Don't Waste Your Life

This is the final post from Korea. Tomorrow morning our flight leaves at 9:30. What an incredible time we've had. This afternoon I had the privilege of leading the college worship service at Su-Do Church. They are familiar with many of the modern worship songs coming out of America, UK, and Australia right now, so I did many of them. It was awesome to hear them lifting their voices to our Savior in Korean as I sang in English. After the worship I gave them a challenge from this verse. I challenged them not to waste their life - not to look back on their life in 40 or 50 years and realize that they missed having an intimate relationship with their Creator. I challenged them to make Jesus the center and the focus of their life, from this day forward. It was a really awesome way to finish out our week of ministry here.

Thank you Jesus for the souls saved out of darkness and out of the hands of the enemy into the marvelous light of our awesome Savior - into Your hands that are mighty to save!

Thank you all for praying. Here's the report we got tonight at our celebration dinner: With all of about 12 teams combined, roughly 1500 Koreans placed their faith in Jesus Christ over the course of this week. Praise the Lord! (Chan yang hey-o!) Thank you for interceding on behalf of these new brothers and sisters whom we will one day worship with for all eternity at the throne of our great God.

1500 people, that's amazing! If you think about it that's close to all the people who attend a Southbrook service in a weekend! Welcome home Josh :)

Praise God for your willingness to try octopus spaghetti, so many Americans are so comfortable with their biscuits and gravy...
