Dear TEAM,

On Wednesday, group 1 will be meeting at Terminal 3 at 11am.

If you still require a ride to the airport, PLEASE respond to Pastor James Kwon.

If you are there first, please go in an find a common area by the Continental kiosks.

James Lee Jr., and Carolyn Bahk will be leading this group so please listen to them, stay together and remain focused. Let’s start strong.

Pastor James, will be leading group 2. He will remind you of when and where to meet.

Please do not forget your passports, your immunization card that shows proof of your yellow fever shot and your itinerary. You will also be receiving a photocopy of your Mali visa from James Lee Jr. Do not misplace any of the aforementioned items! Also, please bring with you your “pre-departure questionnaires”!

That being said..

I thank God for all of you. I really do. I’m so thankful that we have all committed and responded to the calling that has been placed before each of us. I’m so grateful to God for his provision. Not only in finances, but especially with people. People like Richard, Ron, Summer, and all those who have contributed so much of their time and ceaseless effort.

Many of us have already begun to experience a spiritual change in our lives. Perhaps you’ve noticed that the “weak spots” in your character have been challenged, or that you’ve become more sensitive to the Holy Spirit and other spiritual matters. It is, indeed, and definitely will be a challenging chapter in our spiritual walks. I pray for all of us that as we experience this chapter together, that the Holy Spirit will bring us together to do His work. In fact, let’s LET the Spirit accomplish His will through us! Let’s grow. Let’s be stretched. Let’s be challenged. And let us overcome in HIS NAME!!

Let’s be a team that will also surrender our tongues to God. I have sincerely prayed for wisdom in this matter. That everything we say to one another is edifying and encouraging. And if a time comes to correct one another, that we will not hesitate to do so in an appropriate manner with a gentle and prayerful heart, Amen?! Let’s rise up with integrity. With all the frustrations that may build up, all the potential annoyances, and all other distractions, let’s rise above that! Let’s be a team that prays our hearts out and learns to love and forgive one another in Jesus name. Are you up for this? Are you willing to humble yourself in order to serve God and one another? I know you are. I believe in all of you.

You’re a miracle looking for a place to happen. You’re a testimony looking for a place to be delivered. You have got all kinds of things locked up inside of you that are about to come forth for such a time as this…

Let’s rise up and claim the victory Christ has already won.

With love,

Samuel Pyo
