go and tell what God has done //

I love reading through Psalms. Lately, I've noticed this repeated phrase of telling the next generation of the work God has done. "It shall be told of the Lord to the coming generation; they shall come and proclaim his righteousness to a people yet unborn, that he has done it" (Ps 22:30-31)"Walk about Zion, go …

Prayer //

Why Korea? //

Annyeonghaseyo! Why South Korea? Why go to a developed nation where Christianity is already growing? Christianity is not new to Korea.
