Church in Korea

Yay! The day had finally come where we were going to church! I can not even describe how excited we were. We had to wake up super early – 7:30am, which is the same time we have to wake up for a workday, but it was totally worth it! After waking up super early, we headed to the bus station hoping for a bus that would get there in time. The service started at 11am. We were so happy to catch the 9:15 bus. We would be there a little early but it worked out perfectly! After the 1 hour bus ride, we arrived in Suncheon, and took a taxi to the church. 

We had no idea where to go really…so luckily we ran into a foreigner from India. He explained to us that we were in the wrong building and that the English church met somewhere else (that could have been bad). So, we followed him and immediately were welcomed into the church. We met so many people who lived in different parts of Korea and were also from different parts of the world! It was awesome. 

The church/room was a small room with basic chairs, nothing fancy and could hold maybe 100 people max, but it was just what we needed. Worship and the Message were all in English so it was wonderful :) The most beautiful aspect of the day was sitting in a room and knowing that people were all from different parts of the world but yet praising the same God. I can not even explain how amazing that felt. It’s amazing to think that God has no boundaries. Even though we all knew English in the room… it’s awesome to think that God knows every language. As well, He created all of us. As you look around you see people from all over yet He made us in His image. How neat is that? :)

Needless to say, church was inspiring in so many ways. We are so excited to go back!
