At our English academy, I put together a weekly “reader.” It’s a chance for the highest level students to write journals and see rewards for their work. This past week included a journal from “David.” (His english name)…He wrote about God, and I know no theologian who could speak of God so simply and beautifully. [...]

Some of you might remember us talking about the prayer house headed up by our church, here in Cheonan. You can refresh your memory, here and here. A few years ago, I read and was deeply impacted by the book, Red Moon Rising by Pete Greig. It’s part-memoir, part-confession, part-theology, and part-action thriller, all packed [...]
Elizabeth’s Sermon
Posted in Adventures in Korea, Church, From "E", Prayer, Thoughts on February 6, 2011 | 2 Comments »
Today Korea Nazarene University had the honor of a fantastic guest-preacher. Josh and a crew are gone, starting today, for two weeks serving orphans and widows in Bangladesh. It’s a fantastic long-term partnership between our church and a mission for those cast out of society. With Josh being gone, Elizabeth brought the word this morning. [...]
Simply Christmas

Christmas just didn’t really feel like Christmas. Hard as I tried, the Korean Pop carols and Pandora Christmas stations just didn’t get me there. This week felt like every other week. It’s possible that being away from family was difficult, and maybe it was the fact that 3 days ago we had nearly 50 degree [...]

24/7 Prayer Room
Posted in Church, From "M", Pictures on December 8, 2010 | 2 Comments »
A couple of weeks back, I had the privilege to participate in the creation and action of a 24/7 prayer room. If you have not heard of such a room, you really should do some reading on it here. These sacred spaces are intended to bridge the ever-widening gap between a generation of techno-dependent 20 [...]
Swear Words
Posted in Books, Church, From "M", Korea Facts, Thoughts on September 15, 2010 | 2 Comments »
I was finishing up my class this evening when one of my students, Alicia (that’s her chosen English name) suddenly gasped. She said, “Teacher, those boys out in the hall are saying very, very bad words!!” I haven’t learned to swear in Korean, though, after today I probably should learn the key words in order [...]
