Use; a means of accomplishing a purpose

Hey friends,

Another week of ministry in Daegu has left me overwhelmingly appreciative of the work God has done and is continuing to do in the lives of these people! This sunday I was told by a church member that 4 women that attend my weekday English class brought their husbands and children to church this sunday. Considering these women aren't believers, this was exciting news to know that God is using my simple English Class to create a curiosity in them for the community that is found in Jesus.

Also, theres been a woman who attends the English Bible Study that I've been leading every Saturday that I've been confused for the last couple weeks about. She's been attending this bible study for the last couple weeks yet doesn't speak or understand any english at all and hasn't been able to hear or participate in our discussions. This Saturday I decided to ask her (through a translator) why she should would want to come to an English Bible study when she clearly was unable to follow. She told me that when she first attended that she felt the kindness I had brought to her and the people in the group and that even though she couldn't understand what we were talking about, she could sense the atmosphere of depth and passion in our times that she was drawn to. I learnt that she was not even a Christian and didn't know anything about this bible and so, in a state of amazement, we as a group began to share the gospel with her and a basic understanding of the bible. I think this was a powerful time for all of us to be reminded of the simple reality that God, out of pure love, would create man and would want a relationship with him. The message of Jesus, the cross and the resurrection is the most beautiful story of the relentless love of a relentless Father and it was such a privilege to share this message and see the expressions of amazement in her eyes.

In the parable of the Prodigals Son there is captivating imagery of a Fathers refusal to give up on his Son. In spite the Son's destructive and selfish lifestyle, the Father (who has every right to disregard him) comes running from the distance in a state of uncontainable passion for his lost Son. In that moment the Son learns what unconditional love means...

I hope I can share more stories like these every week and that more people come to know the God who loves them without condition. What an honor to be used to shuttle this message to a world void of hope.

Because His love is better than life.
