Kentucky WMU began a partnership with Korea Baptist WMU in 2003. Please join us in prayer for the following requests. from KBWMU.
House of Love
Thanks to God’s grace, the House of Love (retirement home for pastors and missionaries being built by Korea Baptist WMU) is almost finished. KBWMU is expecting completion by the middle of November. They write: “We have experienced how God provides what we need moment by moment. We are still depending on Him because He is the ONLY one we can trust and fill our need with his abundant grace. Praise Him for how generous and considerate He is.”
Please pray for Kyung Ae Woo, president of the House of Love Committee. A few weeks ago she fell and she is still in hospital after surgery. She is very concerned about completion of the House of Love in her absence. Pray that God would heal Kyung Ae Woo completely as soon as possible without any after effect.
Please pray that God would fill KBWMU abundantly with what is needed financially and provide safety for all workers until completion of the House of Love.
Pray that God will guide KBWMU as they we develop the House of Love guidelines and regulations for residents
Missions Education
Soonshil Back, who attended Southern Baptist Theological Seminary in Louisville and worked with Kentucky WMU for several months, has been named Associate Executive Director for KBWMU. Soonshil is also teaching missions education at Daejeon seminary. It is now in the middle of semester. She writes, “At first time I was a little nervous but now I am comfortable to be in front of the students. I am the one who learned most in this semester because I studied most among them. I now am sure that teaching is the best way to learn.” Soonshil asks that Kentucky WMU pray “That students in missions education class, including me, would know more deeply the heart of God the Father for the lost, and embrace this with their heart, and grow with missional lifestyle.”
Please pray for Soonshil and her responsibilities with KBWMU. Pray for all of the KBWMU staff, including their executive director Sook Jae Lee, who also serves as President of the Asian Baptist Women’s Union.
KBWMU has sponsored missions camps for children for a number of years and wrote us that “We have decided to cancel our missions camp this coming January because of swine influenza. We are planning this period time to evaluate the last camps for ten years and to develop it for the future.” Please pray for KBWMU staff and leaders as they evaluate and make plans for the future.
North Korea
Winter is coming. People in NK are still in need of food. Proper discussions and decisions for nuclear experimental issues are needed.
Pray for the food and freedom needed in North Korea.
Pray that the children in North Korea may grow healthy with enough food.
Pray for President Kim Jung Il and other political leaders to make right decisions for world peace and for the sake of people in Korea.
