Vision – October 2007
From the Pastor’s Desk
This month over 30 PCUSA missionaries will be visiting churches and presbyteries all over the country. Together they have 622 years of experience serving the church in all parts of the world. They serve in Korea, Mexico, Hungary, Northern Ireland, Cameroon, Pakistan, Thailand, Costa Rica, Guatemala, Bolivia, Egypt, Peru, Malawi, Nepal, Germany, China, South Africa, Zambia and Lebanon. Their ministries include education, evangelism, health, development and peacemaking. Sue Kinsler, PCUSA Missionary to North Korea, will be visiting Eagle Rock Presbyterian Church on Monday October 22 at 7:30
Sue and Art Kinsler have been working with the Presbyterian Church of Korea since 1972 as evangelists. They have established new churches in rural areas of Korea as well as in new factory towns. Since 2003 Sue has begin working in North Korea through the Lighthouse Foundation providing soybean milk and bread to young children. Sue has also established medical facilities for the disabled in Pyongyang, North Korea with the Potonggang Welfare Center for the Disabled.
On her most recent trip to North Korea, in August, she delivered food, medicine, and towels for victims of the recent floods which damaged the Potonggang sheltered workshop. She also arranged for several tons of wheat to be delivered to her bakery and milk factory. She is currently arranging for 1004 wheel chairs to be delivered to North Korea. The number 1004 has special significance in Korea because it is pronounced “chun sa” which means “angel”. “This shows that the peace and reunification of the South and North is coming in our hearts,” said Sue. “By our love and sharing of God’s blessings there is power!”
Please join us on October 22 at 7:30 to welcome this important guest.
Blessings,
Jeff Howard, Pastor
