Caleb Mission Newsletter 💌 The Third Week of June

Hallelujah! I pray that the God of peace is always with you. Through your faithful prayers, several North Korean escapees have safely crossed the border and are now waiting to arrive at our Southeast Asia mission center. Your prayers and support are being used preciously to save lives and spread the gospel. Your dedication is laying the foundation for the gospel to reach all of North Korea, and we sincerely thank you for being used by God to save lives—lives more precious than the whole world.

We also have another testimony of thanksgiving to share. We were praying for a vehicle needed for ministry in the U.S., and we estimated it would require about 30 million KRW (approx. $22,000 USD). Amazingly, one supporter generously donated 10 million KRW (approx. $7,000 USD). Because of this faithful offering, we are once again able to move forward in faith and see how God is providing what we need. We trust that He will supply the remaining amount as well, and through that provision, the U.S. ministry will expand its reach and be used to rescue even more North Korean lives.

On a personal note, I also want to thank you. I recently suffered from severe neck pain that required treatment, but thanks to your prayers and support, I’ve received proper care and am recovering well. I am now preparing to return to the U.S. ministry work.

Meanwhile, the North Korean escapees’ community center in South Korea is thriving by God’s grace. Please continue to pray for those who are being discipled in God’s Word in Southeast Asia, that they would be raised up as leaders for missions to North Korea. And above all, we ask for your continued intercession for our sisters still in China, who are in urgent need of rescue.

Please also pray for our prison ministry. Some North Korean escapees, after settling in South Korea, have ended up in prison—sometimes due to ignorance of the law, other times due to mistakes or sins committed knowingly. Though they have escaped the large prison of North Korea, they now find themselves trapped in smaller prisons in South Korea, living their lives without knowing God. Through our prison ministry, we are sharing the love of Jesus Christ with them and praying that God's amazing love will reach their hearts. Although their lives began with hardship in North Korea, we earnestly hope that—even in prison—they will become people like Joseph, encountering God deeply. Let us continue to pray and share love with them together.

The wild ginseng we planted for the North Korean escapees’ community is also growing well! To welcome a guest who visited today, we dug up a few of the 500 ginseng roots planted seven years ago—and were amazed at how beautifully they’ve grown. Just like this ginseng, we pray that the community we are building together with North Korean escapees will bear good fruit—establishing God's kingdom and contributing to your health and joy as well.

Just as this ginseng brings physical healing, may the ministry we build together in love bring spiritual healing and become a joyful, healthy kingdom of God on this earth. As we prepare for the upcoming dedication service, we look forward to worshiping with you and send this message with thanksgiving. Thank you, and may God bless you.

With gratitude and hope,Pastor Seungeun Kim
