I am getting way to caught up with things here that I am not keeping in touch with those back in the States...especially bad about dates...I really am sorry...= (
I know I'm doing good things here, but if I don't live by the Golden Rule, what use am I? I apoligize...
But I do have some good news. I've been witnessing and planting the seed in many, but have not really been able to see the effects, except there are a few. First, please continue to pray for all of those we have witnessed to/continue to witness to, especially for Teh-Hyun Kim. Upon hearing the Gospel for the frist time, He prayed for God's forgiveness and accepted the Holy Spirit in his heart = ) Please be with him as I am going to meet up with him in January (since he's going back to his home town after his finals)when he comes back to up to Seoul. Also for Wong-Bong. We continue to grow in our friendship and he is realizing how God is working in my life and in the fellow brother's here at ENM...he has not accepted Christ, but I am thankful that he is even open to the Gospel. Please pray as he continues to study hard so that he can get a job and live in Korea (He's originally from China).
I've been told that Christianity is on the decline here in Korea due to corrupt churches/pastors and that more are turning to either "no religion/self power" or Buddhism. I was asked if people ever thought I was crazy since I was witnessing to them, but to be honest, yes, sometimes people totally blow me off, but I can't keep quiet about God's word! I take joy in suffering for Him because I want others to experience His love! Yes, sometimes I will get down and be sad, but God's love NEVER FAILS! This is the first point in my life that I am Completely content to do WHATEVER God will's for me. Before I tended to lean toward what God intended for me, but I was always wanting my worldly desires of respect or prestige, etc deep inside. I can honestly say I will be completely content to do ANYTHING that the Lord wants me to do. I'm no longer scared about my future/failure. This is a verse I read yesterday morning during my QT: "Commit your activities to the Lord and your plans will be achieved" Proverbs 16:3 I no longer want to set selfish/wordly goals simply to please myself or to impress others, but I want to do God's will! Before I left, I was told by a person I respect very much to "remember that it's not about you." It's not about me! Another thing that makes me extremely happy in my life is that somebody I care very much for is setting aside ( ) greedy/worldy goals to live a life of service. I am saying that everybody needs to stop being ambtitous? NO! Always continue to EXPAND Your Territory, but not for youself, but for God. Never stop dreaming! Keep thinking big and God will bless you greatly! sorry I was so preachy...
Next week I will write about my experience in China...please pray that things will go well!
