secondly, my letter....
Dear Supporters,
I apologize for having to write an impersonal and an
undetailed letter to all of you. In another couple of weeks, I hope to be able
to send out an update letter with some details about how God has been working
in the Middle East. To those of you who
haven’t even received a support letter, I thank you for your interest and your
support. This letter is rushed, but is necessary because of what has happened
to my plans. Here is a quick breakdown of my current itinerary.
May 25th, 11:20am (MST) – Depart from DEN (Denver Airport)
May 26th, 5:45pm (Jordan Time) – Arrive in Amman, Jordan
June 4th, 12:00pm (Jordan Time) – Depart from Amman
June 4th, 1:00pm (Lebanon
Time) – Arrive in Beirut, Lebanon
June 12th, 8:45am (Lebanon
Time) – Depart from Beirut
June 12th, 9:35am (Jordan Time) – Arrive in Amman
June 13th, 11:30am (Jordan Time) – Depart from Amman
June 13th, 9:29pm (MST) – Arrive in DEN
Because of the situation in Lebanon,
my main project trip has been changed to the Jordan trip, which begins Friday,
May 25th. This trip will focus on construction management and will
last approximately four days. It is a joint project with Habitat for Humanity.
Currently, the Lebanon
trip is on hold and may or may not be cancelled. The final decision will be made
on Monday, May 28th. If the decision is made to cancel the trip, I
will spend the rest of the time in Cairo, Egypt with two of the team leaders from the Lebanon trip on
a vision casting mission. If the decision is made to go ahead with the Lebanon trip, then
the original project at the youth summer camp site will proceed as planned. Regardless, I will return to Colorado Springs on June 13th to
finish my internship.
Because of this schedule change, my project cost has
increased by $560. If you would like to support me financially, please
prayerfully contribute through one of two ways. You may send a check written
out to “engineering Ministries international” to 130 E Kiowa Street Suite 200, Colorado
Springs, CO 80903 or you may donate online at
< https://secure.emiusa.org/donate.html
> and designate it to Irwin Kim.
Please keep me in your prayers. Among your prayers, please
pray for:
1. God’s movement in the Middle East
2. God’s protection over the team and over the ministry
3. God’s spirit of unity among the team members
4. God’s teaching to team and the nationals
5. God’s comfort amidst all the changes being made
Here are the team’s prayer requests
1. That the Lord would glorify Himself in this conflict and
others would come to know him through this opportunity – “You intended to harm
me, but God intended it for good to accomplish what is now being done, the
saving of many lives.” ~ Gen 50:20
2. For those who are directly being affected now; the families
of those who have died. This refugee
camp contains the poorest in Lebanon.
3. For unity and effective ministry among the Christian
workers to share the love of Christ.
4. The Kchag Center and their leadership
5. For the Lord’s leading and discernment for our project
trip in two weeks.
Thank you all so much.
Irwin
