“My ridiculous moral standards” – Pastor Hyunseok Chung
Our journey of faith begins with believing that Jesus Christ, the Son of God, died a brutal death on the cross to forgive our sins. This is where many people may feel resistance toward the gospel. Even believers who are now living a life of faith are no exception. We may ask, “What exactly have […]
“The Beginning of Evangelism: A Heart of Compassion for Souls”- Pastor Wooil Park
This week, on May 21 (Thu) and 22 (Fri), I attended the ‘Billion Soul Harvest’ conference for two days. Stepping away from the busyness of daily life for a moment and being present at this spiritual gathering became a time of fresh restoration for me. Seeing so many people who are dedicating their lives to […]
“QT Seminar v2” – Pastor Youngjoo Lee
The second QT Seminar cohort is currently underway. The first cohort was held at a home during weekday mornings for adult members in South Wimbledon, while the Central group met mainly with young adults at Central GVC on Saturday mornings. A total of 30 people completed the course. This second cohort is focused primarily on […]
“Review of the Diaspora Mission Conference” – Pastor Youngjoo Lee
I arrived at LAX airport on the morning of April 30. An elder from Bethel Church drove us to the hotel in Irvine where I was able to check in and head straight to the conference venue, Bethel Church. More than 100 missionaries and pastors from six continents lined up in two from the entrance […]
“Preparing for ARISE 2026” – Pastor Wooil Park
I came to the UK in 2018 to study and returned to Korea in September 2021. After going back, I entered a theological seminary and served in a church. Yet through that time, God made me aware of my own shortcomings and the UK, the place where I first experienced His goodness, remained in my […]
“Discernment and Focus in Ministry”-Pastor Young Joo Lee
Compared to churches in Korea, ours isn’t very large, but among Korean churches in Europe, we’re known for having many young people gather. Because of that, people have taken interest and reached out, suggesting that we partner together if there are important ministries to pursue. Yet, because I have personally witnessed so clearly that it […]
“The wave of a mighty revival begins in the UK”-Pastor Young Joo Lee
As the event approached, I realized my heart was heavier than I had expected. Attendance was lower than I had hoped, and for the first time, I felt a sense of failure in ministry. I recognised that I had relied too much on people rather than God, that pride had crept into my heart, and […]
“God who calls those who feel inadequate”-Pastor Hyunseok Chung
I came to the UK in the autumn of 2024 to pursue my master’s degree, and in January of last year I began serving as an associate pastor at God’s Vision Church. It was at GVC that I first came to believe in Jesus and began my life of faith. Returning to the very first […]
“A Family Restored Through Repentance” – Jihye Seok
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 […]
From Burden to Blessing – Jonathon Matthews
When I first started going to church, it wasn’t because I loved God, but because of my wife. Honestly, going to church felt like a burden, and it was even harder for me as an English speaker attending a Korean church. I didn’t really understand the pastor’s sermons, I wasn’t praying, and I wasn’t reading […]
