"Is not this the kind of fasting I have chosen: to loose the chains of injustice and untie the cords of the yoke, to set the oppressed free and break every yoke? Is it not to share your food with the hungry and to provide the poor wanderer with shelter - when you see the naked, to clothe them, and not to turn away from your own flesh and blood?" (Isaiah 58: 6-7)Hello, my name is Ju Eun Won. Everything I am is by His grace and for His glory. I want to share the love of Jesus, which God has shown me through my parents, teachers, friends, and others around me, with children. God loves children and He has a special plan for each of them. I thank God for giving me the opportunity to serve at Haven. I hope the love I received from Jesus overflows into the heart of our students and into the hearts of every lost sheep God is searching for!

See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the desert and streams in the wasteland. (Isaiah 43:19)Hello, I am Jueun Lee. Our students, including myself, firmly believe that God has a vision and plan. Even though there is no joy or hope in their lives like in the wilderness, I want to experience with my students the miracle of God creating a river in the desert. We want to hear these testimonies of miracles from Haven students, and we will do our best to provide a warm educational touch so that children can become proud in God's eyes.
