DAVID AND NATAN IN KOREA
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Even though we recently just got back from the States - David
got called to S. Korea again to speak about Israel but also because the
movie "Restoration" has been such a hit or spiritual blockbuster
as quoted from the Korean movie critics. In the beginning it was
shown side by side with "Avatar" which has since closed over
there, but now it is showing side by side with "Iron man
2", in other words the film has been showing 4 months straight with
the theatres still being packed out all over the country. Our
hosts were gracious enough to have our son Natan accompany him, and he came
back refreshed and with new insight on life.
This is David speaking -
When Leah told me that the S. Koreans requested if I
could come over again it was an automatic yes because already the Lord had
been speaking to me about it. Just to explain briefly what happened, the
amazing events of the trip began when we took off in the plane to Korea. We
were seated behind business class, and all of a sudden someone tapped me on
the shoulder and said excitedly - "are you one of the Messianic
believers in the movie"? I said yes -I am.
Natan and I were snoozing off when she came back and said "I
want you to come with me to the back - the people want to say hello to
you". When I went back a few rows, all of a sudden I got a
standing ovation - they stood up with a roar! I wondered to myself
why Natan didn't woke up - how he was able to sleep through that - and the
stewardesses were wondering if I was some kind of rock star. I woke
up Natan and we said hello to the people and they took about 50
pictures. They were a group of about 50 or 60 and took up the whole
section of the plane. I was thinking as they were clapping how
Jack Teitel and the radical people tried to kill our witness and take away
our dignity, but the Lord has restored it -
Psalm 91:14-16-"Because he has
set his love upon Me, therefore I will deliver him;
I will set him on
high, because he has known My name.
15 He shall call upon Me, and I will answer him;
I will be with
him in trouble;
I will deliver him
and honor him.
16 With long life I will satisfy him,
And show him My
salvation."
Isaiah 54:7&8-7" For a mere moment I have forsaken
you,
But with great mercies I will gather
you.
8 With a little wrath I hid My face from you
for a moment;
But with everlasting kindness I will
have mercy on you,"
Says the LORD, your Redeemer.
Travelling through Korea, it was amazing how many people had
seen the movie and recognized me on the street. I would describe the trip
like a mixture between a non-stop action movie and Israeli military
reserve service , where we went from place to place, from TV interviews
to radio, to newspapers to two or 3 churches in one day, to
Universities. However, out of all of the places I spoke what was the
most endearing to me was a large church meeting which was going to be
broadcast by radio into North Korea, where our N. Korean brothers who are
being held and persecuted for their faith were able to receive our comfort.
Psalm 19:1-4-The heavens declare the glory of God;
And the firmament
shows His handiwork.
2 Day unto day utters speech,
And night unto night
reveals knowledge.
3 There is no speech nor language
Where their
voice is not heard.
4 Their linehas gone out through all the earth,
And their words to
the end of the world.
On the trip Natan said "I know that I have come to Korea
to learn something." When he left he confirmed that it had been
accomplished. All the Korean brothers took him under their wings and
spoke very directly into his life. Isaiah 54:13-All your children shall
be taught by the LORD,
And great shall be the peace of
your children
The producer, her assistant in charge of promotions, the
director, and assistant director who translated non-stop, and all
their staff worked night and day. Through their communication with one
another and team work with the utmost professionalism, great things
were accomplished for the Kingdom on this trip.
Because anti-religious freedom people read our letters, I'm
limited on what I can share but at a later time I will share more.
Thank you for your prayer and continuing love,
Leah and David
