“Theological Reading of the Bible” – Pastor Young Joo Lee
Although I am a pastor, I am embarrassed to admit that my Bible reading is still inconsistent. So, when I see people who read the Bible diligently every day, I feel humbled. Despite the fact that when I first believed in Jesus during my first year in college, I was most passionate about reading, learning, […]
“Arise: an opportunity to have deep conversations whilst evangelizing.” – Eunyoung Lin (Pastor Juyoung Park)
Although it was difficult for me due to the many rejections we came across during Arise, I am thankful to the Lord for allowing me to experience meaningful encounters and enjoyable fellowship with believers that went beyond that. After three days of evangelism training, we headed to City Hill Church, which hosted us. From the […]
“To Live as an Evangelist in my Daily Life” – Yejin Shin
This year’s Arise program was my second time participating in Arise. Around this time last year, after being offered a role of cell leader, I impulsively signed up because I wanted to gain courage to evangelise. Despite the challenges of door-to-door evangelism, I found myself determined to do it again next year. However, after focusing […]
“Changing our bible study book from this November” – Pastor Young Joo Lee
One of the reasons I believe in Jesus is because it is mostly rational. Of course, it is different from the theory of rationalism, which regards human reason as absolute. It amuses me to think that the existence of the great God who created us needs to be explained entirely through human reason. On the […]
“Arise, led by God” – Pastor Juyoung Park
As I reflect on the recent Arise, the first thought that came to mind was, “God truly guided us.” During the first three days of Arise evangelism training, which I participated in with a sincere heart, God poured out His heart through various evangelists. In particular, when an elderly evangelist named Micky lectured, there was […]
“Experience of God’s love through Arise” – Boah Kim (Hanna Park Cell)
Although I was only able to participate in Arise as part-time on the weekend, my time there was still so special and precious. After being freed from fear and weariness through last year’s Arise, I experienced many changes over the past year. I felt unity with the brothers and sisters who participated in Arise and […]
“My Journey into the ARISE” – Monica Wu
I want to share with you the journey of faith that led me to the Arise. After moving into this country, my faith had been a personal journey, one that I nurtured in the quiet moments of prayer and worship. But there was always this lingering feeling that I was meant to do more, to […]
Having a Cell Group Break for the First Time – Pastor Young Joo Lee
Starting next week, cell group meetings will go on break. The cell leader meetings will also be on break starting this week and cell meetings will resume on September 8. While this is a common practice in other churches, it feels somewhat awkward in our church. Some people are already worried about what will happen […]
“Not a difficult test but a process of receiving God’s character” – Joohyang Song (cell leader)
Using the new change of marriage as an excuse, I had a small desire to quit being a cell leader. However, it seemed that God wanted me to continue. While contemplating for several months, God spoke to me through a fellow worker and during worship. “Do not be afraid, for I love you. Do not […]

From the Association of Korean Churches in the UK, there were a pastors’ couples retreat, a preaching seminar by Professor Sung Wook Shin, and a joint revival meeting with Pastor Kisung […]
