Good morning, welcome to Seoul Bible Church. It is a joy to see you this morning. As you descended the steps this morning, you may have noticed things looked a little bit differently, different. Some of you came laden with heavy burdens of food for our fellowship meal. I looked in and saw tables that were filling with food and we'd have to be quick today. It looked yummy. You took a look to the right and you saw there was a special table out there with a globe and some other information. There were Korean, English, German, Spanish Bibles. There was a note about how Around the world, there are many languages without the Bible in their own language. And you notice there is a prayer letter in Korean and in English for Dr. Park. So today we will hear more about the need for Bibles in people's heart languages. And the work Dr. Park is doing to meet that need. And then as you turned and passed that table and entered our worship area here, you saw three tables filled with letters that you need to fill up with messages for our missionaries. So write a message to our missionaries, whether wishing them a Merry Christmas, Happy New Year, or whatever the Lord has laid on your heart to share with them. There are other announcements that you can feel free to read in our bulletin. Let's prepare our hearts now to worship. You see the theme today is proclaim with assurance the word of God. Mrs. Hendrickson will be playing the church's one foundation. Hymn number 242, you also see the lyrics in our, here in our bulletin. so The scriptures tell us of our Savior and His Church. In your bulletin, you see Psalm 119, verses 33 and 34. This says, teach me, O Lord, the way of thy statues. and I shall keep it unto the end. Give me understanding, and I shall keep thy law. Yea, I shall observe it with my whole heart. Yehoaho, I will teach you the law of God, and I will keep it to the end. Make me realize it, and I will keep the law of God with all my heart. Psalm 119. Let's turn in our hymnals to hymn number 241. We often think of this as a children's song, but it is a song of the redeemed. 241, Jesus loves even me. Let's stand to sing 241. I'm so glad that our Father in heaven is watching us. Standing to sing.

Ola, Ola, Ola, Ola, Ola, Ola, Ola, Ola, Ola, Ola, Ola, It's a long way to go, but it's a long way to go. Good singing. The word of God is forever settled in heaven. But that hasn't stopped kings and rulers and our society from trying to put away or destroy God. Turn in your Bibles to Jeremiah 36. In this chapter we're going to see what happens when people try to withstand God's word. So I'll start by reading Jeremiah 36 verses one through three. In the fourth year of Jehoiakim, the son of Josiah, king of Judah, this word came to Jeremiah from the Lord saying, Take a scroll and write on it all the words which I have spoken to you concerning Israel, concerning Judah, concerning all the nations, from the day that I first spoke to you, from the days of Josiah even to this day. Perhaps the house of Judah will hear all the calamity which I plan to bring on them, in order that every man will turn from his evil way, that I will forgive their iniquity and their sin. Yudawang Yoshiya's son, Yehoyakim, four years ago said to Yehoyakim, Garasade, the day I spoke to you, the day of Yoshiya, until today, Now verse 4, Then Jeremiah called Baruch the son of Neriah, and Baruch wrote on a scroll at the dictation of Jeremiah, all the words of the Lord which he had spoken to him. Verses five through seven. Jeremiah commanded Baruch, saying, I am restricted I cannot go into the house of the Lord. So you go and read from the scroll, which you have written at my dictation, the words of the Lord to the people in the Lord's house on the fast day. And also you shall read them to all the people of Judah who come from their cities. Perhaps their supplication will come before the Lord and everyone will turn from his evil way For great is the anger and the wrath that the Lord has pronounced against this people. Verse 8. Baruch, the son of Neriah, did according to all that Jeremiah the prophet commanded him, reading from the book the words of the Lord in the Lord's house. Now in the fifth year of Jehoiakim, the son of Josiah, king of Judah, in the ninth month, all the people in Jerusalem, all the people who came from the cities of Judah to Jerusalem, proclaimed a fast before the Lord. read from the book, the words of Jeremiah in the house of the Lord, in the chamber of Gemara, the son of Shaffa, the scribe in the upper court at the entry of the new gate of the Lord's house to all the people. In September, 5th year of King Josiah's son, Jehoiakim, all the people of Jerusalem and all the Jewish saints, all the people of Jerusalem, declared a feast in front of Jehoiakim. They went up to Jehoiakim's house in Baruch, and in the room of the son of Saban, who was by the door of Jehoiakim's house, in the room of the son of Saban, in the room of the son of Saban, in the room of Jehoiakim's house, in the room of Jehoiakim's house, in the room of Jehoiakim's house, in the room of Jehoiakim's house, in the room of Jehoiakim's house, in the room of Jehoiakim's house, in the room of Jehoiakim's house, in the room of Jehoiakim's house, in the room of Jehoiakim's house, in the room of Jeho Now verses 11 through 13, a ripple effect. The word spreads. Verse 11, now when Micaiah, the son of Gamara, the son of Shaphan, had heard all the words of the Lord from the book, he went down to the king's house into the scribe's chamber. And behold, all the officials were sitting there. Eliashama, the scribe, Deliah, the son of Shemiah, and Elnathan, the son of Achbor, and Gamara, the son of Shaphan. And Zedekiah, the son of Hananiah and all their other officials, in verse 13, Micaiah declared to them all the words that he had heard when Baroth read from the book to the people. The word of God goes even to the ears of the king, verses 14 through 16. All the officials said to Jehudai, the son of Nethaniah, the son of Shalamiah, the son of Cushi, to Barak, saying, take in your hand the scroll from which you have read to the people and come. So Barak, the son of Neriah, took the scroll in his hand and went to them. They said to him, sit down, please, read it to us. So Barak read it to them. When they had heard all the words, they turned in fear to one another and said to Barak, we will surely report all these words to the King. I send you the son of Nudaniah, the son of Selim, to Baruch, and you bring the two that the people have recited to their ears. I bring you the two sons of Baruch, and you go to them. They say to Baruch, Sit down and recite this to our ears. Baruch recites to their ears. They are surprised to hear all this. They look at each other and say to Baruch, We will tell all this to the king. We're continuing to read in Jeremiah 36. We're reading verses 17 through 19 at this point. Jeremiah 36 verses 17 through 19. So they asked Baruch saying, tell us please, how did you write all these words? Was it at his dictation? Baruch said to them, he dictated all the words to me and I wrote them with ink on the book. Sounds almost sarcastic, doesn't it? Verse 19, then the official said to Baruch, go, Kind yourself, you and Jeremiah. Do not let anyone know where you are. They asked Baruch again, How did you record all these words of the rich man? Say to us, Lord. Baruch answered, I recorded all these words with my mouth and with my voice. Then the shepherds said to Baruch, Go and hide with Jeremiah. Now verses 20 through 22. So they went to the king in the court. But they deposited the scroll in the chamber of Elishaim the scribe. And they reported all the words to the king. Then the king sent Jehudai to get the scroll and took it out of the chamber of Elishaim the scribe. And Jehudai read it to the king. as well as to all the officials who stood beside the king. Now the king was sitting in the winter house in the ninth month with a fire burning in the brazier before him. They left their camels in the room of Seogwigwan 1, 2, and 3, and went to the king. They went to the king's ears with all these words. The king sent Yehudi to bring the camels. Yehudi brought the camels from the room of Seogwigwan 1, 2, and 3, and put them in the ears of the king and the king's servants. It was September. The king was sitting in the Winter Palace, and there was a fire in front of him. Before we read verse 23, think about how often have we done this in God's Word, if not literally in effect, not paying attention to God's Word. With that in mind, read verse 23. Jeremiah 36, verse 23. When Jehudah had read three or four columns, the king cut it with the scribe's knife. and threw it into the fire that was in the brazier until all the scroll was consumed in the fire that was in the brazier. Verse 24. Yet the king and all his servants who heard all these words were not afraid, nor did they rend their guides. Even though El Nathan and Eliah and Gomorrah pleaded with the king not to burn the scroll, he would not listen to them. Verse 26, And the king commanded Jerahamiel, the king's son, Saraiel, the son of Azrael, and Shelemiah, the son of Abdeel, to seize Baruch the scribe and Jeremiah the prophet. but the Lord hid them. The king's response to God's word, God's response to the king, verses 27 through 31. Then the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah, after the king had burned the scroll, and the words which Barak had written at the dictation of Jeremiah, saying, Take again another scroll, write on it all the former words which were on the first scroll, which Jehoiakim, the king of Judah, burned. And concerning Jehoiakim, king of Judah, you shall say, Thus says the Lord, You have burned this scroll, saying, Why have you written on it? that the king of Babylon will certainly come and destroy this land and will make man and beast to cease from it. Verse 30, therefore, thus says the Lord concerning Jehoiakim, the king of Judah, he shall have no one to sit on the throne of David and his dead body shall be cast out to the heat of the day and the frost of the night. Verse 31, I will also punish him and his descendants and his servants for their iniquity. I will bring on them, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and the men of Judah, all the calamity that I have declared to them, that they did not listen." The words of the Lord are this to Jeremiah, saying, You shall again take the other two, and record all the words of the first two that the Lord had spoken, and say these things about the Lord, saying, How did you, the king of Babylon, come to this land to destroy it and to make people and animals disappear from this land? Then I, Jehoiachin, said to Jehoiachin, the king of Judah, that there will be no one to sit on David. The last verse of Jeremiah 36, God's word stands. Then Jeremiah took another scroll and gave it to Baruch, the son of Nehariah, the scribe. And he wrote on it, at the dictation of Jeremiah, all the words of the book which Jehoiapin, the king of Judah, had burned in the fire, and many similar words were added to them. God's word stands. Yeh, Yeremiah ga parham durumarir chihayo, niriayadir sogewan baruch ege jumeh, Let's pray. Our Father in heaven, we thank you for the opportunity to come together in fellowship today. Lord, we pray that you would help us to worship you in spirit and in truth. Help us to be a blessing to our missionaries as we write them notes this afternoon. Bless each of our missionaries. Bless us. Help Dr. Park as she speaks this morning to really Show us how you have been faithful to her in the past year. Help us to see that the scriptures are indeed as precious as gold and silver. that it is by your word that your people are helped and strengthened. And so use Dr. Park's report to strengthen our faith in you and in your word. Because truly, your word is forever settled. In Jesus' name. Amen. Well, we do have a word to tell the nations as soldiers of the cross. Hymn number 391, let's stand to sing. 391. It's hard work, but it's worth it. It's your right and it's what we're taught. By the truth, it's true, there's no doubt that's for me. The trace of death across the world, silent on the scene. A silent prayer to the stars, once our own. I am here, I am here, I am here. Don't chase the wind that blows your world off, so get on and rise again. Lord, we have lost peace again, so find us once again. Let each one of us advance, each one of us advance. Alleluia! The birds of the West would eat, but she's tired and wants to go. Darling, I've lost it, the Bible says you're wrong. And God's heart's love will dwell, On heaven and on earth his love, So give him high praise. Go ahead and ask John and Jay to go ahead and come forward to take the offering as we worship the Lord. Let's pray. Our Father in heaven, we thank you for the many gifts you have bestowed to us, both spiritual and other resources as well. Lord, yours is zero, the fullness thereof. And you have, by your grace and your goodness, blessed us in many ways. Thank you. Thank you for this time to return worship of what you have entrusted to us in Jesus' name. For our final song before the testimony today, we are going to sing hymn number 284, Right Thou the Bright Light. Let's stay in this state. of the world. Hear it now's calling, for it comes home. Let's go and run to it, flying to it. ♪ As our fathers' dreams come and pass us by ♪ ♪ I wish that my childhood never was this old ♪ ♪ As for the tale of life, I'm sure to remember it well ♪ I swear on my life that I will serve. Yeah, I will, yeah, I will. Worth it or not. Yeah, I'm going to fight them for my life. Now, this morning in Jeremiah 36, This morning in Jeremiah 36, we read about how the Lord faithfully preserved His own word despite the king's best attempt to destroy it. The Lord our God has declared that His Word is forever. In Revelation, he curses those who add to his word or to his attack. We remember last week we saw a constant faithfulness, demands, Our faithful will bless to himself. 1 Timothy 2 declares that we must be faithful to our captain, the Lord Jesus Christ, as his soldiers. In a sense, we must be faithful exercising ourselves to godliness as athletes of Team Christ. As faithful farmers first continue to re-expect the eternal reward. We know that we will reap a spiritual harvest if we are faithful to the tasks that God has commanded us to do. This year we've seen that the church is in poverty. Christ is our faith. He's in charge. He's the boss. His Holy Spirit gifts His church with different people who serve in different passions. This morning in Sunday School, Brother Nah finished Ephesians 4, with Ephesians 4, reminding us that God has gifted us with apostles and prophets and evangelists. These are people who, in Ephesians 4, shepherd God's people, the pastors and teachers. Yes, today at 5 a.m. Pentecostal time, Fr. Najo gave us the last lecture of Pentecostal. Through the 4th chapter of the Bible, it says that Jesus Christ is the Son of God. And so we have been taught from 1 Timothy 3 that the local church does have under-shepherds or under-singers as well as people. Recently I've been reading through the lessons and seeing that time gives us different tasks or different roles to be taken. In Galatians 3, the Lord says that he will give each of us a different purpose and make us faithful. Let's take a look at Galatians 3. Galatians chapter 3. We will read verses 23 to 29. Speaking about the Scriptures, the Bible, we see in verse 23, Before faith came, we were kept in custody under the law, being shut up to the faith which was limited to the ear. Therefore, the law has become our tutor to lead us to Christ so that we may be justified by faith. Verses 25 and 26, but now the faith has come. We are no longer under a tutor, but for you are all sons of God in faith in Christ Jesus. Every Christian has a status of being a son of God. One Christian son, for all of you who are that, is twenty-twice the number of a Christian, twenty-twice. So your vocation, first of all, your vocation will be to become a great person, a slave, a holy man, a person who will be known as a good man, for you are all one in Christ Jesus. Yes, all Christians are children of God, so I say this in verse 28. You are not a Jew, a Hillelite, a Jew, a Jew, a man, or a woman. You are all in Christ Jesus, This passage teaches us that we stand as equals. It doesn't matter if we are Jewish, Arabian, Filipino, or American. We're all on the same steps. Historically, right? Sorry not to pick on anyone. But this is true. We are equals before Christ. As Genesis 1 says, we are made male and female, but we are all made equal before God. But you see here, there's an inscription there in verse 28 of Slavery Claiming we have different roles to play and we don't necessarily lead those roles when we have the chance. As a woman, you have a status of being the son of God, but you are still a woman. Regardless of what society says. Regardless of what society says. To speak plainly, I will never be with you if you do that. And so for women, Yara has declared, we have looked at her as trying to be together this whole long time, but please turn back the first time you did. I don't want to take too much time, because I really want to get to the topic that everyone wants to speak. But first of all, too, I need to clarify something. First of all, I do not allow women to teach or exercise at all in their own country. So this verse, He doesn't say that we're going to have to suffer from that, that we have to give up none so we can never speak. Is this commandment all you know? Basically, it's all you need so you can never speak. Now, if we break this out of context, he appears to say that. Or maybe some of your husbands went to do it. But that's not what God is saying, and that's not what Paul is saying. What Paul is saying is that in church, women are welcome to sing. So you are welcome to sing, and we do it for you. But you are not accessible in this world. You are not to be changed. Does that mean you're not a teacher? Are we able to work this out of context? but that's not what it has to look like. We have also spoken about this too, where older women are actually more able to teach the younger one. So then, what does it all say? I do not allow women to teach or exercise before the other woman that you are in love with. What does that mean? I take this, teach you, and exercise before the other woman. What does that mean? So if you have a woman pastor, you have a problem. So if you have a woman pastor, you have a problem. So if you have a woman pastor, you have a problem. Yes. In other words, what inspired Paul to write the Bible is his love for the meaning of success. You know, some people like this, and some don't. Some like this, and some don't. One country is two years, two years away. Is it right? Now, please, would you do the same for Jesus? Sometimes the most spiritual people in the church will not do that. Those who have the opportunity to do so. So we have said that the church is a body of God. We saw in Titus 2, we refer to the first five verses which I talked about. And as I said before, in the second chapter of the Bible, it says that we have to teach old women and young women. We have to teach young women who are well-educated, and we have to be responsible for teaching children well as a mother. So this, in part, explains why we are talking about the culture crisis. She is not here as a pastor, a preacher, or someone who can afford it. One of the things that God has written in the book is, Very nice. who are similar in what she did and similar in how she pursued her PhD. She has a couple of herself. to study the scriptures and to interpret them from the original into people's hearts. So, he studied very hard and prepared the Bible in many languages. He prepared the Bible in many languages. He prepared the Bible in many languages. He prepared the Bible in many languages. He prepared the Bible in many languages. So she's not here to preach today. She is here to share this testimony that the Lord has given her. And we know that's valid, because Mary, you know, she testified to seeing this before. This is something the scripture is full of and we're testifying to what it's saying. I've asked her to not only to share her testimony, but also to tell us more about Father's resurrection. She's been our missionary for years, but maybe she doesn't know much about who she works with. And the third thing that I asked her to talk about, the testimony, Bibles International, the clients will be here, so they can have a better life. After she shares these three things, I will come with some concluding remarks, and then I'm going to ask us to do our job. I'm going to ask the defense to come and pray. Thank you all for listening on this simplest part of the program. The Bible is international and self-taught, and we pray that God's direction would be with us today. We will have that in the next program. I hope you enjoy the rest of the program. Thank you. Hallelujah. Greek or Korean or English? What do you think? Not Hebrew or Greek. I said in Hebrew. Hallelujah. That's it. Give us your language. Hallelujah. I came back today, since the time I assume, I think I need to speak on year 20, so please pay attention to me, because I just came back from Israel three months ago, and two months, I just came back from Thailand and Myanmar, working with them, so the slides either include some English and some Korean. So depending on which language, I will try to change. So those language, it's not your language, please listen in other language so that we can move faster. Thank you. Yeah, yes, you put that up. There. My name is Hyeri Park. I'm a Bible Translator. I work at the Bible Translation Agency, Bibles International. It says BMM here. Today, I'm going to give you praise reports, Bibles International's ministry, and plans and prayer requests. First, on Instagram, I studied, as you heard, about nine years. And then before that, another school for three years. Total about 12 years I studied in the U.S. But I feel like that was more flat, 2D map of Israel. And then since I have been working with Babbage International, I haven't been praying for additional school because as I work with national translators, they will keep asking about whether it is high geographical issue, whether it's location is going upside or downside, or some kind of mulch tree, what is mulch tree, what is rhodium tree, or those kind of, what is ella in Hebrew? Sometimes it is translated as a turbid tree, sometimes it's oak tree. Those kind of things, even though I majored in agriculture in college, I was very deeply in trouble because I couldn't identify all those plants, animals, and geographic matters. So as I keep getting Patience. I said, Lord, please give me another chance before I'm too late. And then last year, I turned into 50s. So I finally, I had to ask again, oh God, before I too get matured, please let me have another chance to study. So God answered prayer. It took about 28 years, I think. So God gave me this chance. And then I was, it's probably, I arrived 2023, September. September 11th, the cut started. And then we ended June 21st, we ended. So far, I think no problem, right? So that's how, so, As you know, the missionaries are not rich, so as I pray for how I could study in Israel, as you know, Because it wasn't cheap. And I prayed for it, and God gave me the opportunity to work. So I paid one third, and God gave me two thirds of the portion to work in the kitchen. So that's how God lent me as our prayer, my prayers. So that's how it worked. And also, by God's mercy, God also lent me to Greece. Not because I desired, but because God knew that I need it. And God used Hamas. So the school decided to move us all from Israel to Greece. So we are there for six weeks. But we were not able to study Greek at this point, because most of the students were Old Testament translators. So when I was there, I saw how ancient Greek street looked like. So that was well seen. And we were able to meet a few locations. And this is probably, you know, you can guess where it is. Galileo. And we're going to, probably you can guess, Temple Mount, right? The Temple of the Herod's Temple, or the Namin, out there. Most of them, as you see, you can see the different faces. Yeah, so mostly half of them are African Bible translators, and some are American, some are Asian, some are Micronesian students. And this is Hezekiah Tunnel. And this was the last project that we had to do. One of the school's core emphasis was to memorize scriptures in Hebrew. I was ping-ponging in his room. So at this time, we memorized Isaiah 42, our seventh psalm. So remember, as you can see, here is lamb, here is meat. So we are holding and we are presenting how God called God's servant. And one of the blessings, this one was, One thing that God has learned and one of the prayers that I did was about relationship. One difficult thing was everyone came to the school, Jerusalem, Israel, to study Hebrew. But some of them had to work. But my portion was I was working, since I was older, kind of second oldest of the group, I had more words to say. And then I ended up kind of leading the kitchen crew. And there are lots of pains. And one of them is how to lead and working together and also making everyone happy, everyone have opportunity to study on time. And one of things, my main goal, focus was put the food out on time. So that students to eat and move to the next class. So that was my main goal and we worked hard. But some of the students, as you know, Some of the students, some of the people, because they came there to study, they feel like study is more important. Even though they all got the scholarship. So I was struggling that, because I received scholarship, so I had to work, but I also need to study. I also came to study. I wanted to sit and practice and talk in Kimuro with other students, next to students. Before class ends, I had to run to the kitchen to clean up the dishes and clean up the food and all those things. But God used those opportunities to help me to grow in serving more like Christ. Because it's not easy, because my hands are all with blisters because of heat. And I have skinny shoes, I do. But in the end, one of the students here was very giving hard time. But in the end, last day, after this presentation, she told me that, I appreciate you. I appreciate how you worked, how you served. And next time, if I see you again, you know, you have a friend. So I was thankful. I wanted it to end well. And I prayed, even though my heart was kind of bubbling inside. But God helped all those things to end. I really praise God. And thank you for your prayers for my parents and also the process to become more like Christ. I learned to be a little more calm. And thank God, all praise to God. And it was a really blessing to hear from her that she saw God's work. Even though we are all believers, we are all God's servants, want to serve the Lord, but there are still issues among us. And God gave another lesson that God is working. And God is working through the hearts and through these words. So it was a blessing and he wanted to keep serving the Lord. So praise God. But I'm not sure whether I want to say all of it. But God is still working and you know everyone here is quick, easy pace. God is working in you, probably you cannot have outspokenly, but you also have someone who gets under your skin and gets you upset in tears and troubles, sleepless nights. But God is with you, and God supports you. God is helping you. God is listening to you. God knows how you feel. Another phrase is from Isaiah passage. Last class was Isaiah. And then especially Isaiah 56, 1 through 7 is about foreigners and also union. And especially, I have been in the U.S.A. about 20-some years, and still I'm wondering a lot of different parts of the world. And this son of a foreigner was really blessed my heart, helped increase my heart. Dr. Han, could you read chapter 56 verse 1? Do not let the son of the foreigner who has joined himself to the Lord speak, saying, The Lord has utterly separated me from his people. Nor let the eunuch say, Here I am a dry tree. For thus says the Lord, to the eunuchs who keep my silence and choose what pleases me and hold fast my covenant, even to them I will give in my house and within my walls a place and a name better than that of sons and daughters. I will give them an everlasting name that shall not be cut off. Also, the sons of the foreigner who join themselves to the Lord to serve Him and to love the name of the Lord to be His servants. Everyone who keeps from defiling the Sabbath and holds fast my covenant, even them I will bring to my holy mountain and make them joyful in my house of prayer. Their offerings and their sacrifices will be accepted on my altar, for my house shall be called a house of prayer for all nations. Amen. From Isaiah 56, from 3 to 7. I pray that you will not say that I am poor, but that I am beautiful rather than that I am rich. For those who choose to be happy, to keep their peace, and to keep their promise to me, I will give them a name that is more precious than gold in my home, in my life, and I will give them a brave name that will never end. I will also unite with you, and love your name, and with my people, I will make them happy in my house, where I lead them to my holiness and pray for them. I will make them happy in my house, where I lead them to my holiness and pray for them. I will make them happy in my house, where I lead them to my holiness and pray for them.

Last year, Korea, Asia, and China had to adjust their workshops a lot to move and study. This was one of the main titles. Before he went to Israel in September, he completed all six workshops. He studied in Israel until June of this year. He started from July of this year and completed all the workshops by this week. I confess that it is the grace of God. Have you ever heard of Daniel? Do you have any plans to hold a prayer meeting for Daniel for the next 20 days? I saw it when I was in Thailand. So when I prayed for Daniel, it was October 1st, and the end of the 20th day was with the Pakistan War Shrine in Myanmar, so I knew it would be hard, but from 5.30 to 7.30, we prayed together every day for 20 days, and we went to various places in Korea to pray. And I said about the Daniel prayer, that I set aside from each day, 5.30 to 7.30, to join Corporal Prayer Meeting called Daniel 2024 Prayer Meeting. I joined, that time was about the same time in the Pakkachi Workshop. Pakkachi Workshop really has a really big, hectic schedule. We had to go to check Second Chronicles 26 through 36, Ezra, Nehemiah, Esther, and Psalms also. some portion of the song. We had a high goal, but God gave me a desire to pray along with other Korean believers. So I set aside to God. I would join and pray 5.30 to 7.30 each day after the workshop ends at 5 o'clock. And I asked God, help me. And I joined and prayed. And by God's grace, I was more spiritually well and sound through these 21 days. Finally, I shared with my team, actually, these 21 days I'm joining the prayer meeting, so I cannot join you at dinner time or other meetings. I pray for you. And they agreed, and they were happy that I was praying for them, and God also work in each of our hearts because I was praying for Katsin's project and translators, why we are having prayer meeting and God gave even more than what I expected. As I pray for the translator even more time, Pastor Chung is working on Jeremiah. Lord, please help me to finish Jeremiah remaining chapters. It has been one year since he has been working. Lord, help him to finish, make progress. And please help Pastor Paul to keep up his daily load of doing his assignment. And all of us without any sickness for 21 days, because we are working in a small room. So if one person sick, everyone gets sick. Yeah, so that is not fun. But God kept us all healthy, and also God allowed us to complete our goal of the Second Chronicles, Ezra, Nehemiah, and Sirius Psalm 128. So praise God. This is a really big achievement and big praise for all of us. So praise God and thank you for your prayers along with us. And I mentioned that I'll be coming to Seoul, and I'll share about you, Hachin team, and they are praying for you. They mentioned that they are praying for you. They prayed for you, and they were so thankful. As you know, Myanmar team, Myanmar north, east, near Bangladesh-India border, there are still war jet fighters going on. I stayed in Yangon, And it is much safer. In Yangon, I didn't see any bomb blasts blasting. Witnessing it, jet fighting, jet fighters flying over every morning and evening throughout the day. Especially because of the daily prayer meetings. I had to work late at night, early in the morning. So it's quiet night, quiet moment. I can hear more jet fighters going in and out. I was a little scared. Not scared enough, but I was a little worried about them. believers in Hakka and Chin State, because I know that the fighters are flying toward that Chin State to drop the bombs. And each day I was asking, but I got raised in Yangon where we were. We are safe and we are able to focus on our Chin State work. And then this is my last point of praise. This is a prayer of letters that I'm sending out every quarter. So out of these letters, I want to focus only on that letter. This is a workshop schedule that I had July and October and November. So thank you so much for your prayers. It is numbered, but it is God's Word, God's grace, and God's mercy that God let me carry out this schedule and accomplish the goals, and people are happy to receive God's Word sooner. Okay, salvation testimony, I think, Most of them, you've heard me sing this one. So I will just pass through. I use this verse, Matthew 7, 21 to 23. And especially the last verse, I never knew you apart from me. You who practice lawlessness. I think that my time is almost the end. So I will just pass through. You know, those who believe in Him were given the right to be the children of God. And this is the verse that God used. Who Jesus is? I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. So this Jesus help me and carry me to the Lord. He saved me, and he lent me to Mother Earth Translation Ministry. I was a farmer, and I was a professional student for 14 years or more. And then I'm in the translation ministry now. So Mother Earth International is Grand Rapids, Michigan. It has been over 40 years. This is Mother Earth International's public statement. Okay, we can read. Baruch International is working to expand the church of Jesus Christ.

We're going to turn it on now. This is a workshop. This is Hakka team from here. This is Hakka. This is Yangbong. You left on Friday morning, but you haven't arrived yet. So I prayed in the morning. Please pray with me. Please arrive safely. Because there's a war around here. This is Hakka city, probably all of you remember. They are coming from here, Hakka city. They are this time because of the normally by bus one hour. But this time, because of the war, they are flying from Calais to Yangon. But this time, they left Thursday about lunchtime. And they arrived Calais nearby airport about 2 o'clock. And they said that they would start their journey on Friday early morning. But because of the war near Hakka, they had to go all the way up to near India to go around to avoid the battle zone. And they said they hoped to arrive in their city on Saturday afternoon, but I haven't heard that they arrived yet. I sent a message yesterday, I arrived in South Korea, how about you? And I haven't heard yet. So I'm not sure how they are doing. So trusting that God is keeping them safe since they haven't finished Jeremiah. Two more chapters to go. So this is the work. Okay.

And this is Hakachin language. So in Greek, Hakachin language, so that the believers of Hakachin can receive the same touch of the Holy Spirit, comfort, and hope. Hebrews 11, verse 6, and Jeremiah 33, verse 3, are the most grateful and cherished verses. because God uses verses to strengthen my heart and keep drawing to me. Whenever I'm failing, God is using. Where's your faith? Why are you not asking me? I told you to ask. So praise the Lord, I'm still here, and God is faithful. Okay, prayer request. So at this point, Next year, 2025, this is final slides I'm thinking. So God's Prayer, God's Protection, Power, and Provision, as I work with the World Testament Translation Team. For Akka Team in Thailand, next year, Second Chronicles, Ezra, Nehemiah, Esther, Daniel, Minor Prophets, we are planning. And Akka Team, Psalms and Proverbs. The main goal next year, we hope to publish Psalms and Proverbs as trial edition by November. So we need to finish everything by September. So it will be big goal. So when I will arrive, Grand Rapids, Michigan, December 3rd. And then we are going to start our online workshop December 4th. So that we will continue about some days. So pray for Myanmar, Israel. You know why I'm asking prayer for Myanmar, Israel? The third one is for my New Sandic Church and commissioning service. Thank you so much. I hope that you heard God's voice through this God's Word that I presented. And once again, on behalf of Hakaten team, Hakaten is Myanmar, Myanmar. Thank you so much for your prayers and support. They love you and appreciate you. They want to meet you again. If not here, and up there. So thank you so much. Amen. Thank you, Dr. Park. That does indeed help us to know how to pray. Thank you, Dr. Park. As I asked you to share with us today, I had three goals in mind. First of all, I wanted each one of us who heard Dr. Park to once again be reminded of the importance of God's word in our own spiritual lives. And Dr. Park is giving her life to translate the word of God into other languages. We have the Bible in Korean that we can read, or he can read, and English that we can read. So if we have God's Word in our own language, do we actually spend time in God's Word? What a rebuke Dr. Park's life is to us if we leave our Bibles on the shelf or on the phone app unopened. However you read it. The second lesson from today is that the Bible as well as Bible translation is important because it is the very word of God. And if the Bible is the very word of God and it is that important, we need to share the gospel with others. As Jeremiah, Baruch, the nobles all shared what they heard, we have that same response. Everyone, as we saw while reading the 36 chapters of Jeremiah, when the prophet Jeremiah received the word and gave it to him, he recorded it right away. It didn't end with that record, and then what did he do? He read it to the people who came, and the high officials who heard it, the king's servants, took that word and passed it on to the king. You know, it's absolutely wonderful if you've been having your daily quiet time, you know, praying and reading the Bible, that's good. But have you been keeping that good news to yourself? Who was the last person you shared the good news of Jesus Christ? Consider this your personal invitation to join us for our Christmas caroling evangelistic outreach. December 8th. Of course, it shouldn't just be corporate. We should be sharing Jesus Christ with our family and friends. We should be sharing Jesus with our neighbors. With those we care about and love. And can I say we should be sharing the gospel with our enemies. The third reason that I did want Dr. Park to share her ministry with us is so that we would all know how to pray for her in Bibles International. A shut Bible doesn't do any good and an unprayed for prayer list doesn't do any good. So, as I shared earlier, we're going to have our three men go and pray for those three requests, Brother Nam, Atlee, then Hendrickson, and then we will sing our final closing. Let us pray together. I want to let you know that I have language everywhere. Our Heavenly Father, we thank you so much for many blessings that you bestow upon us over past days. We pray for missionaries especially Korean missionaries, including Dr. Harry Park and Korean pastors across the country, helped us to bring forth a lot of food through their labors, especially Dr. Park, who translated the Bible in Myanmar and in Israel for the country. We pray for her safety in Myanmar and Israel. We pray for fellowship meal together, sharing food, and talking each other after this service. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen. Lord, we thank you for the work that you have been doing. We thank you for the report that we heard this morning, and we do pray now for the ministry and the mission of Bibles International. Lord, we do pray, first of all, for those who are called to be missionaries. for this organization, for those who are working to bring your word to those who do not have it in their own language. Lord, we know that Bibles International is active around the world. Lord, we especially want to pray for those missionaries in those areas today. For the ministries in Africa and the ongoing translation efforts there in Chad, in that continent. Lord, we pray for the continent of Asia and all the different translations going on there. We heard this morning of Dr. Park's areas of the Acre in Thailand and the Hakka Chin there in Myanmar. Lord, we pray that you would be with those who are working in South America, in Peru, in Central America, in Haiti, across the vast continent of Eurasia. Lord, those who are working to bring your word to the natives in their language, Lord. Lord, many of these areas, as you know and as we've heard this morning, are not particularly the safest areas. Through civil war, through other political upheaval, these places may be not the most ideal places to serve, Lord, but yet you've put these missionaries there. We pray for their safety. We pray that you continue to be with them as they seek to serve you. Lord, we do pray for the national consultants, those from those nations that the missionaries are missionaries too, that assist in the translation of the Bible. Lord, we pray that you would give them strength, that you would continue to allow them to freely serve you. Lord, that they would be able to help and aid in the translations. Lord, we pray that you keep them safe, that you would guide, direct. Lord, we pray for the local churches in these areas that work to support these translation efforts, Lord. And Lord, lastly, I pray that you would be with us. have the Word of God in our own languages, in several different versions, and yet oftentimes it goes neglected. We get comfortable in our safe surroundings that we're not worried about government upheaval. We're not worried about government opposition and persecution. And so we just sit back, relax, take life easy, Lord. Help us to remember as we sung this morning, to ask ourselves daily, am I a soldier of the cross? Is there something for me to do? And Lord, let us all be reminded that If we call ourselves Christians, then we are soldiers of the cross. And that there is work for us to do. We may not be sent to go to these lands as missionaries. But Lord, we do have a place at the front. Let us take our place and stand shoulder to shoulder with those who go out. For those who are on the ground, for those who are at the forefront translating your word, and help us, Lord, to never take for granted the word that we have. May we be equally excited to read and hear your word as those in these areas who are hearing it in their language for the very first time. Lord, we pray that you would guide, direct, keep your hand upon all the missionaries, all the workers on the ground, all the efforts being done by Bibles International, Lord, that truly everyone on earth would hear your word. We just thank you for those who continue the work that was started in Acts on the day of Pentecost, that everyone would hear your word in their own language. In your name we pray, amen. Lord, as we come before you today, we have heard, we have understood so little and yet you have shown us what can be done. And so as these folks look to the future, as we look to the future, we ask that you would empower them, that you would give peace to that land that is now at war, and not just physical peace, but peace with God that passes all understanding, and that you would bring forth your word to the people that have not heard it, the Akka, the Hakka Chin, others. We saw the list. Many, many tribespeople, many, many areas that are yet in development, and who knows what other projects will yet to come. And we ask for success, for your word to go forth. You have said, your word will not return empty. And so we ask for the fulfillment of that, even in our time, that when Christ comes back, there should be a great crowd of witnesses testifying of the goodness of God in their own time. And we pray these things in Christ's name, amen. So we do need the Holy Spirit to empower us to serve him. Let's turn to hymn number 174. Read on me, Breath of God. Breathe on me breath of God, fill me with life. And in it I was bound, and in it I was bound. I was bound by boundless love, and there I was lost, was lost. But if my time is short, But if my world is not enough, To the end of my thoughts I'll draw, The Rockets' red glare, the bombs bursting in air, Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there. Let us pray. Father, we thank you for the gift of eternal life through Jesus Christ, our Lord. And we thank you that your Holy Spirit has breathed and given us the Word of God. And we pray that in the coming week, as we serve and live, that your Holy Spirit would so fill us that we may do great things for thee. As we have prayed in song, Lord, keep us from sin. Draw us closer to you. That we may be a blessing to others. We pray this in Jesus' name with thanksgiving. I thank you and pray in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.
