We Interviewed Workers Who Accomplished Revival in Their Mission or Parish during the Last Year and Asked Their Wishes for the New Year 2010.

"I hope to carry out God-given duties successfully with a good heart"

Deaconess Yunsook Ryu

# "During the year 2009, our group members experienced spiritual growth along with revival by proclaiming that we would send out the aroma of goodness. As a result, I was blessed to be appointed as a senior group leader this year. Of course, I attribute this to our members' help with offerings and their hearts and also to the support of my husband who prepared refreshments for group meetings.
I hope that I can carry out my God-given duty well as the Senior Group Leader of 1-4 Women's Mission by accomplishing a better heart. In addition, I want to become an excellent wife who makes a happier family by supporting my husband well and evangelizing my husband's family."

"I hope to be with those who are neglected and discouraged"

Deacon Euljong Kim

# "I am so much happy because God poured joy and happiness in my heart as I bore the fruit of revival. Those who climb a mountain say they feel exhausted while going up the mountain, but they feel overwhelming happiness when they reach the summit.
For me it is much the same when visiting members. The joy of serving and sharing that we gain while visiting members can't be found anywhere else. My God-given duty as the President of 2-4 Men's Mission last year was a blessing.
In this new year, I want to visit the members more diligently and share both the joys and sadness with those who are wondering, who are neglected and those who are discouraged without knowing the truth,."

"I will make sure I read one chapter of the Bible and memorize one verse every day"

Sister Hae-eun Ahn

# "I didn't read the Bible very often with the excuse that I was too busy. Time passed while I just thought 'I should no longer put off reading the Bible.' Because I didn't study the word of God, taking care of group members sometimes seemed difficult. I make up my mind that I arm myself with words to carry out God-given duties well as the President of the 2nd Young Adults' Mission. I want to be able to memorize the Bible verses carried on the weekly bulletin and read at least one chapter of the Bible every day despite my busy schedule. And I will also try to meditate on various messages preached during services and thereby eat spiritual bread. It won't be demanding or difficult at all if I keep trying to move toward these goals. I pray to the Lord that I might keep my resolutions without changing."

"I want my family to become more united as one through family worship"

Deaconess Haesook Lee

# "I don't think that it should be that difficult to become a good and thoughtful wife and kind-hearted mother in the family.
The reason is because we are already changing into good children of God day by day with the word of life, prayer and teachings of the shepherd. We are trying to accomplish happy families in the Lord though they might not be perfect in God's sight right now. So we keep praying to become a family that is pleasing to God. In this New Year, we want to become more united as one by sharing the Lord's love with one another through family worship.
I want to commit our family to the Lord so that He can directly lead our family. Also, I wish to take care of the lovely cell members as the Cell Leader of 22nd Parish.
I want to bear the fruit of evangelism by giving out the aroma of Christ in my workplace."

"I wish to pray fervently attending Daniel Prayer Meeting"

Deaconess Myungsook Park

# "In 2009 it was the year of comprehensive blessing. We had revival of the sub-district where I had charge, my husband was ordained as an elder, we had material blessing and our children received blessings in both spirit and in flesh.
All of this was the grace of the Lord and an answer to my prayer offered through the Daniel Prayer Meeting we attend from 9 PM to 11:40 PM every night. I shed many tears receiving much grace in prayer. For I know that God knows about everything and answers our prayer, I'd like to diligently attend Daniel Prayer Meeting and pray more fervently in this New Year. I will try to arrive earlier at the church and prepare with prayer before Daniel Prayer Meeting starts.
I want to pray with faith and love until the meeting finishes with the Lord's Prayer. I also wish to accomplish more than threefold revival as the Sub-district Leader of 13th Parish, not only accomplishing sanctification, but being faithful in all God's house."

"I want to become hands and feet of the members with transportation service"

Elder Kiho Kim

# "Even though I am busy with my work, I am delighted and happy for I can take care of the district members. The 23rd Parish covers Goyang and Paju of Gyeonggi Province.
Because they are far away from the church, it's necessary to transport members to the church. This serves as an 'ark of salvation' to members who are old or crippled. I made up my mind to lead a more diligent life in this New Year.
The more I sacrifice myself, the happier members will become, and when I share love and serve others, God pours joy and happiness 100 times more upon me.
And I am thankful to God for blessing me that my van can be used in salvation of souls.
In this New Year, I hope that I become hands and feet to members with transportation service as a district leader and thereby members' faith grows more and more."
