We are now ALIENS in Korea

We are so pleased that we are now finally registered as a foreigner and alien here in Korea. This is a great event, because now we could buy cell phones. We could also register our Medical Aid which means we can benefit from their very good health care system.

Friends here gave us the name of a very good Doctor. We needed medication and we only had South Africans prescriptions. He helped us to get the right medicine which we are familiar with. He is also a christian and after a very friendly conversation (he speaks a little English) he presented Pieter with a Bible. It is a Korean and English version and we are sure we will be able to put it to good use as we speak to people.

Cell group

When we came to Korea we prayed that we might have an open door for the Gospel too.
We were invited to attend Church and felt at home straight away. The Pastor and his wife opened their hearts for us. We approached him about starting an English Cell Group and he gave us the Church small hall as a venue. We have started on a Thursday night and 27 people came the first night, then 12 and last night, there were 10. This should still pick up as it gets known in the community. We have seen that it can be a real tool to make Jesus known and for believers to get to know Him better.

The fellowship is great and we have Joseph Kim, an interpreter and friend who helps to interpret when Pieter talks. This is a great blessing as many people want to learn English, but their knowledge of the language is still limited.
