🇺🇸As We Celebrate Freedom: A Call to Pray for Those Still in Chains🕊️Caleb Mission Newsletter 💌 The Fourth Week of June

Hallelujah! I pray that the God of peace will be with you.

You are receiving this letter on July 4th—Independence Day in the United States. As Americans celebrate the gift of freedom today, we are reminded of the countless others around the world who are still longing for liberty. In particular, we remember the people of North Korea who remain oppressed and those who are risking everything to escape and find true freedom.

Just as freedom is never free—having been purchased by sacrifice—we continue to press on in this mission to rescue and restore those still in darkness, believing that God will continue to use us as His hands and feet.

By God’s grace, summer is now in full swing. Today, as the monsoon season nears its end, rain is falling once again. Just as this rain brings new life to the earth, I earnestly pray that our ministry to North Korean escapees will also experience a revival. May the living water of God’s Word—like this rain—refresh and restore every part of the ministry that He is accomplishing through Caleb Mission.

June was a month of remembrance and honor for those who sacrificed during the Korean War. As we reflect on the tragedy of the 6.25 War, we also remember those who laid down their lives for this nation. It is upon their sacrifice that today’s freedom has been built.

Now, as we step into July, I humbly ask for your continued prayers and partnership. A few weeks ago, Caleb Mission successfully rescued four more North Korean escapees, bringing the total to 1,048. However, our financial resources have nearly run dry. We ask for your prayers that God would anoint this work afresh and provide the resources needed to rescue many more souls in the days ahead.

In addition, I have been invited to speak in the United States and will be traveling there in about a month and a half. Even though they are Americans, the brothers and sisters in Christ there are praying with us and working alongside us to support the rescue of North Korean escapees. Please pray that the remaining needs—such as the provision of a vehicle—will be met, and that every part of the schedule would align with God's perfect will.

Though it may be rainy and overcast outside, this rain gives me strength and hope. I pray that you, too, would be encouraged and strengthened by God’s grace. May His abundant peace and blessings overflow in your homes and in every area of your life.

Thank you so much. With gratitude and hope,

Pastor Seungeun Kim

1. Heavenly Father, please pour out Your mercy and grace like refreshing rain upon the North Korean escapees who are suffering in hiding in China, and open a way for their safe rescue.

2. God bless our ministry partners and supporters who faithfully serve through prayer and giving. May their lives be filled with Your peace, provision, and eternal reward.

3. God, please grant saving grace to the North Korean escapees who were recently rescued and are now studying the Bible at our Southeast Asia Center. May they come to know Jesus Christ as their personal Lord and Savior.

4. God, open doors for every financial need to be met—for the purchase of a vehicle for the U.S. tour, for the gospel ministry at the Southeast Asia Center, and for the continued rescue efforts.

In Jesus' Name,

Amen
