“About ARISE evangelism” – Rev. Young Joo Lee
I had been thinking and praying long and hard about how to evangelise to different ethnic groups in the UK when I came across AMNOS Church Planting School. During the year I spent studying at AMNOS, our group of seven students got on really well like a family. My English, which was only elementary at […]
“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 […]
“Strategic Mission in a City” – Rev. Young Joo Lee
I came as a pastor in charge of God’s Vision Church, but I was sent as a British missionary of the Hwangdong Presbyterian Church in Korea. As such, from the beginning, I was interested in mission work in London. In conclusion, the message that the Lord gave me was Diaspora Mission in the city. If […]
“Coming Back to Wimbledon” – Rev. Young Joo Lee
Last Thursday, we signed a contract with Priory Church of England Primary School. We are now able to use the hall as our place of worship, two classrooms for our church school, and the wide playground at lunchtime. Praise team practice sessions will take place on Saturday morning. The fees are higher than expected, and […]
“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 […]
“Satya Naveen, who the Lord has Prepared” – Rev. Young Joo Lee
Whenever I pray about evangelism, I ask God that I experience the joys of harvesting, as well as the joys of planting. And the following events occurred last Saturday. After singing praise to God in Leicester Square, we split into smaller groups to evangelise. I was grouped with Sehyung and Inji. Not long after we […]
“Change requires hard work” – Rev. Young Joo Lee
I started this Open Mind corner in church leaflets when I was at my old church in Korea, serving the “Young Adults” division (those in their 20s-40s that were still single). I wanted to become closer to the younger generation and thought it would be a good idea to share my life and thoughts with […]
“Where God Wants Me” – Ian Kim (J. M. Yoo Cell)
Hello, my name is Ian and I’ve been a member of God’s Vision Church since the autumn of 2017. I was born into a practically atheist family in Korea where my mother’s and father’s respective sides came from Buddhist and Catholic backgrounds. I have developed my Christian identity in an Islamic country where I spent […]
