“Testimony of the ARISE Mission trip” – SIster Se-Hyung Jang
Contrary to last year, during which I took part as a part-time participant, this year, I engaged in ‘door-to-door’ evangelism this year as a full-time participant of the ARISE Mission Trip. Signing up for the ARISE trip itself was the easy part. However, the closer the actual trip became, I was full of concerns even […]
“Two things to prepare when sharing the gospel through conversation” – Pastor Young Joo Lee
In our church, many people who participate in Saturday evangelism in downtown London express, “I feel like I can distribute gospel tracts, but it’s challenging to engage in conversations.” Those who say this have a hidden desire within their hearts, wishing they could effectively share the gospel. Even when we meet acquaintances personally, without necessarily […]
“2023 Arise Evangelism Campaign Sketch” – Pastor Young Joo Lee
On Monday morning, there was an orientation at Gold Hill Baptist Church, where the representative of Amnos church school ministers. Only our church participated in this Arise evangelism in the UK, but other churches from the US and Korea also gathered in one place. In the early morning, I loaded the food prepared by Deacon […]
“Things you learn through Saturday Evangelism meetings” – Pastor Young Joo Lee
During the 2012 London Olympics, a mission conference was held to evangelise throughout London. At the time, around 400 evangelists from Korea, US and other countries received training for two weeks before going out to evangelise. On the last day of the conference, God asked me ‘Can you continue to evangelise?’ to which I responded […]
“Update on Three Church Visions” – Pastor Young Joo Lee
The three visions that our church aspires to in its ministry are: Christians at Work gatherings, Multicultural Church establishment, and Diaspora Missions. What these visions have in common is a focus on moving beyond the church and reaching out to the world. The church is a community that calls people out of the world, nurtures […]
“God so humble and personal” – Pastor Young Joo Lee
This week, as I meditated on Joash king of Judah, I saw God’s personal qualities and humility. Athaliah the daughter of Ahab, the most wicked king of northern Israel, marries Joram king of southern Judah. Later when Athaliah saw that her husband and her son were dead, she proceeded to destroy the whole royal family […]
“The starting and end point of faith” – Pastor Young Joo Lee
How does the Bible define “faith”? If we look at the people to whom Jesus said the words “your faith has healed you”, we can see that they all put in a lot of effort to come to Jesus, even in extreme circumstances – whether by making way through a large crowd just to touch […]
“Calling as co-workers” – Pastor Young Joo Lee
The greatest enlightenment God gave me last year was the fact that God called me as his co-worker. The fact that I am His co-worker means that God has decided not to do any work without me. This also means that because of that decision, God cannot do any work without me. That is why […]
“Live as we were meant to live” – Cell Leader Inji Kim
It doesn’t feel like a lot of time has passed since the Arise trip last year at Goldhill, but in fact, it’s already been a year. Arise in June 2022 took place in a small English village called Chalfont Saint Peter. We spent a week living with wonderful host families, reading the Bible and praying […]
“You must acknowledge your weakness in order to learn” – Pastor Young Joo Lee
People need to learn until the day they die. I recently saw a video of a woman who started to study English at the age of 50 and gave lectures in English at a prestigious American university at the age of 60. Just as knowledge and language need to be learned in this way, it […]
