What's Happening!

We are into day three of the Impact Evangelism School here in Korea. We have 13 awesome students who are really switched on and five staff who are also amazing. They know they have been called to bring IWT in to their nation, and it seams to me that each one possesses a steady confidence that is visible. With their families and our staff members, our IWT presence is sitting at 25 people on the University of the Nations campus. Out of 300 staff members, Josh, myself and Rohal, (Rachel in Japanese) are the foreigners. We stick out like sore thumbs. However, we are picking up a little bit of Korean here and there. Our days here have been really full. We start at 8:00 am and have returned home around 9:00pm. Josh has been teaching everyday, so on top of the jet lag, he is exhausted….but doing a great job. We are seeing the Holy Spirit move in power amongst the staff and students It’s so awesome to see the hunger. We are teaching through an interpreter which I am learning is a real talent. I shared this morning and I found it really challenging – so go Josh!

On the fun side of things, last night we went to a Korean BBQ restaurant. We sat with two of our Korean staff members, Chris and Sun Yung and they taught us what to do. We grabbed plates full of marinated Australian beef (yes South Korea is still banning US beef, and the bird flue has eliminated chicken from the menu), pork and vegetables. Then we turned on the BBQ hot plate that sits into the table. After a lot of sizzling, the meat came off the pit. Then we wrapped it and the vegetables in lettuce. It was delicious. For the Americans reading this, think the lettuce wraps at Chili’s and PF Changs, but with more variety. Besides the food, getting to know our staff and gaining insight into Korean culture was awesome. We’re really enjoying it here, and we know God has us here for a purpose.
