Support Church Web Board
Our church has many remarkable cultures. One of them is a fine web board culture. It’s hard to find a web board that is better disciplined and warmer than our own in this world. Everyone writes their posts in their real names, shares writings of encouragement and regards one another. Even though it’s not controlled by a membership, we hardly get odd postings.
It has become like this mainly because Pastor Chai put in a lot of effort into shaping that kind of web culture. Pastor Chai had a strong belief that the internet could contribute to cultivating the gracious ...

A Strange Anti-Discrimination Bill
Recently, a new “anti-discrimination bill” became an issue in Korea. 66 Congressmen drafted and proposed this bill, and their intention was to protect the rights of the minorities. It sounds very good, but in fact it includes some serious issues. For example, this bill defines discrimination as any inequitable treatment based on religion, philosophy, sexual orientation, gender identity, or any other reasons. So, if a church refuses to hire a homosexual pastor or staff, or if a church teaches that homosexual behavior is a sin, it can be punished under this bill. The ...
Update on My Eyes
Many of you are aware that I had another retinal detachment surgery two weeks ago when we had our annual Crawfish Boil. Since I have asked you and your children to pray for me to have a good recovery, I would like to share with you an update on my eyes.
My right eye, for which I had scleral buckle surgery on February 19, is healing okay. Even though I see many floaters and the detached vitreous constantly moving in my eye, which makes my vision blurry, the good news is that after two months of surgery, the retina remains attached. According to the doctor, there is a ...
Unjustly treated Christians
Someone encountered following happening recently. The company where he was working hired a Jewish employee recently. This person claimed that he could not work on Saturdays because it was a Sabbath. So he thought to himself, “It will not work here. There will be no way they will allow this.” This is because when he started to work there and told them that he could not work on Sunday because he was a Christian, he was told, “I don’t care.” He thought the Jewish employee would be treated same but the same manager told others that this new employee should be ...

And this year, we have more pastors coming from overseas; our attendees come from total of 20 countries including Korea. Some ...
사무장 Kwang-Woo Park is retiring
사무장 Kwang-Woo Park is preparing to retire from his position. As you already know, he is 75 years old. He was a vice president in charge of procurement at Arco Oil Company but took early retirement to serve as a personal secretary for Pastor Young-Gi Chai. Then, from 2003 and on, he took on the role of 사무장 and has worked at this church for 10 years without pay. In fact, he could have retired last August when Pastor Chai retired but served 1 more years for me to minimize any transition shock for this church.
Mr. Park does an ...
