letter from: missionary paul kim
9/28/2009 vol 5.3, Project Kaolee
ONE YEAR INTO THE GREAT RECESSION, as some call it, we’re thankful for all of you that were able to keep supporting our ministries. We understand that a lot of people and churches had to be responsible and make adjustments in their budgets, but we’re also pleasantly surprised by a supporting church that actually increased their monthly financial support for us. We pray that you’re also enjoying God’s providence in your daily lives. I’m also glad that Sarah and the children are back from their visit to California over the summer.
SUMMER WAS FULL OF ACTIVITIES, as I ended up hosting four mission teams, and helping my dad host a 120-member international conference (G12) for two and a half weeks. The teams helped Chonburi Mission Center in many ways, and it was encouraging to see many individuals give up their time and money to serve in every way they can. I was also encouraged by their testimonies, and the good food we shared with their team budgets!
OLC (Outreach Language Center) is going strong, even while I remain as the sole English Bible study leader. The Thai professionals are proving to be very faithful to each other in this group, and people like Tu went ahead and decided to believe in Jesus without anyone directly challenging or inviting him to do so; he also helped himself to a church in his neighborhood. Pictured below is the OLC group with my family and Ms. Susie Lee with two of her friends who had come with a medical mission team. I’m actually praying for a partner who can teach with me; please let me know if God calls you.
PROJECT KAOLEE 2010 is something members of OLC are working on. Kaolee means Korea in Thai. The Thais are really interested in Korea and the Korean culture at this time. So, we’re planning a vision trip of sorts. They will save up for their own plane tickets; and we’re hoping for some help with food and lodging. About six people have shown interest for a one-week trip next fall. And half of the members are not believers. Please let us know if you would like to sponsor us in some way.
I’M PREPARING FOR A FOUR-DAY TRIP TO ISAAN (northeastern part of Thailand) this week. My father invited me to join him as he and his friends organize several training conferences for local pastors. Isaan is a poor part of Thailand, with bad weather, and frequent flooding. But the food is good, and their churches have been thriving in recent years. Please pray for safety and God’s presence for all of us. The month of October should be eventful, as we plan to attend a wedding of our Thai friend near the Cambodian border, as well as a couple of retreats.
Please consider being a sponsor for Project Kaolee 2010.
Please pray that:
1. God will lead us to focus our support on individual Thai leaders.
2. We will be more diligent in keeping in touch with our supporters.
3. Our children will have a positive learning experience through homeschooling.
In Christ,
Paul, with Sarah, Lydia and Timothy
