Help North Korean Children and Believers In Jesus Christ

Saints,

This is a wonderful way to help our North Korean brothers and sisters in the Lord.

--

Dear Gregory,

Mrs. Jung has escaped twice from North Korea into China. She was captured both times, however, by secret police in China and returned to North Korea, where she has spent months suffering in prison camps for her "crime."

During Mrs. Jung's first escape she met Wing, a Chinese-Korean man, who offered her shelter in his apartment. In that arrangement, one thing led to another, and Mrs. Jung found herself in love and then pregnant.

Four months into her pregnancy, however, Mrs. Jung was discovered and turned over to North Korean authorities. She and her unborn child managed to survive three brutal months in prison, and she was released with the warning of a more severe punishment if she attempted to defect again.

Approaching full-term, however, Mrs. Jung knew that she had to return to China---her child's future depended upon it. Her daring effort was successful, and she was reunited with her lover. Their baby, whom they named Gil, was born just days later.

When Gil was 2 years old, however, Mrs. Jung was again discovered by Chinese police and deported to North Korea---but without her son. And this time, North Korean authorities kept their promise of more severe punishment. Released years later, she has since been kept under tight surveillance, making future escapes very difficult.

Gil, now 13, still lives in China with his father, Wing. He has not seen his mother since her deportation. Wing has recently contacted some of our partners who serve along the North Korean border, and they have agreed to include Mrs. Jung in a food aid distribution network that is funded in part through gifts to our North Korean Christians Fund. They've also smuggled an illegal cell phone to her so that the family can communicate on a limited basis.

Although life is hard for Mrs. Jung, she is receiving food aid, and she has certainly been exposed to the gospel through her contact with the believers in our food aid network, although we don't know if she has responded yet in repentance and faith. Please pray for her!

Hoping with Mrs. Jung,

Elisabeth Servant
Director, North Korean Christians Fund

MP3 Sermon: A Call to Those Who Care About the Honor of God by Carter Conlon

 A Call to Those Who Care About the Honor of God by Carter Conlon

Topic: Honor Of God
Scripture(s): Nehemiah 1:1-11  
Description: October 4, 2009 - There is a spiritual wall that separates those who are truly serving God and those who are bringing carnality into His church. If God is going to be honored in this generation we must begin to rebuild the testimony of Christ in our lives. You may ask yourself how does this happen? How do I begin to rebuild this wall? The first thing we do is apply the truth of God's Word to every area of our life where we are not in agreement with Him. Secondly, we must remove the rubble in our homes that has blocked the door to the prayer closet. Lastly, call our children by example into the work of God. Suddenly there will be a people arise and begin to build according the ways of God and they will do it all for His honor!

Free eBook - Principles For The Gathering Of Believers

Saints,

I am excited to announce we are getting much closer to releasing the free eBook resource: "Principles For The Gathering of Believers Under the headship of Jesus Christ". This book I am compiling has come from a deep burden to see believers gathering together to edify and encourage each other. Many elder brothers have been giving wonderful feedback, input and contributions. I believe in many ways this book is an effort from the body of Christ and not just one person.

Please as the Lord leads you do be in prayer for myself and others as we edit and work on the final stages of the book.

Excerpt:
THIS VOLUME HAS BEEN developed out of a burden to see vital gatherings of God's people (the body of Christ) established in these end times. The time of pressure and persecution that is coming world-wide (Matthew 24:9) will be such that it will demand the unity of the true body of Christ. 

Some specific goals for this book being written are:
1.) To assist true Bible believing churches to develop House Bible studies for personal growth and for inviting neighbors, to make disciples;
2.) To encourage true believers to leave churches that no longer teach the whole Word of God, to then join a true Bible believing church or to establish a House church to make disciples.

THE CHRISTIAN AND WORLDLINESS by Ray Stedman

THE CHRISTIAN AND WORLDLINESS

by Ray C. Stedman

What does Christian separation mean? Your effectiveness as a Christian hangs on your concept of what separation means. Perhaps most of our personal and church problems would be solved if we had a biblical concept of what it really is.

This question of separation has been a bone of contention among Christians for many, many years. Though I believe that the Scriptures are very clear on the matter, still I am sure that we will not solve all the problems in this article. But we do want to take a good look at the subject.

You won't read very far in the New Testament without becoming aware of some very pointed warnings to Christians concerning their danger from the world around them. Second Corinthians 6:14 is a very well known passage. "Be not unequally yoked together with unbelievers...and I will receive you, and will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty."
These words, "come out from among them, and be ye separate" have been nailed to the masthead of many denominations and church groups as the supremely important idea that Christians should heed in these days.

Then we have that very strong passage in I John 2:15-17, "Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world...For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world. And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof, but he that doeth the will of God abideth forever."

James comes out with probably the strongest word of all along this line for he says very flatly and plainly, "...know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? Whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is an enemy of God."

Christians have rightly taken these passages very seriously. They have recognized that the Lord would not speak so plainly if there was not something serious involved. They've remembered the sad words of Paul concerning one of the young men who traveled with him: "...Demas hath forsaken me, having loved this present world." Christians have often had reason to see that a worldly Christian is a useless Christian. He is of no value to the world and no good to God. No man can serve two masters!

So Christians, as a result of these warnings, have through the centuries drawn up lists of things they considered worldly. Naturally, their ideas have differed widely on these matters. Whenever people had difficulty with some temptation or some particular type of recreation or some activity which gave them trouble, they learned a lesson from it, or thought they did, and marked that particular thing down as worldly.

Coming Persecution And The Baptism Of The Holy Spirit by Brian Long

Saints,

Brian Long passionately shares on the vital subject of coming persecution to the Church in North America. From the book of Habbukuk he shares how the prophet struggled with coming judgment in his day and we must accept the same in our day. He also gives the solution of the great truth of the true baptism of the Holy Spirit for to reach the lost world and make disciples. This message is needful to be heard by the whole Church in this hour.
