Join us with Prayers for those serving in Korea

02/02
Hello all,

To place faces with the names of the people you are praying for, we will add pictures of the individuals along with specific information and prayer requests. We want you all to experience as much as possible, this wonderful home and the people who frequent it. We will also share with you all a taste of Korea as we get out and explore with the new members of our family.

Those loving and Serving the Lord


Tom Phillips is originally from South Carolina.

“I am from Clarksville, TN which is where my family is now. We will be going to FT Rucker, AL in May this year. I am active duty Army deployed here by answered prayer. I am a Blackhawk helicopter pilot in the medivac unit.

The Hospitality House is the bar none #1 Blessing in Korea that has gotten me thru this last 9 months. It has truly been in every since of the words, my personal " Home away from Home"!!!! I praise and thank God for this place everyday.

My prayer request as has been mentioned... our child adoption process for a beautiful blessing and sweet baby girl in an orphanage in Bangalore, India. We are currently waiting for the final word before making travel plans to go there and pick her up. Her name is Sophie-Joy Pavithra Phillips 13 months old.”





Matt Partain is originally from California (Presidio, San Francisco), but moved around alot (dad was military).

Matt is in Korea serving his first duty assignment. He and Tom serve in the same unit and is also a Blackhawk Pilot.

“the Hospitality House is a place for fellowship with other believers, a modern-day "synagogue" where people can come to a non-threatening environment to learn about God. “

When Matt is off duty, he enjoys kicking back and engaging in a good play session with Buzz and Woody. Mary loves having a older brother for a playmate!




A taste of Au Jung-Re, Korea

When it comes to shopping, most Americans are
accustome to large indoor mega-stores where
everything in mass quantities can be found under one roof. Here in Au Jung-Re, an outdoor market opens on each day that contains a 3 or 8 in it (i.e. 3, 13, 18, etc..) The sights, sounds and smells differ widely from our experiences back home. The vendors here are most friendly and often give children free samples of the goods they are selling. The streets are narrow and can get very crowded. It takes some time to get used to seeing fish and meat sitting out. The weather this time of year helps. Although the weather has been very mild (35 to 45 highs and high 20's over night). We're hoping that trend continues.
