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
