex industry. As a result, many stateless children fall victim to sex traffickers who take advantage of their vulnerable situation. But one glimmer of hope is if they are able to graduate from a college or university, Thailand will give those students Thai citizenship. That opens up a whole new world of hope and opportunities for them and their families. We were able to support one of the first stateless students to graduate from a university in Thailand several years ago. And in South Korea, there are estimates of over 20,000 stateless children hidden in plain sight, without any government willing to help them.

HOPE Be Restored is committed to restoring hope and creating new futures for these precious souls.

DID YOU KNOW, that $1,000 can help a stateless student through one year of college in Thailand? And after just 4 years, that student will have a whole new world of opportunities opened up to them.

Would you prayerfully consider sponsoring a scholarship for these students during this coming Christmas season?

If you feel led, please give this season and give a new future to a child today:

Save My Seoul Wins Best Documentary at Film Festival

9/29/2017

Thank you for all who have prayed and supported Save My Seoul over these years. This film was a tool that God placed on my heart to make back in 2011 so that through it, it would bring about a cultural shift in Korea's understanding of sex trafficking and prostitution. Please continue to pray that God would use this as a means of changing hearts, attitudes, laws, and most of all, to bring an end to slavery in South Korea. I'm so blessed by the feedback we've gotten over the film and our editor recently sent me this photo of the recent award it won at a film festival for best documentary. All glory and thanks to God, our Great Abolitionist. If you haven't seen it yet, you can download the video through iTunes or Amazon video.

15 Year Anniversary of New Life in Sydney

7/18/2017

0 Comments

Thanks for your prayers. I had an amazing time in Sydney last weekend. New Life is a ministry I started 15 years ago, and as they celebrated that special anniversary, I was honored to be called back and hear the fruit of the gospel that had multiplied over the years. From those early days of when we first started, 11 of those former junior high kids and college kids are now in pastoral ministry, faithfully serving the Lord in Australia, Korea, and the US. Hundreds have been saved and so many have returned to the Lord over these years. Amazing. In some ways, I felt like I went off to college and came home to see old friends and family again. And as I was able to catch up with them, it gave me a taste of what heaven will be like - sharing what the Lord had done in our lives over the years, eating good food, visiting old favorite places that were familiar ... yet different, more developed and better than what I had remembered. Overall, it made me thankful again for the calling God had placed over my life. I love serving the Lord and seeing lives changed through the power of the gospel. Wouldn't trade my life's calling for anything else. Thank you for your prayers and thank You God for your grace. You are faithful. You are good. Always.
