John-Michael Has Arrived!

Raised in Florida, straight from CCBC Okinawa, John-Michael arrived in Korea to come and help out at the church alongside the rest of us. As I’ll be heading back to California shortly, he’ll be helping out by leading worship and doing bible studies, and all the rest of the ministry we do here. He’ll be here for December and January, then plans to head back to Okinawa for another semester of Bible College!

It is wonderful, for God provided for us a worship leader while I’m out of the neighborhood. The Lord always provides for our needs, in His timing and in His way. It’s always important to give thanks.

John-Michael’s forte? It’s piano! (no pun intended.) It’s actually been a blessing to be able to have him play piano with us during worship—it really adds an extra element, beyond just guitar, cahon, and voice.

We took him hiking his first or second night here up on the hill. It was really dark, but still a little visible, and fun!

Here he had to give us a convincing speech to persuade us how useful he’d be. His daily food rations would be calculated according to how well he convinced us. We do this for every newcomer.

Just kidding! He gave a small devotion for us on Saturday as preparation for some bible studies he’ll do here.

May the Lord bless you, John-Michael, and guide you by His Spirit as you lead the church in worship, and serve Him in all things in Korea! May He build you and use you to bless and build up others in the most holy faith.
