“Love is not easily angered” – Pastor Young Joo Lee
“For man’s anger does not bring about the righteous life that God desires.” (James 1:20); “[love] is not easily angered” (1 Corinthians 13:5) This week, Pastor Lee Young Hwan came to speak to us at an autumn conference of the Korean Churches Association in UK. As an executive of the Association, we had some time […]
“Cell meetings at God’s Vision Church” – Pastor Young Joo Lee
One of the things I’m especially focused on praying about is the recruitment and building up of cell leaders. There are currently 31 cells groups in our church. Of this number, 9 are senior cell groups (consisting of around 50 families), with 5 based in the Wimbledon church, and 4 in the central church. The […]
“After attending LCM’s Thanksgiving Service” – Pastor Young Joo Lee
Last Thursday evening, the annual London City Mission’s (LCM) Thanksgiving Service was held at Westminster Chapel. LCM is a Christian missionary organisation established in 1835 with around 200 full time staff. It is a well-trusted organisation, which receives continuous support from many local churches in the UK. LCM works closely with local churches and provide […]
“An exciting meeting with pastor Soo Kwang Kwak” – Pastor Young Joo Lee
Last weekend I had the chance to meet pastor Soo Kwang Kwak and his wife Jeong Mi Song. Though they had not yet adjusted to the jet lag, and were most likely incredibly tired, but they still invited us to a meal, and we shared a meaningful time in which they shared with us their […]
“God’s pattern of guidance” – Pastor Young Joo Lee
Once every while when I meet pastors that are devoted to serving God, I can’t help but wonder about their spirituality. I remember that when I met Pastor Lee Yonggyu, he said that to him, his ministry was no different from living in a monastery, even though his ministry involved managing a university that requires […]
“A Letter in Our Offering Box” – Pastor Young Joo Lee
Recently, quite a few non-Korean Christians have started to attend our church. Perhaps God is sending them in light of our vision to establish a multicultural church one day?? One of the Korean newcomers who recently joined our church was actually led to GVC thanks to one of our non-Korean members, who had decided to […]
“Holy Spirit, please work in my life” – Pastor Young Joo Lee
Since the start of my last holidays, I have been earnestly seeking God’s powerful presence and glory. At the same time, one of my strongest desires throughout this year has been to become God’s co-worker. I feel that God truly values and attaches significance to my thoughts and actions, even to the point where God’s […]
“God who builds and leads God’s Vision Church” – Pastor Young Joo Lee
Every year around this time one important thing that I must do and a prayer request that I have is raising up cell leaders. There are existing cell leaders who finish their studies in the summer and return to Korea and there are always a group of new families who come in the fall so […]
“After participating in Arise” – Jiyong Park (Arise Team Leader)
I learned a lot from preparing and participating in this year’s Arise. Firstly, I learned that God prepares us and meets all our needs. When I was first told that we would be preparing for Arise, I was excited but also filled with fear. I had participated in the past, but I had never been […]
“God who leads us down the path of growth” – Pastor Juyoung Park
Firstly, I thank God for giving us the circumstances and grace to go ahead with this year’s Summer Bible School. I also thank the members of our church that prayed for us and supported us in many ways. Our Summer Bible School is one of the most important events for the children in our church. […]
