Missionary Diary, here we come!

I am truly surprised and overflowing with gratitude that I, a small countryman and sinner with nothing to my name, was unilaterally loved, chosen, and led by the Lord, the Holy One, and that I am now moving forward in world missions, the most rewarding and significant service and challenge in my life.

At the same time, I walk today with an unquenchable passion from the Holy Spirit and a constant mixture of expectation, anxiety, and peace toward the new mission that is about to begin.

I am reminded that missionary work is something that one person cannot do alone.
As was the case with Barnabas and Saul (Paul) who were sent out from the church in Antioch, both the sender and the receiver of the Holy Spirit are necessary. What connects both sides is faith in the Lord and the Holy Spirit. Without faith, there can be no mission, and without the Holy Spirit, there can be no faith.

We are united in faith with the support group that is sending us out, with our mother church, and with the churches that are accepting our dept. and we are always convinced and encouraged by the Holy Spirit.

At the end of May, I went to a Bible mission meeting at my alma mater for the first time in 14 years.

I felt nostalgia for the teachers I had not seen for a long time, as well as the staff in the office and kitchen, and felt a warmth as if I were with family. I also felt as if I had received a hearty encouragement.

I was also united in faith, and was convinced and encouraged by the Holy Spirit.

Even after all these years, there are still people behind us who pray for us and encourage us. I am reminded that missionary work cannot be done by a single person.

I feel the prayers and encouragement of all of you who support us every day, and I thank you from the bottom of my heart.

May the Lord's blessings be rich upon all of you who love Him! And we pray and cheer for you, too!

God Bless You!!!!!!!
