“After coming back from Arise” – Woo Il Park
I tend to hesitate over evangelism, as it always feels uncomfortable and difficult. In particular, the fact that I would be involved in door-to-door evangelism during this year’s ARISE program made me more nervous. Even moments before ringing the doorbell, I kept endlessly worrying about whether I would be able to communicate well in English. […]
“Returning from Arise” – Seung Joo Lee
Before the first Arise meeting God gave to me, who was half doubting, a heart of “don’t be fearful of anything, but just participate in and enjoy the work that I am doing” so that’s how I ended up participating. And before Arise, although I couldn’t fully prepare because of the excuse that I was […]
“As I return from Arise” – Minji Lee (H.N. Park cell)
Hello, my name is Minji Lee, and I participated this year’s Arise as a full timer. This year, I was able to participate full time as I was transitioning to a new job and therefore was able to adjust my schedule to accommodate. Albeit small, it was my way of doing what God likes as […]
“My wife’s hidden efforts” – Pastor Young Joo Lee
Due to Covid-19 and the start of Wimbledon GVC, I thought that it would be difficult to have a church BBQ this year. Instead, I was thinking about having a BBQ at home with our cell leaders. But when discussing this at a leader meeting, many leaders felt bad about not having a whole church […]
“On Preaching Book of Revelation Again” – Pastor Young Joo Lee
In 1991, instead of immediately entering Chongshin University master’s program after university, I took a year off and began my ministry as an educational evangelist (part-time) at a small church where the father of my friend pastor served. Since the church was small, there were many opportunities to preach in addition to the department that […]

This past week our church participated in “Arise” where we helped an English church evangelize to their community. I visited for a short time on Tuesday and participated all-day on Monday, Friday and Saturday. Usually this program is sponsored by the Amnos church planting school with churches from Korea and America participating and after first […]
“Focusing on Jesus, instead of the signs of Jesus’ Second Coming” – Pastor Young Joo Lee
Since the start of the pandemic, there has been a heightened interest regarding the timing and signs of Jesus’s Second Coming. Even for Jesus’ disciples, this was a hot topic before Jesus’s crucifixion and ascension. “When will this happen, and what will be the sign of your coming and of the end of the age?” […]
“A Dream about Multicultural Church” – Pastor Young Joo Lee
These days, there have been many more occasions to meet and socialize with other pastors. Through those interactions, I share my thoughts on mission works here in London. Probably that’s why I’ve been thinking a lot more about the future of our church these days. Traditional missions are missions to visit countries with different languages […]
“Life at an old age is also a fresh experience” – Pastor Young Joo Lee
Students that study hard long for vacation, and hard-working people with a job long for annual leave. But for those who are studying to get into a good university or working hard to find a job aren’t able to enjoy the free time that they are given. While reading Tim Keller’s “Every Good Endeavor: Connecting […]
Perserverance, the muscles of faith – Pastor Young Joo Lee
There is an old Korean proverb that literally says “people even pay for a hardship in their younger age”, meaning that the experience of hardship at a young age is so valuable that some people might even pay money to experience it. In other words, hardship at an old age leads you and all your […]
