Reunited!
Minhee had to return to Korea just a week after coming back from Korea. She went to Korea last month because her mom had suffered four broken ribs after a small fall. A week after coming back to Seattle, her mom was experiencing great pain and discovered she had broken her back. It wasn't part of the plan but we had to cancel her trip to Paris with us and she rushed to Korea. Long story short, her mom had back surgery (her 2nd) and amazingly, she took some of her first steps this past week. She's 80 and like many people of her generation in Korea, suffers from osteoporosis due to malnutrition but she's determined to finish her race with flourishing.
These have been challenging times - especially for Minhee. The distance between Seattle and Seoul have never seemed so far like these past few weeks.
Grateful for all your prayers and grateful to be reunited with my wife. Together, we are bracing ourselves for the seasons to come.
Thank you, @seattlequest, for your generosity in helping fund and help build these "tiny homes" for vulnerable women in Seattle that are struggling with homelessness. There's something compelling about an imperfect, local church that seeks to be the hands and feet of Christ.
Most importantly, pray for the women (and sometimes, their babies or children) that will be living in these transitional homes. May they know that they matter - to God but also to their fellow neighbors.
If you're interested in making a donation to support the work of The Bridge Care Center (our homeless ministry), furnishings for these homes, or interested in coming alongisde these women in relationships, send me a message and I'll connect you to our team.
God is so gracious.
A Korean immigrant proclaiming the Gospel at the American Church in Paris, France - made up of people from over 50 countries. It's all grace.
In the 3rd picture, you'll notice the church is just on the left side of the Eiffel Tower.
Now all glory to God, who is able, through his mighty power at work within us, to accomplish infinitely more than we might ask or think. - Ephesians 3:20
