“A Small Celebration, a Great Calling” – Pastor Hyungmin Kim
On February 15, our middle and high school ministry will be holding a “Bring-a-Friend Celebration.” Coincidentally, it falls during Korea’s Lunar New Year holiday. These days, interest in Korean culture such as K-pop, K-dramas, and Korean food is growing. I believe this movement goes beyond a passing trend and can become a precious opportunity to […]
“A Church of Calling, Not Staying” – Haeyoung Jung (from Joonyoung Lee Cell)
After graduating, I began my first overseas chapter through a Working Holiday in Australia. Being thrown into a completely unfamiliar land, I had no choice but to cling to the Lord as I searched for a home and a job and tried to build stability in life. In that season, the Lord allowed me to […]
“Eighteen Years on the Journey of Missions” – Pastor Young Joo Lee
In June 2008, I began my ministry as the senior pastor of God’s Vision Church. Although I am a Korean pastor, I came to the UK as a missionary, and from the very beginning, mission have been close to my heart. In those early years, our church held three retreats annually, and one of them […]
“Bible Meditation Seminar” – Pastor Young Joo Lee
I personally meditate every day. It all started in my first year of university when a staff member of a missionary organisation gave me a Bible meditation book as a birthday gift. He visited the university once a week to teach the Bible, but he made sure to share his own reflection notes before study. […]
“Tips for Bible-Reading” – Pastor Young Joo Lee
I am embarrassed to admit this as a pastor, but my Bible reading is not always consistent. The time when I read the Bible most eagerly was during my university years, when I first encountered Jesus. As I became convinced that this was truly God’s word to me, I discovered truth within it, gained a […]
In order to see God working – Pastor Young Joo Lee
When the New Year begins, people tend to set new goals or plans and try to carry them out. When it comes to cultivating good habits in everyday life, it can be helpful to be intentional in this way. But when it comes to the larger direction of life, what matters most is trusting and […]
“Four Chapters a Day, a 333-Day Promise” – Pastor Hyung-min Kim
Whenever a new year begins, I’m reminded of my childhood, when I would always resolve to read the Bible. Genesis is relatively engaging—creation, the stories of Abraham and Joseph unfold at a breathless pace. The early part of Exodus isn’t bad either: the ten plagues, the miracle of the Red Sea, manna and quail. But […]
“The Essence of Christian Spirituality” – Pastor Young Joo Lee
Over the past few years, the message I have preached most often has been this: “Come to the living Jesus, not dead scriptures.” When I share the gospel on the streets, I also emphasize this point: no matter how perfect the Scripture we possess may be, we do not have the ability to follow it […]
“London is a Mission Field” – Pastor Young Joo Lee
Many Christians in Korea worry about what they see is happening to the Church of England. This is because there are many churches that are closed, and I keep hearing the heartbreaking stories that the buildings are being sold turning into shops, offices and even mosques. In fact, there is a church building that has […]
“Obedience is a matter of faith rather than will” – Pastor Young Joo Lee
There is a brother who used to attend our church and now lives in California after getting married. He said he was stopping by the UK briefly to visit his parents, so my wife and I met him for the first time in a long while and shared a meal together. As we comfortably talked […]
