We were moved to tears at the testimony of Gyeong Joo Song, an 18 year old high school student. She had grown up in North Korea as her father worked for Kim Jong Il. At the age of 6 her family became political refugees and escaped to China. In China her parents became believers in Jesus and her father eventually returned to North Korea to bring Bibles and the good news back to North Korea. He was arrested and has not been heard from, and is presumed dead. Her mother passed away in China to leukemia. Gyeong Joo ended up in South Korea where she came to accept Jesus as her savior and now wants to return to North Korea to share the gospel with the people that have most likely killed her father. With a firm faith in a heavenly father she is living out "God in Christ reconciling the world to himself." What an amazing testimony from an amazing young woman living out reconciliation in its purest form. Clearly the highlight of the week thus far.

Praying for you, our own church's delegate (Bruce Huseby), and the Conference, that it would have long lasting benefits for the cause of Christ.
Thanks for the updates! A number of us are going up to GCTS for the Globalink on Friday and Saturday.
