"Do not withhold good
from those who deserve it, when it is in your power to act."
Proverbs 3:27 (NIV)
There are many ways to assist the ongoing work of Christian
Friends of Korea in North Korea.
Please prayerfully consider how you can best be a part of this
work.
Prayer Support
–
Your regular prayers for Christian Friends of
Korea and our ongoing work in North Korea are greatly coveted.
There are many challenges involved in this work requiring wisdom
and discretion beyond our human capabilities.
The current political situation between North Korea and her neighbors is
tense and uncertain. Please
pray for wisdom and restraint for all of the leaders involved.
The humanitarian situation continues to be very serious.
Please pray that the needs of the people will be met.
For an update on specific current prayer concerns for CFK,
please email tsmith@cfk.org and we
will send you one by email.

Talk to your
Missions Committee about supporting CFK –
Many churches are unaware of the work of Christian
Friends of Korea. You could
be a vital link between your church’s missions committee and CFK.
If you are a PCUSA church, do you know that CFK is a registered
Extra-Commitment Opportunity in the PCUSA?
Invite CFK to share at your church –
We welcome the opportunity to come and share with your
church about our work in North Korea.
It is a privilege to share photos and stories of what your gifts
mean to those we serve.
Please contact us to arrange an engagement.
Volunteering (NC-local) –
If you live in the Western North Carolina region, there are
ways you can help the efforts of Christian Friends of Korea directly.
Such help might include sorting and/or repackaging goods for
shipment, assisting with the packing of a container, assisting with our
mailings, etc. If you would
like to help, please call our office for more information on our current
volunteer opportunities.
Volunteering (your
church) –
We have a variety of projects that your local church
or community could directly participate in.
For example, a great need at the tuberculosis facilities is for
vocational projects to keep patients occupied while they spend months
recovering from tuberculosis.
In the past we have sent such things as yarn and knitting needles,
embroidery kits, puzzles, games, etc.
We seek volunteers who are willing to collect and organize such
things and then ship them to us for inclusion in a sea container.
Please check out our Hands-on Projects
for Churches and Groups or contact
our office for further information.
Another idea would be to host at your church an “Alternative Gifts Fair”
prior to the holiday season.
(See www.altgifts.org,
a sponsor of one of CFK’s programs, for ideas on how to do this.)
Our Commitment to You –
We recognize that there are many competing and worthy
causes for your time and resources.
We are voluntary members in good standing with the Evangelical
Council for Financial Accountability (ECFA),
and submit to an independent financial audit of our books every year.
We seek to use the resources entrusted to us as wisely and
efficiently as we can. Upon
request, we are happy to provide a copy of our IRS Form 990.
