Here, there are wonderful opportunities to meet with individuals or in small groups to study the Bible and have discipleship time, and just grow as brothers in the Lord. One such meeting we’ve been having lately is reading the Word at a coffee shop or a burger place (called Lotteria) with John, Mario, and Dave!
As you can remember, John is an American here serving the Lord as he works as an English teacher, and Mario is one of the Koreans here studying both the Bible and English, while Dave is here serving for the time being until he goes back to Okinawa! It was a cool time reading the Word and discussing it with all these guys! We read from John’s Gospel today!
Please continue to pray with me for wisdom regarding meeting with other Christians, as well as with non-believing friends, so that we can bring to Christ those who may not yet know the Lord, and build up those who have trusted in Him. May God by His boundless wisdom and grace provide the opportunity and the necessary care and compassion within!
Wow, thanks for the big update Jesse!
ReplyDeleteIt is a blessing to see the fellowship continue and familiar faces wanting to learn more from God's Word. Praise Christ.
Questions:
1.Where did you get your haircut, Iza?
2.Has Mario's English improved a lot?
3.How do the burgers at Lotteria compare to other fastfood?
4.So at Jinsoo you talk about the Bible study at the end, that is great. What has Mike L. been teaching?
5.Do you have discipleship with anyone else?
We're (us at CC Ginowan) praying for you Jesse, Iza, Dave, and Mikes.
Dean, I can answer some of these questions...
ReplyDelete2. Mario's English is improving. It's still difficult to communicate in English, but I do believe his English is improving!
3. Lotteria's burgers taste good--comparable to McDonald's, maybe? They have a cool burger called the BulSae Burger, or the beef/shrimp burger. That one is cool, because the patties are side to side.
4. Mike L. was teaching through Romans when he last did it, then we started doing this group thing.
5. I still meet with Peter on Saturdays, but so far, nothing else yet.
Keep rockin', Dean! Praying for you, too!
