On the day of Pentecost, seven weeks after the resurrection of Jesus, Holy Spirit was poured out upon those followers of Jesus who had gathered together in Jerusalem. What happened on the first Pentecost continues to happen to Christians throughout the world today, though usually not in such a dramatic fashion. However, as we approach the end of an age, we are seeing and hearing more and more outpourings! According to Acts 2, when the day of Pentecost came, they were all together in one place. Suddenly a sound like the blowing of a violent wind came from heaven and filled the whole house where they were sitting. They saw what seemed to be tongues of fire that separated and came to rest on each of them. All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues as the Spirit enabled them.

"I baptize you with water for repentance. But after me will come one who is more powerful than I, whose sandals I am not fit to carry. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and with fire." Matt 3:11

Several years ago, I was teaching at the University of the Nations in Kona, Hawaii.  Jan was with me and one night while we were walking the beach, I heard the still small voice of the Lord speak to me.  "I am closing the door to Hawaii and opening the doors to Korea!"  I shared this with Jan, who was sure I hadn't heard correctly (lol), however within 1/2 hour we were back at the base in time to hear at knock at our door.   A young Korean woman stood there and delivered a message that we clearly understood, "I would like to invite you to Korea to teach!"

It wasn't until I began itinerating that I became aware of how many couples are unable to have children of their own.   Many of these couples have been trying for years, and some have become settled in their hearts and are now the happy parents of adopted children.

Asia – a great place to see healings and be healed!  I left for China and S. Korea emotionally and physically drained and wondering if my decision to go was a wise one.  Sadly, we had just buried my father and I found myself not only grieving but also battling severe vertigo.  The 12 hour flight to Beijing allowed me uninterrupted time to reflect on the life and loss of my earthly father, and also pray for stamina to handle the hectic schedule of the next three weeks! How could I have forgotten that His strength is made perfect in my weakness? But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me.  The New International Version. 2011 (2 Co 12:9)

"And let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works: Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching." (Hebrews 10:25) Over the past seven years, I have had the privilege of ministering in many cities in S. Korea; in traditional Churches, at YWAM bases, in coffee shops, restaurants and Retreat Centres, but more recently I have had several invitations to visit ‘house churches’.  And the first three days of this trip were spent enjoying the Presence of Holy Spirit and one another in the house church setting. It is in these more intimate settings that we have the time and opportunity to listen to one another, to ask hard questions and to share more deeply.

June, 2011  My flights to South Korea have now become very routine to me, and as familiar as driving from Kelowna to Penticton!    I know the names of the Captains and the flight attendants and the seating arrangements and flight schedules by memory.  I know that if I choose a seat by an exit door to accommodate my height, I will be very cold, but on the upside I will have room to fully extend my legs.

When most Western Christians think of the Christian community in South Korea they immediately remember the name David Yonggi Cho, so well known for being the founding Pastor of Yoido Full Gospel Church in Seoul which is approximately made up of 800,000 thousand members. As well the reputation of many large churches ranging in size from 10,000 to 80,000 thousand members is now an integral part of the South Korean landscape. Of course the “Prayer Mountain” model is also well known in South Korea and continues to this day, as busloads of Koreans make a trek of prayer and fasting up to the Prayer Mountain locations on a regular basis interceding for their country.

Six years ago, I heard the Lord speak to me about S. Korea. (see details under prophecy) I understood that He would open some doors for me to minister there, but I wasn’t expecting that He would provide me with such competent translators, new friendships, an understanding and love of the culture, a digestive system that would thrive with Korean food, and so many people who would look out for my well-being!

"We are forgotten people" said the people at the Kenya and Ethiopian borders.  This was a cry from people who had to leave their families because of severe drought and wars.  This is the very reason we have gathered; to help the victims, facing death due to natural and human-made disasters.  For the past ten years, we have devoted our lives to pass on unconditional love to a suffering world.  But even at this moment, a quarter of the world population still lives in despair.  Someone has to go and share hope with them.  As long as hope can be risen in their souls and spirits, shared love itself is the very power that transforms their despair to hope.....President Lee Yong Ju, Team & Team International

Seoul Korea –Gang-Nam & Bun-Dang BEDTS-Evening School Eric Liddel (1902 – 1945) was a Scottish athlete, rugby union internal and missionary. He was the winner of the Men’s 400 metres at the 1924 summer Olympics held in Paris. He was portrayed in the film, Chariots of Fire. Born in China, Eric returned there as a missionary in later life. “I believe God made me for a purpose, but he also made me fast. And when I run I feel His pleasure.” Quoting Eric Liddell (Chariots of Fire) I believe God also made you and me for a purpose. Healed from terminal illness in the prime of my life, I love to share my testimony of how Jesus healed me and I love to pray for the sick to be healed. And when I pray for healing, I feel His pleasure!

I boarded the very familiar noon flight to Seoul on February 24th, well rested after a short holiday in Mexico. The twelve hour flight affords a lot of uninterrupted time to pray and ask for words of encouragement and wisdom for the Korean Churches. Over the last five years of ministry in the nation, I have come to expect the unexpected in all things – venue, schedule, itinerary, food, accommodation but most of all, how Holy Spirit will manifest the works of Jesus. This trip was no exception.

Priscilla Power The Priscilla School is a wonderful school of intercession led by Mrs. Min, a powerful woman of God, who has been leading the group for many years. At Mrs. Min’s request, I was invited to offer a series of meetings focused on breaking free from the bondages of life (Beyond Freedom) that we can so easily accumulate. Over a three day period I had the privilege of ministering to a group of approximately 80 people and we saw the Lord touch many people with deliverance and emotional healing. Many felt encouraged and free from a variety of problems while physical healings happened in a spontaneous fashion as bondages were being released.

This was my second visit to Daejeon, the fifth largest city of South Korea. Located in the centre of the nation, it is a gateway to three southern Provinces as well as a transportation hub in South Korea. As a city of science and technology, Daejeon is home to Daedeok Science Town, one of the highest-ranking science towns in Asia. The city is also home to Daedeok Valley, or “the Silicon Valley of Korea.”
