Our Heavenly Father, I believe that the coming of the kingdom of God on this earth is not far away, but it is near, in our heart. With a sanctified heart and sincere faith, let us stand before God and be filled with the Spirit of God when we come to You. Lord, tell us your will for the nations through this intercession. Your servant will listen.

Please continue to pray for OMS Korea as we transition into being a mission field and a missionary-sending organization which will mobilize, train, and send out missionaries from Korea to serve with OMS around the world. We are working on some changes in our structure, budgets, etc. We are excited to see how OMS can mobilize more missionaries to serve around the world. Pray for Johnny Song who will serve as the executive director for OMS Korea.

I pray in the name of Jesus, Amen.
