life is happening

We had our "beautiful young women" (that's not actually our name, but it's still true) life group tonight in Suji at Kelli's apartment. A new girl came, the sister of our translator, Koh. It was really good to have her. Three of the girls from the summer team came back, too, plus our four regulars. We're talking about a different type of spiritual discipline every week from one of Richard Foster's books. This week, we talked about the Holy Spirit and what He is sent by the Father to do in us. Pretty cool stuff. I love meeting with these girls, but I just want us to be able to open up and really share and allow God to transform our lives. Right now, it's two Korean girls and the rest of us are Americans or Canadians. I also want us to be a group that reaches out to the people in the neighborhood to draw people into community. Pray with me about that.

We have one more service at Yatap, then we are going to combine our two services. (We've been having them in two different spots.) We feel like we are supposed to concentrate on one area and really build community there, so we are going to stay with the area near the original team apartment, where Donnie, Shannon, Scott and Jimbob still live, for most of our ministry. It should be pretty freeing to be back to one service. We won't feel so pulled into too many directions. Most of the people at Yatap are going to be able to come to Suji anyway. I went to order new business cards for our new location today and we are going to get some signs and flyers up this week, too. Exciting stuff! The summer team is going to be really helpful in getting the word out, too.
