Pray for Big Dream School


  • Pray that the refugee children in BDS not only be educated but more importantly also to receive Jesus Christ as their Savior and Lord
  • Pray that God would raise up more teachers, volunteers, supporters, and partners for the BDS ministries
  • Pray that all refugees and their children throughout the world would have a chance to hear the Good News of Jesus Christ




Join us to be part of God's story

By Roy Seo (BDS coordinator)




It is evident that we live in historical times; millions of lives are impacted by the COVID-19 both physically and economically, and our daily routines may never be the same. Despite the challenging times, one fact has not changed for centuries-God's faithfulness and affection. The unconditional love and commitment have been validated by leaders of the past and by his children of the current generation; followers of Christ who listen, seek and serve him because they have experienced a life-changing grace that cannot be fully described with words from every known language because the extent of his grace is unmeasurable, neither have a limit, and it's depthless.
   
Our story is about his grace - the merciful king who came to save his children and died on the cross to bridge the broken relationship that unites us back to God's original plan for humanity because he loved us unconditionally, more than anyone can imagine. "He was pierced for our transgression, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was on him, and by his wounds, we are healed."  We are given an opportunity to become part of his story, and God is working through his followers to provide the same opportunity for those who have not yet accepted his sovereignty.

The Big Dream School (BDS) is part of God's story. The core of our education program is Christ and Christ alone. Volunteers from various backgrounds and industries are united to provide the space for refugee students and to accept God’s sovereignty that the volunteers have received.  The Big Dream School is a passion-driven ministry with excitements that the staff cannot contain. To see Islamic background students praying in the name of Jesus is an incredible and robust experience!

BDS offers more than 52 classrooms both online and offline. The opportunity to know Christ continues to thrive. The students ranging from kindergarten to adults enrolled with an understanding that BDS is a Christian organization. The increase in enrollment is refreshing news, but there are other elements we must consider. To provide the best opportunity while building a strong relationship with students requires less student ratio per class. In other words, we need more passionate volunteers to carry out the mission - God's Story.

God works wonders, and many times we don't fully comprehend how he works. COVID-19 has been the same way.  The repentance rate has been the highest compared to 5 years ago among refugees from the middle east. We hope for exponential growth in the year 2021 through the network of servant leadership and passionate volunteers across the world.  

Why serve BDS? The most significant displacement across the world in recent times is the Middle East.  Millions are displaced, and thousands are scattered in the country of Turkey and Greece. Many refugees hope to find a better opportunity in western society with a higher quality of life and education. Multiple wars have torn countries such as Afghanistan for decades, and their people are hungry for restoration. To understand a bigger perspective, we need to reflect the history. For example, how did a war-torn country such as South Korea in the 1950s exponentially grow Christianity among its people? Many Christians invested and dedicated their time and service to the people in hoping for the restoration. Do you see the resemblance? We ask that you join us to be part of God's story. He's been sending signals. Will you tune in?
