Feeling lonely while living in London, I started attending a Korean church following a former colleague. I didn’t know much about Christianity and had little interest in spiritual matters; my only goal was to make Korean friends.
However, the first church I attended turned out to be a cult, and my experiences there left me with many misconceptions about God. It was then that a friend invited me to God Vision’s Church. Through Pastor Young-joo Lee’s counseling on cults, the B2 Course, and the Sunday services, my wrong ideas about God began to be corrected and healed.
From that point on, I started praying for the salvation of my husband and my family. Although I knew intellectually that God is capable of all things, a part of me still harbored doubt, wondering, “Could my husband really ever come to believe in Jesus?” He only came to church reluctantly for my sake, showed no interest in the Word, and often said he felt no need for faith because he was satisfied with his life as it was.
However, unlike our dating days, married life brought various conflicts, and one day we had a major argument. Usually, I would insist I was right and wait for his apology, but that day was different. I began to reflect on myself, realised the wrongs I had done to him, and sincerely repented. In that moment, my husband also repented and accepted God.
Since that day, my husband has started reading the Bible and praying daily, even boldly confessing his faith at work. Seeing this, I became certain that God had been listening to my prayers. For the first time, my own faith began to grow as I shared my spiritual life with my family rather than walking alone. My husband’s transformation became a major turning point in my spiritual journey.
One day, my husband expressed a desire to attend an English-speaking church to grow further in his faith and serve more actively. After much prayer, we decided to move to a British church. Remembering how he had stayed by my side at a Korean church even when he had no faith, I felt that, as a believing wife, it was right to support his spiritual growth and stand by his decision.
The time spent at GVC has been a season of immense grace. I confess that God has held and guided our family, and I pray that we will continue to be built up as a family of faith in Him.
