With China just to our west and Japan eyeing Korea from the east sea, we have endured centuries of war and politics. We have been influenced by China, Japan, traders, and other cultures. We look to our history, architecture, political systems, religions, and even musical instruments. As Koreans, we adapted things and made them our own. We have had other countries impose their culture and language on Korea. Against these intrusions and problems, we struggled to maintain our language and cultural identity.

Korea faced years of military confrontation and many lives lost have been lost over time in Korea. But Korea survived. From the ashes, our people have built a unique and strong industrial state with a high standard of living. In Korea, we have confronted the problems of life. We have demonstrated the willingness to transform Korea with new ideas, hope and faith.

We have no greater hope than in our future in Jesus Christ. We can more than overcome through Jesus Christ.

Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your request to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard you heart and minds in Christ Jesus.
Philippians 4:6-7

For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with out weaknesses, but one who has been tempted in every way, just as we are-yet was without sin. Let us then approach the throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need.
Hebrews 4:15-16

The Lord is my rock, my fortress, and my deliver; my God is my rock, in whom I take refuge.
Psalm 18:2

God is love. 1 John 4:8
