Jeremy on 101

Ephesians 2:10 – For we are God’s workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.

I am God’s workmanship and everything about me (including my ethnicity!) was planned out by Him in order that I might do His will that He has prepared in advance! 

For a while now, I have had a burden for Asian people groups that may have never heard the Gospel before.  I think this is because of the way God created me, as a Korean born in America.  Therefore, I understand, to an extent, the culture and mindset of the people who live in Asian countries.  I am also sensitive and can pick up on cultures relatively quickly because God had planned out that I would live in two cultures simultaneously (Korean and American). 

It’s been great seeing God direct my heart to Taiwan.  After talking with Eric about a possibility of going to Taiwan for a short-term trip, God really put a desire in my heart to go.  Hearing that less than 3% of the Taiwanese people are in the Kingdom really gave me a motivation to serve overseas.  God used Romans 10:14-15 to give me a sense of urgency.  As I put my trust in His calling, it’s been such a blessing to see Him open doors, provide, and show His just how sovereign He is (even over the officials who validate passports!).
