1st Sunday

"PHUMYHUNG BETHEL CHURCH"

It was my first Sunday at Bethel Church.

Strange.
Strange being at a church that's not GCC.
Strange being introduced as a Missionary.
Strange going through a whole day listening to Korean sermons. 
Strange thinking that it's not a one-time visit, but that I'll be here for the next 10 months.

How do I feel about all of this? I'm not quite sure yet.

Introducing
BETHEL YOUTH MINISTRY

30-40 Junior High & High School Students (predominately Korean-speaking)

5 Teachers (all deacons of the church)

No Pastor

What is my role at Bethel Youth? I'll be taking charge of the Youth Ministry.

Condition of the Youth Ministry? Mm, it's a mess. Not to judge, but it's exactly where GCC Youth was at 5 years ago. (If you were at GCC when Pastor Choi & Pastor David first came into Youth Ministry, you might know what I'm talking about.)

Korean? I'm good at Korean, but when it comes to speaking Korean 24/7... I don't know. 

Do I have the ability to preach in Korean? Yikes, I can barely preach in English. (But God used Moses who couldn't speak to bring the Israelites out of Egypt....)

When I'm nervous, my Korean sucks. So as of right now, the students and adults at Bethel Church think that I speak "한쿸말" (If you know what I mean) 

"God..? It's ALL You."
