2020.12 News Letter

It had been a hard year worldwide and personally... but want to start this letter with thanksgiving... 

 

 

ThanksGiving in the midst of COVID

1. More time with family... Costa Rica had been locked down right after start Covid last March. Everything closed and no driving in the evening... It was almost like a war spending all day long with two kids without leaving outside... However, I could know the names of teachers and friends, or what subject he likes the most and so on... could talk a lot more than before, and had to take care of them more than ever before... Just thankful for everything, Lord... Thanks for what You had given to me... especially, my family... 

2. We could do our ministry as much as before. Of course it was totally different way than we thought, but could do reunion, dicipleship, and all types of trainings by online. We even did Uruguay and Curasao Mission by online... At first, it was hard to adapt all the ministries in online but young students was way more fast and could think about many ideas that we could do by online.

3. More time with God... I couldn't depend people, or environment... It has been a time of depending on God totally...

4. I could live with more generosity. There were much more offering from Korea to the mission field to help in needs, so I could share more things with my students and staff members in Latin America. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Family Story

Probably, the kids would be the ones who experience the most hard times... However, starting of November, they could start going to school and other activities... 

I had to do 2-3 dicipleship each day in the morning, and spent times with my sons... Even though I had to do discipleship by online, we could have 12 more new student leaders!!!!! 

We had prayed about our future and Jae had decided to go to US to study but I've got rejected visa (Student spouse visa). This was really hard experience for me because I couldn't know the reason for it, and why this thing had happened to me. We could not think of anything that we could decide other things... We are stilll waiting for God's timing or God's answer for this. 

We had a 10th anniversary this year. We had time of going back our 10 years of marriage. Maybe not marriage but ministry that we've had gone through... from Kyung Hee University in Korea, UNAM in Mexico and now in Costa Rica... And we started to pray to God that give us at least 20 more years to serve for you... But as we think about 20 years, it seems like too much short time because our past 10 years also was so so so short... And I could have heart that don't want to waste single minute of my life... and want to do my best to serve God... That's why I need to pray more to decide about our future... however, I really want to take this waiting time with patience and faith.
