Korea Final


Komsomneda.... Is my poor translation of thank you in Korean. Thank you for praying for this trip.

I often bring a gift to pastors from the Northwest. This time I brought apple butter made from Hood River apples. The Lord always gives me a prophetic application to accompany the gift and this trip was no exception. Last fall Pastor David and his family visited an apple orchard where the Lord said I will give you a new understanding of fruitfulness and as you walk through the apple orchard I know that you are my delight. Little did I know that when I presented this gift they were shocked and filled with joy that the Lord would confirm their word through the gift from the Northwest. We all rejoiced!










Sunday evening I spoke at Seoul City Church. Very often I am privileged to pray and bless older saints who faithfully prayed for many years for their country and their families.










Very often I am mistaken for Bill Clinton. Sometimes even school children will ask for my autograph and I will sign Jesus loves you.... Love Bill Clinton. Pastor Joshua Cho of Seoul City Church thought that was hilarious! He had a copy of Bill Clinton's book in his library.













Komsomneda.... Is my poor translation of thank you in Korean. Thank you for praying for this trip. My last assignment before my 26 hour flight to Chicago (family wedding, rest and reunion) was to a small town 3 hours south of Seoul that is known for its ginseng products. We prayed and met with leaders in a factory who are beginning to manufacture ginseng based drinks that promote healing and provide business opportunities for missionaries in many parts of the world. And it actually is good!  (4 photos)

Korea 2


Friends:
Following is a summary of Facebook posts. Thank you for praying!!

Daddy loves you! This video illustrates what I have been speaking to Koreans throughout my visit. There's a desperation to hear the father's voice and his heart. This little boy underwent surgery to implant a new device in his brain and the first voice be heard was his fathers love for him. So it is with us as we let God transform our mind and renew it to let us hear the father's voice for the first time: daddy loves you!

Amazing moment deaf three-year-old boy hears for the first time
Deaf three-year-old Grayson hears his father's voice for the first time after surgery in the US. Report by Genelle Aldred.

Yes this is true you are looking at a burrito stuffed with chicken nuggets and lots of carrots and lettuce. Wonderful Korean creativity! Spoke today in the youth service and at the seminary on Isaiah 40. I believe Korea reflects the character and nature of renewed strength found in the Eagle. The seminary President had this beautiful print of the Eagle in his office.









Appreciate prayers for 3 important meetings tomorrow. Will meet with Bhojraj Bhatta and his wife tomorrow. He is a pastor from Nepal with a vision for Kingdom multiplication throughout his nation. Following that I have a three hour session with a group of pastors and professors from a theology seminary followed by preaching at my dentist's church which is literally 20 feet from his dental chair. He has a church in the dental office where I spoke last time.
Will simply tell stories of Gods passion and love for us.

Seoul South Korea is noted for its wide and excellent cuisine for the discriminating palette. Had my choice of the following 2 menu items. Decided to Burger King it. Having it my way.







37 years ago today and we're still singing together! Happy Anniversary baby although in Korea halfway around the world my heart is never far from you.






























Shared for several hours with a group of seminary students who have a humble but huge vision for Korea's destiny and impact throughout the world. They have a special heart for North Korea. I have worked in partnership with these leaders for many years. Good to know relationships last!





















Finally, a brief history of my last 11 years of ministry in Korea. Please do not comment on the pictures from 2003. Yes this is really me.
Gathering this afternoon with 7 pastors who are interested in doing church differently. Will just share stories of God's faithfulness in the adventure of stepping off our map.





















All over Korea on the city streets you will find hundreds of what I call prophetic booths. There's such a strong desire for Koreans to understand who they are and what their purpose and identity. Everywhere I go there is such a strong hunger for significance. The Holy Spirit desires to release a full and refreshing revelation of who the Father is to this nation.

















Leadership and worship at Shalom Staff. These believers are place a high priority on worship. I encouraged them to let the Holy Spirit release the song in them.... the fullness of all they are as an object of God's great delight! (4 photos)







During the evening service I shared out of John 1.... In the beginning was the Word.
One of the women in the church has family in North Korea and just a few days ago heard that her mother, father, brother have all died of starvation in the last week. Some of the leaders in the church and myself gathered around to support her and pray for her after the service. I will see her tomorrow again, and I wonder if any of you have words of encouragement for her? She is a godly woman and serves faithfully in the church yet she believes this tragedy can be a testimony of Gods mercy and love.
Just leave comments for "Mary" and I'll read them to her tomorrow.

Gathering at the Miller's


After a 26 hour flight from Seoul Korea through Japan, Vancouver British Columbia, and eventually Chicago, I joined Carlene for a very special family wedding and extended family vacation. For the first time all of our children and their spouses were in attendance at their cousin Jon's Wedding celebration.

We often describe relationships as being the most important value in our life, and I believe that is true. We had the joy of being together with my folks, all my siblings, and many of their children. We reunited with my 87 year old favorite Aunt Dorothy who took me, my brother Ken, and my cousin Bruce on our first adventure 50 years ago to the Black Hills of South Dakota.

She gave me a great gift: a sense of adventure and love of travel. We laughed together, played games, ate too much, and even had an old fashion hymn sing.

At 4 p.m. at the Millers farm in Corbett, we want to do much of the same.We want to eat together, and share stories about what the Lord has accomplished these last weeks. Isn't that a good description of "church"?

Here are the particulars:

Bring your own meat to grill on our barbecue
Bring an additional picnic dish.... salad dessert whatever
Will begin gathering at 4 p.m. and let the Lord lead the entire evening
Beverages, watermelon, and all utensils will be provided
Directions to Millers  37501 E Knieriem Corbett, OR

We look forward to being together and celebrating life!
