So far the experience has been great in Korea. We are adjusting pretty well to the time. THe place where we are staying is a lot like North East Tennessee. There are mountains and it looks a lot like Gatlinburg. It is beautiful.
Yesterday we went to KwangLim Church to visit in homes with the pastors. The church has about 30 pastors and they are broken up into nine districts. Each pastor is in charge of a district and has a staff of folks. THey have about 2500 members in the district we visited, with 700 families, 500 of which are active. There are about 250 cell groups in that district.
We attended a cell meeting of about 5 people in a ladies home. They were very hospitable. We broke up in teams of three. They gave us gifts. We had a brief worship service in a business and met with a member for their annual visit by the pastor. We also went to a Christian girls high school. It was a highlight. We ate KFC there. A little surprizing to eat KFC in Korea. WE at Bennigans at night. Our Hosts wanted us to make sure we were comfortable with the food.
Today we went to the DMZ. We had prayer for the reinufication of North and South Korea. That was one of the highlights for me. Today we also went shopping for gifts for the family and myself. I got a custom made suit.
TOmorrow I am looking forward to worship. We worship at Kwang lim church. It worships about 35,000 weekly plus sunday school. We will do both and then attend the largest church in the world, Yoito full Gospel. Pray that it is a good day.
I think the best is yet to come for me personally. Be sure to check out Aaron's blog. He put a video together on some of yesterdays events.
