• Before I get to more pictures, I have a prayer request.  Tomorrow night (morning your time) I will be sharing how I came to know God with the children at our Wednesday night service.  My friend Go Un will be translating for me.  Please pray for Go Un and I to be filled with the Spirit and that God would truly touch the childrens’ hearts.  Thank you!

  
  

  Last week I was able to attend the middle schoolers’ “graduation.”  In Korea, the school system goes 1st – 6th grade, 7th – 9th grade, and 10th – 12th.  The graduation basically consisted of the teachers of each class sharing some words and then giving the students their certificates and yearbooks.  Family and friends were gathered in the back of the classroom and outside it.

  Kot Nim in class (in the middle)… her friend was a little surprised at seeing a white guy there, as were most of the other people.

  This was an awesome opportunity for me to show these kids that I care about them.  It seemed to mean a lot to them.  They enjoyed using me as “show and tell” with their friends; I definitely was the only foreigner around.  I want to encourage you if you are a leader of any group to meet up with your members for lunch or to try and attend something that they do.  You’ll find it means a lot more to them then you think, and your time with them will encourage you too.  God is good!
