“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 […]
“About ARISE evangelism” – Rev. Young Joo Lee

“A church that evangelises” – Rev. Young Joo Lee
Every time we hear about churches being converted into pubs and mosques, we ask the question, ‘how can we re-evangelise Europe?’. There is only one answer to this question: to go out and evangelise. It’s not the only thing we need to do, but it is the first thing that we need to do. Before […]

“The Deacons of God’s Vision Church” – Rev. Young Joo Lee
Today we are appointing six new deacons. That will make a total of 25 deacons in our church. Deacons are like mothers and fathers of the church. They are like the core of the church and think of the church before considering their personal or family matters. These are people who do important work for […]
“The Lord’s way of practicing righteousness” – Rev. Young Joo Lee
During the past few years, Koreans have become more interested in politics. Some say that countries with a low voting rate are the good ones to live in – in other words, when politicians do a good job, the people will just trust them to do a good job and be less interested. But if […]
“Characteristics of a person you want to be close to” – Rev. Young Joo Lee
Recently, a thought came to my mind: “who are pastors I usually want to get along with?” I found out that, they are not people who I have a lot to learn from, but people who praise me as a good pastor every time I meet them. It occurred to me everyone else would feel […]
