The South Korean government has denied the second appeal for asylum for the 60 members of Shenzen Holy Reformed Church, including its Pastor Pan Yongguang. The group, dubbed the “Mayflower Church” by global religious freedom advocates, fled China in 2019 for Jeju Island, where they have been supporting themselves by doing menial labor during their asylum process. The denial means the group must leave Korea and return to China in the next few weeks.

The original ship called the Mayflower carried 102 Pilgrims to the ‘New World’ in 1620 as they fled persecution in England. This “modern-day Mayflower” group looks like they will not be granted the religious freedom they were seeking here in Korea, but they still have freedom in Christ, which no government can take away.

Warmly in Christ,
Pastor Foley and Dr. Foley


Do you find it hard to exercise and maybe need a bit more motivation?

Missionary Trevor and Mr. Oh may just provide that for you in their latest Hebrews 13:3 video!



Is the faith that underground Christians have more than the faith that we have? And if so, how do we get more of this faith?

Pastor and Dr. Foley tell us that if we are asking these questions, then we have a wrong understanding of faith altogether.

Pray for the release of the Sabina movie in Korea later this month. We will show it in the theaters on November 25th but will also do a few private showings to pastors/church leaders on November 15th. 
 
Pray for Pastor Pan and his group of almost 60 Chinese church members in Jeju, South Korea. They were officially denied asylum in South Korea and are now hoping to go to the US soon. The Chinese government has once again started threatening the church members. VOMK has been doing discipleship trainings with them for the past year.
