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

In just two days, we will celebrate 20 years since Caleb Mission was officially established and 27 years since this ministry first began. Over the years, God has enabled us to rescue 1,072 North Korean escapees, and even now, four more are in the process of being rescued. As we look back, we can truly say that God has faithfully led us every step of the way. He has indeed been our Ebenezer—our faithful Helper until now.

Ministry to North Korean escapees has involved many dangers, challenges, and hardships. Yet through your prayers and faithful partnership, lives have been rescued, the gospel has been shared, and many have been able to come to South Korea and begin new lives.

One of my greatest joys came just last week when I preached at Hanawon, South Korea’s resettlement center for North Korean escapees, on the graduation day of several women Caleb Mission had helped rescue. That Sunday, they came to Cheonan Seopyeong Church and worshiped with us.

As I watched them worship with tears in their eyes, giving glory and thanks to God, I was deeply moved. It reminded me once again that every life rescued and every seed of the gospel planted has been possible only by the grace of God.

On August 20, many guests will join us to celebrate this special anniversary, including former denominational leaders, North Korean escapees who have appeared on well-known South Korean television programs, North Korean escapee performers, leaders of North Korean escapee organizations, and pastors whom God has called into ministry for North Korea. The entire family whose rescue journey was featured in Beyond Utopia will also be joining us.

Please pray that this gathering will be a joyful celebration of God’s faithfulness and grace. 

Please also pray that God will continue to lead this ministry's future, raise up the next generation to carry this mission forward, and, one day, fully open North Korea to the gospel.

Above all, we pray that through everything God has accomplished over these 27 years, all glory will be given to Him alone. Thank you for your prayers, partnership, and faithful support. May God bless you.

Indebted to love,

Pastor Seungeun Kim
