Summer Orphanage Ministry Volunteer Opportunity!

Jerusalem Ministry is the NGO in Seoul, Korea that I worked with for a year while I was an undergrad. Volunteering with this ministry impacted my life like CRAZYYY (including the reason why I’m in grad school for Social Work–and almost done!).

It was through this ministry–working with the kids, praying for their hearts, and being mentored though the church– that I really learned how truly big God’s heart is for His children (myself and those in the children’s home)!

I’ve been doing a lot of reading on the doctrine of adoption/God the Father’s intense love for us lately, but until I have legit time to write about it, I’ll just say that this ministry will experientially teach you tons about it…. much more than my blog… so go pray about going to Seoul for the summer!

They’re currently recruiting summer volunteers who will live in a children’s home for two months. If you want more info./application, let me know! (I’d love to pray/talk with you if you have any interest in going!) Or you can contact them via their website!

Psalm 68:5-6 and Isaiah 61:1-3: A father to the fatherless, a defender of widows, is God in his holy dwelling. God sets the lonely in families… He has sent me to bind up the broken hearted… to bestow on them a crown of beauty instead of ashes… They will be called oaks of righteousness, a planting of the Lord for the display of his splendor.

2010 Summer Volunteer Internship

*The Purpose
The goal of this internship is to display the love of Jesus to the youth living in Korea’s children’s homes through the avenue of English language education. Through teaching and fellowship, the volunteer will experience every day life in a Korean children’s home while depending on God’s sufficient provision.

*The Experience
Volunteers will serve in pairs and live within a children’s home in Seoul.
Volunteers will serve at the home each day except on Sundays.
Volunteers will teach English in classes of two or three students.
Opportunities will also be open to teach other subjects (athletics, art, music, etc.).
Volunteers will learn to be dependent on God and His word as they discover how to love God’s children.

*Volunteer Requirements
Must be believers of Jesus Christ and must complete and submit the attached volunteer application by April 16th, 2010.
Must make at least a two month commitment between mid-May and late August.
Must raise support to cover plane tickets and living expenses (approximately $2300).
Must have at least conversational Korean speaking ability. Volunteers will be with Korean speakers most of the time.
Must be dedicated to the children. This is a summer mission trip and it should not be spent to tour, shop, or spend time with relatives. While this can be done before or after the internship, during the two month commitment we require dedication and responsibility to the home-staff and children.
