The Progressiveness of the Bible
Jason Upton – Beautiful People I have heard different accusations against the Bible that is an just an old historical book that is outdated. Some people like to point out laws from Leviticus that seem odd or primitive in today’s culture. Recently the LBGT community has mocked the Bible’s laws against homosexuality by pointing out…
Beautiful People
Jason Upton – Beautiful People During a recent trip to America I met a Korean man with quite a past. His childhood was marred by abuse and rejection. His parents divorced when he was young and he was raised by his dad and his stepmother. His stepmother physically abused him and severely mistreated him. His…
What True Life and True Love Really Are…
Jon Thurlow – Mighty Hand The other day (4/14/13) I preached a message called “Stop Listening to Your Heart” at New Philadelphia Church, Itaewon. I consider it one of my stronger messages and highly recommend it (links are below). While researching for the message I learned a lot about the soul (our mind, will, and…
Are Retreats and Conferences Biblical?
Jon Thurlow – Mighty Hand “Are retreats and conferences biblical?” is a question that I have been asked a number of times. Many people I know who believe in God came to their faith through a retreat or a conference. The presence of God was thick in the place and they heard the voice of…
A Father’s Changed Heart
Hillsong Live – Mountains One of our full time volunteers, Jee Lee, has been serving with us since the summer of 2008. She came to Korea as a summer intern for a two month commitment, but during her internship God gave her a strong calling to quit her job in the States and remain in…

You’re not a Survivor, You’re a Deliverer!
Josh Garrels – Farther Along One of the things people usually hate to hear is, “It’s not just about you.” That statement usually causes the person hearing it to feel less important, humbled, and less special. Ironically though, that statement should actually propel us into a faith and a trust in God’s plans far beyond…
Responding to “Losses”
While Sky and I were in the States we went to the Korean embassy in DC to apply for a marriage visa which would allow me to live in Korea for a year. I had gotten this visa before with ease, but it had expired and I had to go through the application process again….
Our 5th Arts and Crafts Camp Video
This year we had 46 girls from 7 different children homes along with 54 volunteers/staff participate in our fifth annual arts and crafts camp. The camp was for three days and each morning we had all the volunteers line up in front of the entrance to welcome the kids. They entered one-by-one to all the…
Why Journal?
When I first arrived in Korea I started a daily journal on my computer. At least once a week for my quiet time I would type up journal entries for each day of the past week. My Journal 2006 document is 249 pages of single spaced 12 point font journal entries. Seems excessive, right? Perhaps,…
