Dancing in the Minefields by Andrew Peterson

"This is harder than we dreamed, but I believe that's what the promise is for." A great song celebrating the covenant of marriage :)

The Fight Begins with Fasting and Prayer

Exodus Cry: The Call to Battle from Exodus Cry on Vimeo.

If we (the Church) are not the preeminent leaders in the fight for justice and in the showing of mercy for the weak, then we are allowing the world to look more like Jesus than we do.

Family Legacy

Visited my cool grandfather today (on Lunar New Year 2011). A mighty man of God. As an elder (not a pastor - though that was his dream, but because of the Korean War, he had to stop seminary) he planted many churches throughout Korea, is still on the board of directors for many universities, high schools, and hospitals, and raised up 7 children who serve the Lord faithfully to this day. A true hero of the faith. 

 His prayer was always that God would raise up a pastor in our family. I am the first. I am a product of his prayers, and I thank God for his prayers.

Stop the Super Bowl Traffick

This Sunday is Super Bowl Sunday. The Super Bowl is one of the biggest gatherings for sports fans in the world, but the city that hosts the biggest game of the year is also the place where the largest amount of human and child trafficking happens in the US. The Super Bowl is a magnet for human trafficking each year.

To help raise awareness of the evils of trafficking, Traffick911 will be hosting a Tailgate Party on Saturday February 5 in Dallas (the host city of this years Super Bowl). If you or someone you know is attending the Super Bowl this year, I encourage you to celebrate with a purpose by stopping by this event which will have some great speakers, musicians and activities.

And for everyone else outside of Dallas, let's pray for protection for all the women and children who are being enslaved for the purpose of trafficking. And when the commercials come on, let's lift up a prayer asking for their freedom and for God to bring justice to the oppressors. Instead of just praying for your favorite team to win, let's pray for the true underdogs to win - the silent voices of the women and children in need of our help. Let's pray for Team Justice to win this Super Bowl Sunday. Let's put an end to the Super Bowl traffick.

Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas to all! May all the nations know the reason for this miraculous season. Praying for peace on earth.

Places to Give This Christmas

Onnuri English Ministry (OEM) is seeking to change how we give during Christmas. Instead of spending a lot of money on things we don't need to get gifts for people who don't need them, we'd love to see the Church begin giving generously to those in need. I would love to see a revolution in the Church today concerning the way we give and care for those in need - being Christ to them. Here are just a few places you can give this Christmas that will make a difference in the lives of many:

1. Not for Sale (A group dedicated to ending modern day slavery and human trafficking).  There are more than 30 million people who are enslaved today (most of them are young women and children). Help bring freedom to someone today.

2. Barnabas Trading in Partnership with World Vision. $10 will help give warm boots to a child in Mongolia while at the same time, help provide a job to someone in North Korea. A great way to help two countries in need and a great way to help get your children involved in helping the lives of other children around the world.

3. Voice of Martyrs (Serving the Persecuted Church). Giving to Voice of Martyrs will help bring much needed aid and support for believers who are undergoing great suffering and persecution for their faith.

4. Compassion International (Releasing children from poverty, in Jesus name). A well respected children's ministry serving the poor and helping to restore hopes, dreams and a brighter future for youth around the world.

5. Christian Alliance of Orphans. This ministry serves orphans and helps with adoption and foster care around the world. A more than worthy cause to invest into.   

Let's change how we give during the Christmas season and help bring about a change in the life of someone today. It's time for a revolution in the Church today and that revolution begins with you.
