In 2025, we plan to establish a formal structure within the English congregation.
First, please pray that young adult Mokjas would be raised within our church. Ideally, young adult Mokjas should have completed the ‘Living Life’ curriculum and received ‘baptism’. They should also cherish the Mokjang ministry. Please pray that young adult Mokjas who are willing to devote themselves to God’s Kingdom will be raised. I am planning to continue the English Living Life curriculum for this reason.
Secondly, please pray that we can find an English congregation minister who will care of our English congregation. For the time being, Hanmaum Church needs to invite an English congregation minister from outside the church. However, it has gotten increasingly difficult to find an English congregation minister, and even if we could find one, it is even harder to find someone who fits our church. I believe that we should make this decision with great care and caution, making sure not to rush the process. It is better not to have someone than just hire anyone we run into. We need a lot of your prayers.
At the same time, there is an ongoing prayer that we cannot give up, which is to raise an English congregation minister within our Hanmaum church. Raising someone as a servant of God is a time consuming, and its entire journey must be governed by the absolute grace of God that no one can foresee. However, at the same time, it is also a very blessed experience as well. I pray that one day, Hanmaum Church would be able to experience such blessing.
Following the shepherd…
