A Heavenly Family Member Whom We Never Gave Up Looking for

Many souls were led to Zion through the preaching festival in Brazil. Among them, I would like to share the stories of some brothers and sisters found in the 2nd São Paulo Church. A few days after the preaching festival started, I heard from a sister that she met Sister…

Like the Flower of Dracaena

It was when I went to my friend’s house back in my elementary school days. I was admiring a large variety of well-maintained flowering plants, and my friend pointed to a tall tree and said proudly, “Do you see this flower? It’s a flower of dracaena. It blooms once a…

Mother Is My Salvation

There is a sister whom I led to Zion. She was my age and very interested in the Bible. Once she started studying the Bible, it usually took a couple of hours. She also installed a Bible app on her smartphone and read it all in just a few days.…

With a Sense of Ownership

“The one with a sense of responsibility is the owner, and the one without it is a guest.” In the semester opening worship service, the words of Ahn Chang-ho, a Korean independence activist, echoed in my mind. If I take the initiative in whatever for the gospel with a sense…

The One Who Saves a Soul Saves the World

I met a Mongolian woman named Bolormaa, who came to Korea with her husband and was focusing on parenting as she had a year-old son. She looked very glad to meet us because she was going through a hard time raising her child alone in a foreign land with no…

First Fruit

‘I just need to keep my faith only!’ My long-lasting belief was broken during the last autumn feasts, which were more meaningful than ever before, because it was the Father’s 100th birth anniversary year. As I was celebrating the feasts, my fervor for preaching replaced my wrong idea. The first…

Go and Make Disciples

“Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.” Mt…

Holding My Grandmother’s Hand Tightly

My grandmother is 92 years old. Since I entered elementary school, my grandmother raised me and my younger brother. When I was young and immature, it seemed to me that my grandmother only cared about my brother. So I often rebelled against her rather than helping her, who was struggling…

The Most Beautiful Fruit in the World

A week after I received the truth, my dad too was blessed with a new life. To raise his three children all alone, my dad, who just farmed in the countryside, moved to a city and did all sorts of hard work like shipyard work and construction work. So when…

In Accordance with God’s Plan

“Have you ever heard about God the Mother?” “Yes!” This was the reply from a lady whom I preached to. I ask this question to whoever I meet. Most Colombians are Catholics and they mistakenly regard Mary the mother of Jesus as Heavenly Mother. I thought she too had the…

Overcoming Prejudice

One day, I was on my way to Zion with a sister to make preparations for the upcoming Sabbath day. Meanwhile, we came across a middle-aged lady waiting for her child in front of an elementary school. We approached her to deliver God’s word, yet thinking, ‘She’ll probably say she…

The Best Vacation

Every summer, my husband and I go for a two-day trip with his hometown friends and their wives. He’s had this trip with his friends for more than thirty years since before marriage. The ten families remember their childhood, traveling together around mountains and seas. My husband and his friends…

My Wish Was Granted

It was always my dream to preach overseas. My dream grew bigger and bitter whenever I heard the fragrance of Zion from young adults of my age that they bore many good fruits by preaching the gospel overseas in the scorching heat or piercing cold. However, the situation was not…

It Was So Close

Four years ago, the owner of a Chinese restaurant across from our Zion was changed. I wanted to deliver the words of truth to a new neighbor, but since he said he wasn’t interested in religion, I just briefly said hi to him. At the end of 2018, I visited…

Beautiful Steps to Preaching the Blessed News

We conduct a short-term mission every month to establish 300 gospel cities in Malaysia. To seize the blessed opportunity provided by God, many brothers and sisters volunteered, and our team went to Kluang District where the gospel hadn’t been preached at all. We gave thanks to God over and over…

Particularly, Hiroshima suffered a huge damage by the unprecedented heavy rain. Hiroshima is the largest city in the Chugoku and Shikoku regions in western Japan.…

The Best Gift on Mother’s Day

The second Sunday of May is a special day in the Philippines. It is Mother’s Day when all family members gather to express love to their mother. On this day, a family event was going to be held at the Mandaluyong Zion. I wanted to invite my family to this…

To the Southernmost Part of Japan

Japan is a long island country with four main islands and countless islands around them. Kyushu is the most southerly among its four main islands. And about two hours by plane from Kyushu, there is a little island called Okinawa in the very southernmost part of Japan. Right now, one…

With Father and Mother’s Protection

Portugal where I stayed for a year for the mission work is a very peaceful place. The people there, living comfortable lives, were not interested in God’s word. However, there were still God’s children among them. One day, I was preaching near a bus stop when a young mom came…

People of Amazon Returned into Mother’s Arms

“The Spirit and the bride say, ‘Come!’ And let him who hears say, ‘Come!’ Whoever is thirsty, let him come; and whoever wishes, let him take the free gift of the water of life.” Rev 22:17 The Bible says that whoever wants can receive the water of life that the…
