Dear families in Christ,
It has been an incredible time with the team from my home church, Vancouver Korean Presbyterian Church.  We can't think of any better way to celebrate our first year in South Africa.  It was overwhelming when the team visited our Zola ministry.  It has been a great time for us to reflect on what God has shown me in the past year.  It is an uplifting experience to feel the love from my home church through the team. We sincerely thank you for your prayers and support for the past year.   
With love,
Abohna, Helen and Jung

WITH MANY WILLING HEARTS

fosWe have been eagerly praying to find a new site to build a new preschool.  We decided to build a preschool/church in Greenpoint.  The Onuri Church from Pusan came and finished the structure and the roof.  Then, the team from Calgary's Good Tree finished the walls.  The Good Tree team, Seattles's Compass team and Vancouver VKPC team collaborated together.  The concrete was poured on the floor, liner boards were installed, windows and doors installed and a large tree bearing fruit of the Spirit was painted.  Now we have nearly completed preschool/church building.  God has created an awesome building out of many willing hearts and your prayers from around the world.  I pray that he continues His ministry in this building in the same way with many more willing hearts.  Thank you for your prayers for our preschool construction.

LIVING FOR THE KINGDOM

vkpcAfter two days of hard work, VKPC team took a break after Sunday Worship in Madelabos church.  We went to an Indian restaurant in Cape Town and went to the nicest mall.  We had three members who came to South Africa for the first time.  During the reflection time they shared about how they felt that day.  One of them said that she was frustrated because she couldn't wait to work with the people in the townships to share the Gospel, and felt very out of place due to extreme contrast between the rich and the poor.  Another one shared that the sightseeing was very helpful, because she could understand South Africans in a broader context and the other girl shared that despite the situation in the townships, God's creation is still much more amazing and beautiful than what people has made.  All of them were busy thinking about Christ and His people all day.  I just told them that they did sightseeing "For the Kingdom."

ABUNDANT LIFE

alWhat is abundant life?  What do you have to be in this world for you to be able to say that you are living an abundant life?  While we were working on the Greenpoint building, Christine took a break to prepare for the Children's Church that was going to happen later that day.  She was coloring the story book they had made to share the story about Jonah.  Out of nowhere, three kids, showed up and started helping her.  After they joyfully finished coloring the story book, she used the story book to tell them about Jonah.  Maybe abundant life is nothing more than His help while we are doing His work and sharing the joy with others, especially when we can smile like her while we are living it out.  Now, how do we share it with people how great it is to live an abundant life?

BACK TO TRANSKEI
