REPORT OF RECENT MINISTRY IN NE ASIA JUNE 2015
July 23 2015
We are excited to share with
you the most recent visit of NAFEC UK and ERM to North Korea.
For the first time ever, we are
writing to ask for financial help so that you have the opportunity to help the
disabled in North Korea.
The recent events are the
result of nine years of bridge building with those in North Korea who, like
ourselves, are longing to bring help to the most needy among us.
Nine years ago, before Steve
left for a medical mission, he had prayed to meet a man such as is recorded in
Acts 10. A Cornelius!
While the team did many
surgeries at that time, the hospital they were hoping to build for the Disabled
did not happen, and there was one North Korean man whose love for his people
was displayed as he grieved openly for the loss of such a project for his
people. He was the Cornelius that Steve
had prayed for.
Since that time, NAFEC and ERM
have had many opportunities to help Northeast Asia universities, but a few
months prior to this past trip did Steve once again meet Cornelius. ‘Cornelius’, or Mun Chol Kim, brought a group
of Disabled Performers to Oxford, England, last February. Here, we learned that Mun Chol is now Vice
Chairman of the Korea Federation for Protection of the Disabled (KFPD), and has
responsibility to provide care for many through his organization. Steve and Mun
Chol resolved to work together, where a ‘door had closed 9 years ago, it has
now opened’.
Through the grace of God and
the willingness of a doctor, a Korean pastor, a Brazilian football player-coach,
and a dedicated fund-raiser, this five-person team accompanied Steve to North
Korea in June to meet Mun Chol . They resolved together with Mun Chol that they
should work to improve the lives of the disabled in North Korea. Through God’s
grace and your help we believe that the following plans of loving our neighbor
are achievable.
1.
Building a
green house to support the
work of KFPD schools for the blind, deaf and handicapped (mentally &
physically). The vegetables are grown & bartered to provide food for the
children.
2.
Establishing a
bakery in the needy region of Wonson
to produce vitamin & iron fortified bread for pregnant mothers &
infants. Vitamin supplementation in pregnancy has been shown to prevent
prematurity, and neural tube defects in the newborn (eg. spina bifida).
3.
Bringing 2
disabled swimmers to Wales to train over a period of 4-6 months for the
Paralympics, which is to be held in Brazil in 2016.
Both swimmers have leg amputations. They have
achieved some success in Pan Asia Paralympics, but need encouragement to come
to international competitive levels.
In Swansea, Wales, we have the national
coaching centre for UK, and excellent results.
Such support
for the hitherto ‘disenfranchised’ athletes in North Korea would provide great
encouragement not only to the athletes and their families, but to the whole
country and indeed the world.
4.
Long-term project
to build
a surgical/rehabilitation centre at Kim Manyu Hospital, in association
with the Medical Sciences Department of PUST.
Here we will
be able to train physicians in the care of the Disabled as well as treat
congenital orthopaedic deformities, deafness, blindness etc.
Projects 1-3
do not involve large sums of money and with your prayers and financial help can
be achieved in the near future.
Project 4 will
take more capital and organization, and is in its embryonic phase.
Are you being
called to become “STAKEHOLDERS” in this ministry? We need your financial
support, as well as prayer. This is a unique opportunity to serve!
Yours in His
Gospel,
Steve Price
