Chestnuts are beginning to fall around Caleb Mission’s center for North Korean escapees, reminding us how quickly time passes. As we enter this season of harvest, I pray that we will finish this year well and see abundant fruit in our lives and ministries. Last week, I traveled to the Philippines as the moderator of the Gyeonggi East Presbytery to prepare for

Hallelujah! I pray that the God of peace will be with each of you. I am currently in the Philippines. Isn’t it God’s will that we reach the nations with the gospel? Although Caleb Mission’s primary focus is serving and rescuing North Korean escapees, the Philippines has a special connection to Korea. During the Korean War, the Philippines was one of the nations that came to South Korea’s aid, sending troops who fought and sacrificed alongside the Korean people. This program i

At our Gospel Center in Southeast Asia, escapees receive three months of Bible study, care, and discipleship training before continuing their journey. When we see them growing in f

Hallelujah! I pray that the God of peace will be with each of you. As the first week of July begins, the summer heat and seasonal rains are arriving as well. I pray that you and your families will stay healthy and well during this season. This past June, seven North Korean refugee sisters were baptized at our Gospel Center in Southeast Asia.

Hallelujah! I pray that the peace of God is with you. As summer begins, I want to thank you for your continued prayers for North Korean rescue and Gospel ministry. June is a month of remembrance in Korea. We remember the Korean War and honor those who sacrificed their lives for the freedom we enjoy today. During my recent trip to the United States, I had the opportunity to pay my respects to veterans who served during the Korean War. Though it was a small gesture, I wanted t

Praise God! By His grace and through your faithful prayers, I safely returned to Korea after completing my ministry trip to the United States. Soon after arriving, I met a North Korean escapee woman whose story deeply moved me. During North Korea's famine in the 1990s, she lost twelve family members to starvation, including her parents, siblings, husband, and children. Thirty years ago, she escaped to China with her younger brother and sister—among the only surviving members

On Saturday, May 23, we will have a screening of the film Beyond Utopia, followed by a worship service at Hebron Church in Chicago.

Hallelujah. I pray that the God of peace would be with you. A group of 25 pastors has now returned safely to Korea after spending a meaningful and grace-filled time in the United States. During their visit, they traveled to seminaries and churches, learning about the Puritan heritage and following the footsteps of past revivals. All of this was made possible through your prayers, and we are truly grateful. Today, I am in Kentucky to lead the 33rd anniversary service at New Li
