GLDI - Global Leadership Development Institue 6/23-26

Wow, what a powerful institute!
I'm so honored to take part in impacting future servant leaders at GLDI.
This is my second time teaching at GLDI. This time, my wife Janet got a chance to mentor them as well. I've enjoyed every moment connecting with the students and watching them transform into Christ's likeness.

Summer 2010 Ministries: NSC Korean Youth Retreat 6/10-12

Praise God for the opportunity to speak at NSC Korean-Speaking Youth Retreat.
I've been wanting to connect with the Korean-Speaking Youth at NSC. Even though GHC and NSC share the same facility, we hardly get chances to get to know each other. So I took the opportunity to connect with them.
To my surprise, almost all of them spoke/understood English very well. Some of them were born in the U.S.
In any case, I was blessed to see many of them rededicate their lives to God! It was amazing to see them fired up for God.

Rhema the 7-year-old Gospel Singer

I recently met an amazingly talented girl - Rhema Marvanne, a 7-year-old Gospel signer. Even though Rhema lost her mom to cancer last year, she still sings boldly for the glory of the Lord. Her singing has already touched hundreds of thousands of lives, giving hope and encouragement to those who are discouraged. Rhema was at GHC last Sunday and sang "Amazing Grace" beautifully. I hope that the Lord would protect her heart and mind so that she will always remember why the Lord has given her the singing talent. I really like the statement that she made on the Maury Povich show on 5/25/2010: "When I'm not singing, I'm just a regular 7-year-old...."
This picture (Rhema eating Korean Rib "Kalbi") was taken at a Korean Restaurant.

National Day of Prayer - Our privilege and responsibility!

What an honor and privilege it is to pray for our nation! It is also our duty as believers. 1 Tim. 2:1-3 "I urge, then, first of all, that requests, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for everyone - for kings and all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness. This is good, and pleases God our Savior...."
A good number of GHC people came out to pray for our nation on Thursday, 5/6, 2010. For America to change, individuals must change. Therefore, we first humbled ourselves before God and confessed our sins. Then, we prayed for the leaders of this country: for humility, wisdom, holiness, and the fear of God. Our children had their own prayer meeting, lifting up this nation to the Lord.

Do Justice Dallas on 4/25/2010

It was truly a blessing to see 5 churches come together to serve our community on 4/25/2010!
My daughters had a lot of fun serving as well. Our group was assigned to volunteer at Young Life Ministries. When we (5 adults and 4 children) got there, Anita Odom (the Coordinator) welcomed us and prayed in tears. At her request, we cleaned and organized the main closet at the center. I'm thankful for the opportunity for us to be Jesus' hands and feet! To find out more about Do Justice Dallas, you can go to: http://dojusticedallas.org/

A Powerful Message by P Min Chung (CFC)

Pastor Min Chung (CFC) spoke a powerful message at GHC on 4/11/2010. The title of the message was "Wounds to Scars" based on Isa. 53. When you are wounded, you will likely hurt others. Jesus can heal you and turn your wounds to scars. Scars are a reminder of your past wounds. Scars don't hurt anymore. You will be able to help others who are wounded (To see this sermon video, go to GHC website (www.ghcdallas.org) and click on "Sermon."

After the service, we toured the new Cowboys Stadium (a GIGANTIC TV.... cost $40 million). Everything about the stadium was impressive (over 800 concession stands, over 1500 toilets, over 3,000 flat/HD TV's, etc.). This impressive stadium is still nothing compared to the universe that our Heavenly Father created!

IN2 Church, NY

This week, I will be speaking at IN2 Church, NY (Crosswalk Ministries).
When Pastor Marc Choi called me and asked me if I can speak at their retreat, I gave my usual response - "I need to pray about it." At first, I told him that it will be hard because I didn't want to miss Sunday at my church. When he told me that the theme of the retreat was "Even Now," I knew that this was God's assignment for me to speak His message of repentance in the NY area.

About six months ago, at the JAMA board meeting, I introduced the song "Even Now," based on Joel 2 (Pastor Marc was present). Since then, the Lord has been opening up doors to share the message of repentance and restoration out of Joel 2. The message was first preached at our church (Global Harvest Church) and was spoken at Memphis (TN), Champaign (IL), and in Germany. I simply obeyed and spoke what God has laid upon my heart.
I believe God is about to send His revival. What is our part? To humble ourselves and return to God! The word "repent" means "to turn" - turn from our evil ways and turn to God.
