My Schedule for 2017
My wife, Lynette, and I got married on Monday, March 23, 1992. My first son, Enoch, was born on July 26, 1993 in Watertown, MA. We drove a Budget moving truck with our 1989 white Honda Accord towed behind it for 1,870 miles and moved down from Boston to Houston arriving on Saturday, December 3, 1994 to serve at Seoul Baptist Church as an English speaking pastor. My wife was about five months pregnant and I was 30 years old then. Caleb, my second son, was born on April 19, 1995. In just 22 months later, my third son, Josiah, was born on February 11, 1997. We ...
God is good! All the time!
This year’s fall retreat was so good, wasn’t it? I liked every aspect of the retreat.
During our Six Day Early Morning Prayer (EMP) in October, we specifically prayed to God for the weather, that it will be around 70s during the day and 50s in the night. God very accurately answered our prayers on this. God is good!
We prayed for traveling mercy and safety. Other than one person having a flat tire at the camp, I haven’t heard anyone getting into an accident. God is good!
The facility is just amazing! I like the layout at Camp Allen. Everything seems to be ...

Pray for Churches in South Africa
We have been praying as a church that God will use New Life as a resource church in helping other churches to become a church in the spirit of the New Testament. This means we make ourselves available which includes our time, money and relationships.
About a year ago, there was an invitation from Missionary Enoch Lee in Johannesburg, South Africa for me and my wife to come and teach them about house church particularly to those churches whose pastors and wives attended our Pastors’ Seminar last year. He asked me to bring one shepherd couple along with me who can share ...
One Church, Two Congregations
Today is the day of speaker exchange for our church between SBC and NLF. Therefore, I want to provide some explanations of our church system of two congregations of two languages.
One of the important principles of our church is two congregations in one church. In other words, Houston Baptist Church of Houston is made of two congregations; one is English speaking and the other is Korean speaking. The division is by language regardless of race.
Most Korean churches in the US call an English speaking congregation as an English ministry. This word implies that ...
For Prayer to be a Blessing
I wrote about prayer two weeks ago and I want to add some more thoughts. The preparation of the person who will deliver public prayer is important. However, there is another facet which is equally important. It is the attitude of the congregation who is listening the prayer. This attitude is so crucial that it can govern the level of blessings from the prayer.
In an American group, during prayer, it is common to hear responses of congregation to the public prayer with exclamations like ‘Um ~’, ‘Oh, yes.’ Or ‘Amen’. The group is responding to each ...
When God Comes To Us
God seeks us. Whenever men encounter God, it is always because God seeks him and not the other way around. That is why bible says God held out his hands to people all day long. (Isaiah 65:2)
The first reason that God seeks us is because of His love for us. People often think that salvation is something that we need to earn. Therefore, manmade religion claims that to receive salvation, we need to have an enlightening experience, accumulate enough suffering to achieve good or do something to win it. That is not true. God’s desire to save us is much ...
