Mission Monday VI

08/07/2009

Speaker: Missionary Kang

Background: Central Asia/Ministry Director. Graduated from School of Dentistry in Seoul National University. Served in Uzbekistan for 10 years.
  • "The only way to change is to deny yourself."
  • He attended a huge missions conference recently for Chinese and Korean missionaries.
  • Many people had gathered to worship and pray together.
  • First, the Koreans were called to pray - they prayed standing up, some with hands raised, and in KM style
  • Next, the Chinese were called to pray - they prayed on their knees with tears; they prayed like their life was on the line
  • He was amazed at the difference in spirituality between those in the Chinese mission field and those elsewhere (what they've seen and experienced spiritually)
  • Man's thoughts vs. God's thoughts
  • After the fall, Adam was ashamed of being naked vs. God created him naked
  • Man begins to think things are sin, which were not before
  • Being weak is not a sin - "when I am weak, then I am strong"
  • God uses our weaknesses for His glory
  • Christians have a calling to abandon the world and be "life savers"
-------

He said many other things, but I was so into his storytelling (including some vague analogy to a Korean movie about a tsunami) that I didn't take good notes. I didn't fall asleep. I think.

...

The times they are a-changin'.
