It all started on Monday morning when I got up before work to spend time with God. During prayer I was immediately prompted to pray for my buddies Manassa (Fijian guy) and Chris (Korean guy)((See picture^); two guys who I did my bible school in Taiwan with and who had invested, encouraged and inspired me in my heart for worship. During our bible school Manassa had suggested that I come to South Korea and serve the church he had been and planned to return to. This invitation intrigued me as I had, in my last few years of being in missions developed a heart for the Korean people and was inspired by their passion and depth of intimacy with God. ((Korea is the fastest growing Christian nation in the world and is quickly becoming the biggest sender-outer of missionaries out into the world.)) God is doing something amazing in Korea and I have been dreaming of the day when I would be able to come and be a part of it. Anyways, back to my monday morning right..After praying for these guys I turned on my computer to check my email and lo and behold there was an email from Manassa inviting me once again to come and serve this church in South Korea. The invitation would involve me contributing to the church in the area's of leading worship, teaching english and speaking at bible studies. I can't explain the ecstacy of that moment where it seemed like God was confirming this dream and showing me a glimpse of an opportunity to serve once again overseas...Now, after waiting an eternity (a week...) of knowing when I would be going go Korea I know now that I will be heading there following my School of Worship in Montana. On top of these exciting opportunities I have just recently given the priviledge of being one of the worship leaders at my church. I believe that this experience will stretch my growth musically and in leadership. I hope to invest my remaining time in Canada to this commitment and pray that God would bring a spiritual depth and intimacy as our church grows in making Worship more than 4 songs at church but a posture of our lives.
