Finding Easter Eggs – Eunyoung Lim
Back in Korea, Easter was only celebrated in churches. Children at church usually drew pictures or decorated boiled eggs by sticking paper decorations on them. When I was part of a youth group, we also decorated and exchanged eggs. As boiled eggs were a bit bland, we sometimes bought roasted eggs to share. Thinking back, […]
“Lord, teach me your grace” – Pastor Young Joo Lee
Only those who have been loved can love – if I hadn’t believed in Jesus Christ, I would have never learned how to love others. I lived with my grandmother until I became of age, rather than growing up in a normal family, so I didn’t learn how to build proper relationships. Thanks to God’s […]
“Love, the greatest power” – Pastor Young Joo Lee
As we live in this world, the most difficult thing to deal with is our weaknesses, shortcomings and sinful nature. These are things that we find not only in ourselves, but also in other people in our lives. We ask ourselves ‘Why am I like this?’ or ‘How long will he/she keep making my life […]

“Thoughts on JMS’ eschatology” – Pastor Young Joo Lee
I was extremely upset and enraged by the news stories on Providence Church, better known as JMS, which is a South Korean religious cult that believes that Jung Myeong Seok, the founder of Providence church, is the Messiah. Young women were reported to have suffered sexual assault by the founder, in silence, because they were […]
“New GVC Instagram Account!” – Yejin Hong
God’s Vision Church (GVC) has around 300 people come and go each year, and is present in Central London and Wimbledon. We have around forty cell groups, each with around 12 people. As a big church, we have a lot of volunteers, events and clubs, but it’s quite difficult to meet people outside the teams […]
“A message you must hear” – Pastor Young Joo Lee
This week an elder living in New York sent me an email. He came to London in 2017 while on a business trip and visited our church, after which he watched our services on YouTube from time to time. He told me that through listening to recent sermons on the topic of Job and God’s […]
“Further Explanation about Diaspora Mission” – Pastor Young Joo Lee
The term ‘diaspora’ used to refer to the Jewish people that had been scattered across different regions beyond Israel, but nowadays, it refers to those that live in a different country for business, studies, as refugees or for any other reason. South Korea is one of the countries with the largest diaspora population. Koreans can […]
Further explanation about planting multicultural churches – Pastor Young Joo Lee
Today, I’d like to provide further explanation about planting multicultural churches, which is second on our church’s prayer list this year. The final goal of any missionary work is to plant churches. We can evangelise in various ways from doing charitable work, building schools and hospitals to teaching English and sports. But ultimately, it must […]
Christians at Work Groups – Pastor Young Joo Lee
So far I’ve shared my three main prayer requests for our church this year. I would like to go into a bit more detail on each one. The first one I’d like to talk about today is our “Christians at Work Groups”, which was the first prayer request. This is a new initiative that we […]
