“I returned safely from India” – Pastor Young Joo Lee
After returning from the India mission trip on Monday, I immediately joined the online discipleship course hosted by Wooridle Church. It was held from 9 a.m. to late afternoon Korea time and for pastors living overseas. This meant 1 a.m. to 7 a.m. UK time so I was unsure whether I’d be able to handle […]
“I returned safely from India” – Pastor Young Joo Lee
I left home at 6 a.m. on Monday and arrived in Delhi past midnight. At Gandhi Airport, I met Missionary Seokheon Lee, who had arrived earlier. We checked in for the domestic flight to Bhopal at 5:55 a.m. and spent the remaining time at the airport. When we arrived at Bhopal Airport, Devdas—whom I first […]
“Attending the Indian state church leaders’ retreat” – Pastor Young Joo Lee
In 2008, when I first came to London, I attended the London Mission Conference where missionary Kanghee Ahn came as a speaker. He gave a lecture on missions to unreached and unengaged people groups. As I listened, my heart stirred at the big-picture vision of completing global missions. Over the past decade, major mission organizations […]
“A meaningful visit to Korea” – Pastor Young Joo Lee
I went to Korea at the request of Choi Dabriel and Hyunseon Gong to officiate their wedding, but the time before and after turned out to be deeply meaningful. I boarded the flight to Korea on Sunday evening and landed the next day at Incheon Airport, heading straight to Wooridle Church in Pangyo for the […]
“Why I Want to Stay Awake Even in the Fullness of Grace” – Pastor Hyungmin Kim
It’s already been nearly six months since I came to God’s Vision Church. The precious relationships and ministries I’ve encountered within this cherished community of faith are the greatest blessings I’ve received this year. A few days ago, the participants of the 2025 Southwest Evangelism Trip gathered to prepare together. As twelve individuals with different […]
“My upcoming trip to Korea” – Pastor Young Joo Lee
I’m leaving for Korea this evening after finishing the Central Sunday service today. I’m glad to report that one of the purposes of my trip is to officiate the wedding of two people this coming Saturday, who met at our church and have been together for a long time. Additionally, just like last time, the […]
Great Assurance and Expectation vs. Burden and Uncertainty – Pastor Young Joo Lee
Every time I reflect on our church’s vision, two emotions rise up: a deep sense of assurance and excitement, and also a feeling of burden and uncertainty. Starting with the assurance—whenever I attend mission-related gatherings or meet others passionate about missions, I become convinced that our church’s vision reflects what God wants to do in […]
“To love is the greatest power” – Pastor Young Joo Lee
For young people, perhaps no word stirs the heart more deeply than vision. Typically, when we think of vision, we connect it to what we are meant to do in the future—God’s plans for our lives, especially in relation to our careers or life path. And indeed, because God has adopted us as His beloved […]
“Loving the One Person in Front of Me” – Pastor Young Joo Lee
One of the things I often said after encountering Jesus personally was, “Jesus didn’t die for us; He died for me.” Of course, Jesus did die for all of us, but what I meant was that I wasn’t just one among the masses barely caught up in salvation — it was deeply personal. There were […]
“Extreme Gospel” – Pastor Young Ioo Lee
I meditated on Luke 19:1–10, where Jesus meets Zacchaeus, the chief tax collector. The word “extreme” came to mind. First, in Zacchaeus’s action of climbing a sycamore tree just to see Jesus. Second, in Jesus’ response. Despite His busy schedule and the crowd’s excitement, He chose to stay at the house of Zacchaeus, a man […]
