Vision

As I grew with the Lord in college, my greatest yearning became to see His kingdom come and for all pain in the world to end (Revelation 21:4). My heart would break as I would pray for hurting friends and for lost nations. I felt then that the only hope was for Jesus to quickly return and put an end to sin. I began praying fervently for His return.

During this time God comforted me by revealing His great heart for humanity. I soon understood that Jesus will not return until every tribe, tongue, and nation has gotten a chance to receive the Gospel (Matthew 24:14). I understood that when I pray, “Your kingdom come, your will be done,” I am not just praying for Christ to return physically, I am praying for Him to reveal His kingdom through me. Jesus told His disciples to prepare the way for him and that as they would do God’s work they were to proclaim, “The kingdom of God is near you” (Matthew 10:7, Luke 10:9). Jesus already did the greatest act of love that we could ask for by dying for us and then resurrecting, thus overcoming sin and death. Now we are called to be His hands and His feet to the broken and lost of the world (Isaiah 61:1-3, John 13:34-35, Micah 6:8, Matthew 28:18-20).

I understood that the only way for me to “truly be living” would be for me to full out obey God’s will for my life (Matthew 6:10). I prayed fervently and fasted often throughout college, asking God to reveal His will for me. After graduating in 2005, God guided me to an orphanage (Geon Christian Children’s Home) in South Korea to live and serve as a full time volunteer in the home (please read my testimony on the next page). God has given me a long term vision of learning the language, learning to love the children as God loves them, recruiting and building a team of full time orphanage volunteers, and eventually going to North Korea and North China to build orphanages there. In the short term God has led me to start up an orphanage ministry for English speaking churches in Seoul. The ministry (Jerusalem Ministry, please read below for its history and vision) currently serves six orphanages in Seoul and is growing.

Through God leading my father and me in prayer, we formed Come Quickly Ministries. The ministry’s purpose is to help open the eyes of the church to the hurt in the world and the need for God’s work to be completed (Luke 10:2). While I am currently the only full time supported missionary in the ministry, Come Quickly has been sending support to missionaries and pastors in Indonesia, Philippines, and other parts of the world. Our hope is that the Church may rise up, fervently seek God’s will and prepare the way for His return.

I have lived and served in Geon Christian Children’s Home for two years now. I continue to pray for a prayer movement to be stirred in my home and for the children’s eyes to be opened to their loving Creator. God has granted me confidence by speaking clearly to my parents and to myself that I am following His will. There is nothing else I would rather be doing.

Matthew 24:14 – And this Gospel of the kingdom will be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come

Revelation 22:20-21 – He who testifies to these things says, ‘Yes, I am coming soon.’ Amen. Come, Lord Jesus. The grace of the Lord Jesus be with God’s people. Amen.

Matthew 6:10 – Your kingdom come, your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
