Korean Online My Story Workshop 4/16/2022
It was honor to hear the story. I wondered how she could share all her broken heart in front of us, but through her story I could see many people open their hearts and especially in the small group. We experienced how we could bring each other to God's heart. I love more and more the small group time, and I am amazed how the Holy Spirit divides the small groups. I am also so thankful to the pastor and I think it is not a simple training. It is like a deep well, and as we go deeper, we experience God's deep heart! I love Summit so much. It was a period of Lent, so many people had to go to early morning worship time, but as leader of church I gave up and attended Summit. I do not regret it because Summit is also very important time to me from God. I really hope someday God opens Summit into N.K or N.K refugee. I hope and pray Pastor has a heart for N.K so that he leads this time to N.K people. Thank you so much Pastor! Through your lecture, and time with you, I can feel how God cares about Korea. Thank you so much. We need a shepherd like you.

Through Summit freedom from God's truth gradually grows within me and it expands in me. I want all things that I knew in my head about God erased and take all Pastor's teaching. I want to fill with the teaching in my heart and head. The greatest hindrance to my intimacy with God was the "self" that had to be broken. I also realized the importance of denying myself thoroughly. I also realized that I should love myself and my neighbors with God's love. I realized that in order for the spiritual muscles of everyday life to be strong through words, I must fully believe in God's love and give everything to the Lord.
___
I realized that God's love is better than I thought! I experience the restoration of the beautiful image of God in me realizing how pure and beautiful God has made me. I have been deceived by Satan's lies and left myself in sin. I also practiced meditating on Psalms on the 30th, staying in God's Word and listening to his voice! I think it's the beginning of a journey to realize his love more deeply and fully as a priest of Jesus.

I realized that I had forgotten my innocence. We were all born with pure bodies and minds, but it was a pity that we had a lot of accidents and hard lives every day so that we forget about it. It was so nice to be able to hear a lot of people's stories. My family and friends are always with me, but I always live with the idea that life is alone. “I am alone in my whole life.” However, even though we didn't know each other during the time of the small group, we shared each other's lives and thoughts. It made me think, "This is why people should communicate and share." I also felt that I could become more mature mentally through other people's stories.

The time when God gave me life, he gave me a pure heart, and it was amazing to me. I didn't think about it before. I've only been thinking about my pain and sadness, but Summit training made me see something else. It was a time to look deeply into the hearts of the people who hurt me, gave me pain, and made me sad. I found that their souls had a lot of pain, too. I don't know how my story affected others, but I can say for sure that other people's stories have been a positive challenge for me. It was a big guideline for my future life. What resonated deeply in my mind was the pastor's words that I could choose the words of God and the lies of the enemy. Now, I want to live without being fooled by lies. I thought it was the right life to live according to the situation naturally like flowing water. Like fate... I lived as I was given. Now I want to have an ear that listens to God, so I want to live by choosing the word of God to make Father God happy. I have prayed and listened to the Bible with Korean sentiments, but Pastor’s sermon and words gave me a new perspective, and it gave me so much freedom in the truth. During Summit training, he briefly showed us a video of the pastor preaching and it was really new and impressive. I was sad to see only one video like that. I'm so happy and thankful to be able to meet good people. Thank you for your heart for Korean.

Through Summit, I realized that we can live while enjoying precious truth and intimacy with God. I want to live a life with God all the time. That's what I have decided to try. I also realized that I have to live my life by forgiving others because I was loved and forgiven by Jesus. The pastor and the interpreter will flow the love of God that many people received through you with your devotion and love to God. I think you two will be used as a channel of blessing for the nations. Thank you so much.

Thank you so much for showing God's heart and God's love for the broken hearts and wandering souls in Korea. Korea is a country where economic prosperity and cultural development took place in a short time. In addition, it is divided into North Korea due to ideological conflict, and the current South Korean society also has a very extreme political ideology. Also, Confucianism, which Korea considered important in the past, has transformed into a culture where parents consider their children as property, and there are many conflicts and wounds. Parents' emotional and physical abuse of their children has been prevalent in the past and is still present. However, Koreans rarely use the expressions 'I'm sorry' or 'I ask for forgiveness.' Koreans tend to perceive this expression as an eternal failure. So, they often avoid or ignore situations where they have to say sorry. To those Koreans, Pastor Jason said, "I'm sorry. It shouldn't have happened. I ask for your forgiveness instead." was a voice of consolation from God that no one had ever heard of. At that moment, I understood that God wants to release His love to Korea. The Summit program may be introduced through trained Korean missionaries, but above all, it would be difficult to convey God's love, excluding the social and personal values and colors of Korean women as Korean mother or Korean fathers as Korean men. It is God's amazing providence to exclude the culture of Koreans and to learn God's heart and truth, which are common to mankind, through the Pastor. Through the stories of the Pastor’s daily life, I listen to the stories of healthy families and see how healthy parents and healthy couples love each other. So, the Pastor is really needed for the sick souls of Korea. God bless the Pastor’s soul-saving ministry. I thank and praise God for showing me the areas I have always asked God through Summit.

I realized that God does not judge and love my actions, but loves and respects me as I am. I was grateful for the weight of my previous painful and difficult life, and I was also grateful for allowing me to see the glory of God now. Thank God for making me take care of someone who has hardship with prayer. Just as God accepted me as I am and loved me, I also embrace the church family who needs help and I can share my life with them. It brings hope to them. I could feel the peace of the Lord by sharing my stories in the community of Summit, and I could experience richer grace through sharing. I believe in God who will continue to lead us to hope and build us stronger. Summit training is always with strangers, but I am so happy and thankful that they sympathize with me and comfort me with the heart of the Lord when I talk to them. Through the Summit training, I hope that we will continue to share each other's hearts and convey our comfort and compassion in it. I thank and honor God for allowing me to have a summit. To the pastor and the interpreter, thank you for your hard work.
Through your love and service, many souls feel restored and rebuilt with God's full and rich love.
I pray that you will always be spiritually and physically strong and serve the Summit community more beautifully. I hope it will be a Summit program used for the kingdom of God. May you always be full of joy and gratitude in the Lord!

It was a special time. When the pastor and the translator shared and talked, I felt the strong presence of the Holy Spirit, realized the truth, and I could clearly see that the Holy Spirit spoke in the time of training. The process to establish a solid identity of God's children seems very specific and insightful. The story sharing was a time of touching and healing!
___
During the Summit training, I came to think that God is really "big." The confession of sharing and faith from the lips of Koreans and foreigners that I have never known or met, made me realize that my God, who has worked for me, is actually a "big God" who cherishes each and every person I don't know. God really cares a lot about and works for their life. Seeing the pastor and the interpreter cry and laugh at God's words and react purely, I also thought I should restore my pure heart that responded to God like that. Recently, I was approaching God 'knowledge' by personal need, and gradually I found myself not responding to God's words with childlike innocence. I prayed, hoping that knowledge of God would not stop from a cold head, but enrich warm love from heart. I was thankful that I could share my stories honestly in a small group. In addition, it was a lot of strength and grace for me that the pastor encouraged me by saying that there were many similarities with me. Personally, it was a fresh and new approach to imagine when God created heaven and earth by closing his eyes and painting the image of Eden at the beginning of the first day. The most impressive thing was the purity of the people who were with me toward God during this training. I'd like to give you encouragement rather than advice. Pastor and interpreter, thank you all for your hard work. If the pastor is interested in North Korea, I hope and pray that someday North Koreans will listen to the pastor's Summit session and recover with God's love. Thank you.

I think I learned about God's father heart again through this summit. I don't think I was able to enjoy God being my true father. I prayed that I could feel more directly connected to God the Father! I also realized that life is living with God the Father closely. I want to be free from the sins in me and live more closely with God.
___
Through Summit, God made me meet with people who are precious to me, and through them, God made me know more about Himself. Now it makes me pray for those in need as well. Now God makes me not to give up the difficult things in life and see God's heart in it. My mother raised me with a double bind, so my self-confidence was very low, and it took me a very long time to make decision, or I made a choice without thinking. Therefore, there are many times when I am not sure what the Holy Spirit says. Through Summit training, it was not the right love for a mother to raise her child with a double bond, but it was the mother's way to survive. I won't be able to hear sorry from my mother and sister, but I see God who took care of their lives. I feel God makes me see not only my wounds but also their wounds with a kind heart. By sharing my stories with people of various ages and experiences, I feel how God leads my life and have expectations for God in the future. There was no feedback to listen to my story and have a hope, but my heart was comforted by those who cried in pain. It was good to be convinced that my mother's double mind was bad for the child being raised. It touched my heart that sin came into me and flowed back to others. In the first training, I was busy listening to the pastor, but in the second training, I was heartbroken to hear that the sin that came into me was passed on to others.
