“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 […]
“When Life is Difficult” – Pastor Young Ioo Lee
Life is hard. Moses said that life is all about labour and sorrow (Psalm 90:10), and even Jesus also said that he would work hard and carry a heavy burden (Matthew 11:28). So, before you ask why life is so hard, you must think more about how to get through it. It is more about […]
“Have a warm day” – Pastor Hyungmin Kim (Cooperative Missionary)
Warm spring sunlight poured in through the living room window. Drawn by its gentle warmth, my steps naturally led me to the window. I wanted to sit by the window, bask in the sunlight, and enjoy a quiet cup of coffee. Just as I brewed the coffee and was about to sit down, I heard […]
“The Power of Life and its Greatness” – Pastor Young Joo Lee
Pastor Chan-Kyu Lee of Hanmaum Church in Frankfurt summarised two of the most important keys to spirituality of the gospel in a seminar for pastors. 1) self-completeness 2) selective attributes. In other words, the gospel is complete in itself and has the ability to completely renew a person. However, we human beings were not made […]
