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'.
