Today was fun at VOM. We worked on the next newsletter, this coming month is on North Korea. If you sign up for the free newsletter you'll receive what we were packaging all day. Everybody will get the newsletter, plus a free booklet about North Korea, including a sample sheet of the gospel in Korean. The sample is of what VOM's gospel message is sending in to North Korean borders via helium balloons!
I talked to a couple that drove here from Atlanta to stay and volunteer for 4 months. Another 14 year old boy was helping us who RV'd up from TX with his family. There were also a bus-load of teen agers from a Cornerstone Church that drove down from Wichita. Also, Chong the amazing lightning speed volunteer helped out with this VOM project.
I asked Chong about S. Korea's revival. I was fascinated to learn that there is a mountain where people are there 24/7 praying. From a distance there are so many people praying that it sounds like an ocean. That blew my mind. The Koreans love God so much!
I was talking to the couple from Atlanta, and they are Christians that are on fire, and I was blessed to talk to them today! They were telling me about International House of Prayer. I have heard about IHOP before, but had no idea how amazing it sounds. They do the 24/7 worship to God too, but right in Kansas City, MO. You can even go see them right now live via streaming internet.
I had heard of IHOP but only because I like a singer Misty Edwards (not to be confused with Misty in Atlanta :) and I probably should mention too that IHOP is not to be confused with the pancake restaurant ;). My favorite song of hers is I Will Waste My Life. Her songs have had a large impact on my faith and worship. Looking at the schedule tomorrow they have Misty Edwards tomorrow! I anticipate tomorrow so heavily right now I feel like bursting!
Ending the day was with Jake, my boss at VOM. His walk with God has been a blessing to me these four days. A couple of years ago he stepped out in faith. Quit his job. Sold his house. Became a volunteer at VOM for a year. Only to find out that VOM offered him a position and hired him. A God story like that gives me chills and so much hope! Thanks Jake, for living out your faith, brother.

Hey Don,
It was really great to work with you today! I'm so glad we got to meet at VOM. I love your blog and will keep following it as your adventure unfolds in China. Who knows, maybe we will meet again, if not here than surely in Glory!

DJ,
I can't begin to explain the joy it brings to once again witness God working right through you and knowing that He worked through me to get you the message of what the VOM can offer. I am going to share this with my mom as well, as if it was not for her signing me up to receive that newsletter, your path may have been very different. Who knows...God knows and he has such amazing plans for you! Stay safe and know we are all praying for you back home.

Confusius once said: Faced with what is right, to leave it undone shows lack of courage.
1 Timothy 5:18b "And, The labourer is worthy of his reward."
You know what is right and are not leaving it undone. and you certainly have laboured. May the Lord Bless and keep you. May all our prayers go before and with you on your journey. Do not forget to enjoy the adventure.

Don, now on this next China leg of your journey, may you keep your eyes fixed on heaven to see what grace and providence and favor Almighty God grants you as you seek first His kingdom...
