KOREAN FRIENDS

I attended my pastor's group meeting yesterday.  We shared our morning with a group of about twenty pastors and leaders from South Korea.  Our translator was a friend from Akron named Sunhee Starkey.  She did a marvelous job of helping us to communicate.  It was wonderful to hear prayers lifted in two languages.

Many of the Korean pastors are women - young and older.  They are vibrant in their love for God - and VERY RESPONSIVE!!  Energetic for God and His Kingdom work! 

Bishop Cho spoke to us about opportunities to reach out to Asians who are hungry for God!  He has made ninety trips to China!  He has a great passion for seeing the millions of lost people in China come to Christ!  He was humble, but powerful in the Word! 

I am forever changed by the exciting things he shared! 

Remember the scene from the Grinch cartoon, where his heart began to grow three sizes in his chest?  A love for the people of the Hoo Village consumed him!  My love for the Asian Church has grown similarly!  I must find a way to be actively involved in this historical movement of God's Spirit!
