Aun yeong hase yo!
Susaday!
Hello from the
Multinational Advance Team in Korean and Khmer! We are beyond excited for the
opportunity to do ministry in two different countries this summer.
The beginning of our
trip is being spent in South Korea having orientation with our 3 Korean
teammates and teaching ESL to refugees. On July 1st, we will
travel to and spend the remainder of our time in Cambodia doing children's
ministry, campus evangelism, and continuing to teach ESL as a means to share
the Gospel.
We are excited to
introduce to you our team, so you can know a little about the individuals you
are reading about and praying for a little better! In total we are a team of 6:
3 Tennesseans and 3 South Koreans!
I am Kara, the team
leader, and call Huntingdon, TN home. I am a Junior studying Social Work at
Austin Peay State University. I love traveling, "crafting", my grandmother's homemade rolls,
and any Disney movie! My favorite verse is Philippians 1:6, and I am most
excited about being able to share the Good News alongside others from a
different culture.
Next up is Jadyn!
Jadyn is from Chattanooga, TN. She is majoring in Spanish and minoring in
Education at University of Tennessee @ Chattanooga. Her favorites include playing piano and
guitar, blueberries, and "A Walk to Remember". Phil. 1:20-21 are her
favorite verses, and she is most excited about building relationships with our
Korean teammates.
Third on our team is
Garrett! He calls Johnson City, TN. home and is studying Economics at East Tennessee State University.
Garrett is a fan of hunting, fishing, steak ("he would be a carnivore
before being a vegetarian"), and "Hacksaw Ridge". Hebrews 4:12
is his favorite verse, and he is most excited about sharing the Gospel with
unreached people groups.
Next up is Gwanjung!
Gwanjung is 37 and has his Masters of Divinity from Korea Baptist Seminary. He
has been our tour guide as we navigate Korea (so thankful for him!)
5th is Dasia! Dasol
is majoring in dance at Seoul Christian University! She is 21 years old and
will be teaching dance as part of our ministry in Cambodia. She is still
finishing up her semester, so please pray for her to finish strong!
Last but not least is
Gwanun! Gwanun is 19 and studying Social Welfare. He
just finished his first semester of college and enjoys
"gaming".
We ask that you
please pray for team unity, easy communication between our team as we work on
our Korean and they work on their English, safe travels to our second country,
for us to be bold, fearless, and full of the Holy Spirit as we share the truth
with unbelievers, and specifically for open ears and hearts to the Gospel
message!
