As I was praying last night, God reminded me the power of freedom.
Let us pray for the men and women who hold others captive. Even today and throughout the night in dreams, may God reveal to these people how He has freed them. O, that they would know the precious freedom we have in Jesus.
May they liberate those whom they are holding captive.

Thank you.
We are back from Thailand! Thank you to those who faithfully prayed for us. We love you and honor you.
Words fall short, but simply put: Thailand was amazing.
God provided incredible connections...both in our appointments that were made and totally divine connections while there. We met some passionate men and women who are serving on the frontlines. We also met some very precious men and women whom the Father dearly loves. We praise God.
In the coming days, we look forward to sharing with you stories that unearth God's great love for these people, unearth their beauty, unearth the injustice, unearth their destiny.

Going strong in Thailand!
Hello from the warm and beautiful Thailand :)
The team has all made it here safely and things are going well so far. Here is a brief overview of what has happened so far....its already been a crazy 2 days! The devil is resisting us and our work a lot! But the Lord is stronger and he is working mightily!
Saturday we had a great team dinner and planning and prayer time.
Sunday, God divinely lead us to a church that we weren't initially
planning to go to. It was a spirit filled place and we made amazing
connections. A woman who is in charge of connecting all the Christian
ministries in Thailand. A converted Muslim missionary from Pakistan.
An apostolic church planting pastor from Singapore. The pastor met
with us for hours after service and shared with us his visions for the
church in Thailand and he listened as we shared with him about Korea.
We agree with him that it is Thailand's finest hour and the harvest is
ripe and ready. He was so supportive and willing to help us out in any
way and he prayed for us as we finished the meeting.
We also met with the Thai staff of a local ministry that does bar
outreach and has a home and jobs for the girls. We had a Q and A
session about the industry in Thailand and will be meeting with her
again tonight to do outreach.
We have had a lot of opposition thus far, so we need your prayers! Please!
-Strategy
-Awareness!! We FOR REAL need alertness all the time, even when we are
"just" sitting down to eat.
-Boldness and faith to go into the secret and hidden places
-pray Isaiah 61:1 for us
Thanks!! We will update you more with pictures and stories as we are able to.
For the glory of God!

UNEARTHED MISSIONS TRIP!!!
Thailand 2011
Thank you so much for praying with us thus far. We have felt so much strength, excitement and grace and we are so expectant for the trip. Here are a few other specific prayer requests.
- Team Unity- Not only do we want to minister together, we want to grow in our relationships with each other and bless each other during our time. This is going to be crucial for what we are going to do when we come back to Seoul.
- Thai Ministries- Please pray into these ministries. They are doing amazing things!!!
- Protection- Physical protection, spiritual and emotional as well! This is a war we are entering, and we don't go in without our armor.
- Prophetic/Words of Knowledge- We want to minister to people by touching secret places in their hearts. Pray that the Lord will reveal things to us as we pray for the people we encounter in the bars, clubs and on the streets.
- Logistics- please pray that everything goes smoothly with logistical things like buses, trains, planes, hotels, money, etc.
- Divine appointments- we want the Lord to show us his heart for who to minister to, and to make connections with other ministries
- Open and teachable hearts- pray that we are sensitive to the spirit and open and ready to learn all that He wants to show us this week.
Thank you also to everyone for your financial support!! We have raised just under 3/4 of our goal for this trip!

Anticipation.
"And I will shake all nations, so that the treasures of all nations shall come in, and I will fill this house with glory, says the Lord of hosts." -Haggai 2:7
Freedom, justice, healing, restoration, shalom, life are coming. I believe it. Would you believe with me?
I'm so excited for our last walk of 2010 tonight. We will see breakthrough that will overflow into 2011.
O Church, let us contend together. Let us usher in His kingdom. Maranatha!
I love how I can anticipate great things from my Great God.
Come thou long-expected Jesus,
Born to set Thy people free;
From our fears and sins release us,
Let us find our rest in Thee.
Israel's strength and consolation,
Hope of all the earth Thou art;
Dear Desire of every nation,
Joy of every longing heart.
Born Thy people to deliver,
Born a Child and yet a King.
Born to reign in us for ever,
Now Thy gracious kingdom bring.
By Thine own eternal Spirit
Rule in all our hearts alone;
By Thine all-sufficient merit
Raise us to Thy glorious throne.

Jesus.
What hope we have in Jesus.
We had such a sweet time of worship before our walk on Friday. We prayed and prophesied over the area with Psalm 9:7-10.
"But the Lord sits enthroned forever, He has established His throne for justice, and He judges the world with righteousness; He judges the peoples with uprightness. The Lord is a stronghold for the oppressed, a stronghold in times of trouble. And those who know Your name put their trust in You, for You, O Lord, have not forsaken those who seek You."
Our hearts grieve for the men, women, and children who are oppressed. There is a heaviness as we see the brokenness and depravity of this fallen world. As we go out each walk, we're so bothered by what we see. We read stories in the news that anger us.
We love the sinner. We hate the sin. We detest the injustice. We abhor the wickedness. We loathe the apathy, deception, greed, lies. We despise the corruption. We can't stand it that lives are being stolen.
But, Jesus is our Strongtower. Jesus is our hope, life, love, freedom, peace, refuge, rest, justice, joy, righteousness, redemption, victory.
We honor You, Jesus.

Prayer Walk FRI DEC 10th
We have so many wonderful things to share with you and update you on! Here we go....
UPDATES and NEWS
1. (BETHANY) Bethany and her boyfriend came to the Thanksgiving Banquet at one of our local churches and it was truly a great evening. We had a good time talking and getting to know each other, sharing with them about the traditions of Thanksgiving, and watching them try turkey for the first time ever! Each day we see Bethany, we grow in love for her, and now for her boyfriend also. They are so precious...how much greater even is the Father's love for them! During the banquet, we sang a few worship songs and it was so fun watching them try to not feel awkward and try to read the English on screen fast enough to sing a few of the words. As I was watching, I was just praying that God would take every word they were saying and make it true for them. Though they didn't know the meaning, they were proclaiming that He is the Almighty and He is the Savior and He brings salvation. We claim it for them.
Thank you, thank you, thank you for praying for Bethany (and for us through this). I know many of you don't know her, but you still love her like you do and you pray for her as if she is your own friend. We can't express how thankful we are for that!
2. (MISSION/VISION TRIP JAN 1-9, 2011) And possibly the biggest update yet....Unearthed is setting out on our first mission trip!! God placed it on our hearts and we jumped out in faith! Its all quite last minute, but He is showing us that He already has it all set up. Soooooo, to start off 2011 with a bang, we are going to Bangkok and Pattaya, Thailand!! 3 of us will be going to serve at local ministries located in the red-light districts and slums. Our aim is to love and serve Thailand, bless the ministries there that are making such a difference in that nation, and get training on how we can better minister in Korea. PLEASE PRAY FOR US!! This is a huge step for our ministry, so we need your support! We will surely be keeping you updated on everything that transpires while we are there. We are already getting dreams and visions about what is going to happen and we are trusting the Lord for even more!
3. (12 DAY FAST) Too many big things are happening to not bring it before the Lord with prayer and fasting. So that is what we are doing. We felt the Lord pressing the number 12 on our hearts on multiple occasions, so starting on Dec. 12th (12/12) we will be fasting for 12 days. We want to press into Him for the remainder of the year, dedicate ourselves to extended times of prayer and petition for the upcoming mission trip, and cry out for more to be released and freedom to come to Korea in 2011. If you feel led, PLEASE join us in the fast! Whatever capacity you feel called to fast, whether it be 1 meal, 3 days or all 12 days, we welcome you to join! Please send us an email to let us know you are joining us so we can encourage each other together!
CALL TO ACTION
It's time for our biweekly walk, so again we are calling on our intercessors. Let me just tell you how important you are! I can tell you from experience that I have literally felt your prayers at different times throughout our walks. If you have ever doubted that your prayers make a difference, that is a lie! We need your continued commitment to interceding for us when we go out. There is no battle without the soldiers and weapons. You are Unearthed's soldiers and your prayers are our weapons!
Please pray for:
* Focus!!
* Increase in prophecy and words of knowledge. We want to minister to people in a way that they've never experienced before.
* Protection from witchcraft. We've been sensing that witchcraft and the occult is playing an even bigger role in the sex industry than we imagine and we want protection from all harm.
* Physical health for all Unearthed members. Quite a few are sick right now and we sense it is an attack to keep the group from bonding and growing closer.
* Men. Men. Men. Pray for men in Korea. Men in the church. Righteous men. Hurting and oppressed men. Hurtful men. All of them. Cry out. Weep for them!!

Freedom is for everyone!
