“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 […]
God who makes everything go well – Pastor Young Joo Lee
There were exceptionally many events in June, making it a busy month. Church-wise, there were a leaders’ retreat, a young adult BBQ, and Arise. 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 […]
Reverence that is connected to God’s Love – Pastor Young Joo Lee
If someone asks me which biblical figure I most want to emulate, I genuinely say God and Jesus. Human relationships are so important that they are essentially our whole lives. Having not grown up in a normal family, I always feel lacking in this area. I often struggle with this, but I find strength by […]
Ruby Kendrick, the Missionary – Pastor Young Joo Lee
Born into a devout family at the Southern Methodist Church in Texas, USA, Ruby Kendrick was filled with a passion for evangelizing to non-believers from the time she was a young girl with many dreams. She decided to become an overseas missionary and entered Texas Girls’ High School Bible School. After graduating in June 1905, […]
“Work, Calling, Community, and God’s Vision Church” – Hayoung Pyun, Jooeun Shin’s cell
Why do we have to work? This is a question we often ask throughout our lives. In Pastor Tim Keller’s book, ‘Every Good Endeavor,’ the creation process of God is described as ‘work.’ “In the beginning, God worked. The Lord involved humans in the continual development of His creation work.” It is an incredible grace […]
“Call it an opportunity, not a problem” – Paster Young Joo Lee
There are a few YouTube channels I follow to both study English and indirectly experience British churches. One of them is the Holy Trinity Brompton Church channel. One time, a woman named Helen from Eritrea, often called the North Korea of Africa, shared her testimony. The senior pastor of the church, Nicky Gumbel, an influential […]
