Orphan Spirit Seminar and Announcements (Prayer Meeting Saturday: August 28, 2010)
Hello Everyone,
The past few weeks have been quite a blur for the leaders of the ministry. The soccer camp was a huge success (praise God!) and we hope to have pictures and a video up on the website soon. As for now, pictures can be viewed on my facebook (John Michael Becker). Niagara Conference was also a great blessing and I was able to teach on the orphan spirit (see attached seminar). I was also able to give a seminar about the visions and words God has given me for the children of North Korea. If you go to this page you can access the audio recording of the seminar (given on Saturday). If you have a heart for North Korea or for the children of Korea, I really want to encourage you to listen to the seminar. It will bless you a lot.
Most of the other camps for the kids have been wrapping up and already our high schoolers are preparing to go back to school. Volunteering schedules will return to normal very soon and we have a number of openings at our different homes. If you know of people interested in serving at a children's home, please pass our information along to them. This is a prime time to apply, get trained, and then get plugged into a home.
Our next prayer meeting will be Saturday, August 28th at 7:30pm at Nam San Home in Myungdong.
I've copied below some prayer requests for the children of Seoul and for the ministry. God bless!
John-Michael
Prayer requests...
Children: For the orphan spirit to be broken off of the children and for them to have breakthroughs of love and acceptance. For their identities in Christ to be strengthened and for a hunger for the Lord to grow within them.
Children Homes: For God's presence to increase in the homes around Seoul and Korea. For healing to be released and for God's love to be felt and demonstrated through every worker in the homes.
Jerusalem Ministry: For new, solid volunteers to apply to the ministry and be ready to make commitments to the children of Seoul.
Prayer Meeting (May 29, 2010)
Nam San Children's Home
LINK 63% of youth suicides are from fatherless homes (Source: U.S. D.H.H.S., Bureau of the Census)
LINK 90% of all homeless and runaway children are from fatherless homes
LINK 85% of all children that exhibit behavioral disorders come from fatherless homes (Source: Center for Disease Control)
LINK 80% of rapists motivated with displaced anger come from fatherless homes (Source: Criminal Justice & Behavior, Vol 14, p. 403-26, 1978.)
LINK 71% of all high school dropouts come from fatherless homes (Source: National Principals Association Report on the State of High Schools.)
LINK 75% of all adolescent patients in chemical abuse centers come from fatherless homes (Source: Rainbows for all God`s Children.)
LINK 70% of juveniles in state-operated institutions come from fatherless homes (Source: U.S. Dept. of Justice, Special Report, Sept 1988)
LINK 85% of all youths sitting in prisons grew up in a fatherless home (Source: Fulton Co. Georgia jail populations, Texas Dept. of Corrections 1992)
It is estimated that up to 18% of children in foster care are GLBT&Q youth (gay, lesbian, bi, trans and questioning)... 18% is the lowest estimate, other research shows numbers much higher.
A number of kids runaway from their homes each year. Some of them will stay with friends while others will sleep in parks. For many of them they have already experienced deep rejection before coming to the home, so it is easy for them to convince themselves that they are not wanted anywhere and that it is better for them to be on their own. Rather than be grateful for the food, clothing, shelter, and care they receive at the homes, many of the children struggle with anger and dissatisfaction. There is a void in their hearts that they long to satisfy. For many of them they will look to video games, TV, or unhealthy relationships/sexual sin to fill this void. Because of their rejection when they were young and their lack of good male role models in their lives, for many of them their identity is shaky and can be molded by insults or by unhealthy influences. The children of the homes in Seoul (and all Korea) need covering.
Psalm 34:6-8, Psalm 63:3, and Isaiah 55:1-5... God knows that we need to be filled. So many who don't know His love are going through the garbage cans of society to find whatever scraps of acceptance and fulfillment they can. We have to be filled with His love.
So what can we do for the children? We need to keep faithful in affirming and speaking life into the children. We also need to continue to keep the children in prayer. So few, if any are praying for these kids. Even the simplest things like smiles and a high five can touch a child deeply. A friend of mine who works at a Christian academy told me that she makes sure to show love to the children and tell them that she loves them. Sometimes a child will respond to her, "You're torturing me!" but she can tell that the child is receiving the love. We are truly in a battle. Satan is doing all he can to convince these kids are better on their own and that no one loves them. Every act of love, as simple as it may be, cuts through the lies of the enemy and brings light and life into the kids.
Prayer requests...
Kids - For deliverance from every lie of the enemy and the revelation that they are loved and accepted. For the children to be filled with God's love and find true satisfaction. For the children to be freed from rebelliousness and learn how to be grateful for all that they have. For more open doors for our ministry and other Christians to speak life and love into the children.
Dorm parents (workers who care for the kids) - For more strength and energy amidst their busy work schedule. For wisdom in loving and disciplining the children. For the dorm parents to take true ownership over the children and take care of them as their own.
Directors - For the directors of the homes to have greater involvement with the children (many only stay in the office or attend meetings outside the home). For the directors to be prayerful and to have good health (many are old and their health is failing).
Soccer camp - For 48 boys to register for the camp and for our ministry to have great favor with the children homes. For plenty of loving and capable volunteers to commit to the camp. For blessings in all in the planning.
