“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 […]
“While participating in Arise Evangelism Program 2022” – Pastor Young Joo Lee
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 […]
“Satya Came to the Church” – Rev. Young Joo Lee
Satya, an Indian young man who we met on the street during Saturday Mission and began to believe in Jesus, attended the service for the first time last week. His part-time job usually falls on Saturday and Sunday, but due to a restaurant circumstances, it was changed to Friday and Saturday. I wanted him to […]
“More meetings with Satya from India” – Rev. Young Joo Lee
When evangelising during the last week of February, I met a young man from India named Satya. I encountered him on one of the alleys in my normal evangelism route, staring at his mobile, so I handed him a tract and shared the gospel with him – and he accepted Jesus on the spot. He […]
“God’s Vision Church Wimbledon’s Needs” – Rev. Young Joo Lee
Because our church experiences many changes every year with people coming and going, we have become accustomed to change. Personally, instead of finding new people or new situations difficult my personality is such that I enjoy new things, so our church’s situation was not unfamiliar to me. Of course sometimes unexpected things happen and there […]
