Today was my first time at a Korean church. I’ve been blessed each time I attend my dear Korean caregroup. Here is the man that brought me to the caregroup, his name is Ji-hoon.
After a few wrong turns and a huge U-turn in a empty parking lot, I finally found myself at the carpark of Perth Full Gospel Church. While walking into service I could hear the sweet sounds of praise led by my brother Ji-hoon, they were singing Friend of God by Israel Houghton.
I was there slightly early and caught my friends practising before the actual service. It was a unique and beautiful sight because amongst the Korean worshippers was an African lady and she had a beautiful alto voice! Only in God’s family do you see people of different nations, language and colour join in one song. The love for God and his people overcomes these barriers.
At one point during worship, I had felt a certainty that God was in our midst and was simply relishing in God’s presence and Ji-hoon confirmed it by saying some words along those lines! God is good!
We sang Be Still for the Presence of the Lord and time was given for us to wait on God and felt God speaking to me with Philippians 1:6. Just as worship was coming to a close, the congregation was given a chance to speak what God had placed on their hearts and I went ahead took the mic and read the verse! I thank God for speaking to me, I thank God that he speaks even today!

“The credibility of the God’s gospel does not depend on man’s fame. The truth stands on its own.”
I like! Amen to that =)
