Friday night worship at Yewon is alway less formal, and more contemporary in nature. Yesterday was no exception! Pastor Chung thought it would be fun to remember some children's worship songs, complete with gestures. So after he demonstrated one, he had all the Elders come forward to do the same. No, they are not saying "Heil Hitler"! In fact the song is a missions song talking about the directions we go spreading the Gospel, "north, south, east & west". So we all enjoyed watching the elders, but then our fun turned to shock and surprise, when Pastor Chung called us up to join the fun. Not knowing the song, or the gestures, we did our best. Friedhelm got behind a gesture or two, and then he improvised, rubbing his tummy with one hand and patting his head with the other. That got a smile and a very robust laugh from nearly 1500 very happy Korean worshippers! We are not here to teach the Koreans anything they don't already know. We are here to make a difference and help them to enjoy the blessings of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. And that is a "fun" mission!
