Well....this time next week we will be in Cheju Island, South Korea. Yep it's been a crazy week at the Coles place which has tested every ounce of faith and strength in us. However, we have held our course, and God has come through in the 11th hour, or I should really say "1 minute to midnight". Neither of us have been to Korea, and Misty has never stepped foot into Asia, so it will be a first for both of us. I'm just glad I have spent 7 years in Singapore, and know the Asian culture relatively well, all though I'm sure Korea has some major differences.
We feel it's going to be a significant time as we pioneer a major evangelistic thrust through the nation, which we pray will awaken the youth (not exlusively of course) to the reality of life with God, knowing him as He really is.
It's going to be a jam packed. We arrive on the 1st of July and the course begins that evening. Josh is teaching the first of the 6 weeks, so it will be hitting the ground running and then some. We have 13 students for the IES, all Korean.
A wild ride is no doubt in store; Interesting tastes, smells, sights, and experiences as well. Keep posted for more thoughts, photos and stories from the "Honeymoon Island". However....this is garunteed to be no "honeymoon".
