All of you have put lots of effort and did good job for the English Camp. I guess you might be knocked down and go to bed right after you arrive at home. In Korea, you couldn't even have taken a shower with hot water or bath in a bathtub either, and have slept not in a room with a bed but in a container box with a hard floor. I don't think that it's been easy for you to have been staying and sleeping in a wide and desolate kids' sanctuary. After I sent you off, it occurred to me that I could have served you with more convenient place and more delicious food, but I did not, and that I'm sorry to you all. As I see all of kids, youth, teachers, and parents of the church say that this English Camp was phenomenal, that I'm so pleased and giving you all my ultimate gratitude. By your devoted and passionate service here at Immanuel Church, lots of our Church teachers have been challenged and motivated. So then, Like you all did to us, some of them say that they would go to another smaller countryside church to help their ministry as a short time mission, even they can't afford to go abroad. I believe that sowed seeds through all of your devoted service would have fruits of thirty, sixty, and hundred times in a while here. And for all of you, as God says you reap as you sow, I pray that God would pour you out endless blessings. I bless you all that live in grace of God, Jehovah-Jireh, and Ebenezer - which means God is giving and preparing(translator added) - for whole of your lives. And I also pray that all who around you also be happy because of your presence there. I bless, especially, ladies and guys, who have not yet married, to see good man and woman and God's man and woman, and make a faithful happy family. I finish my word here with saying that I wish, If I can see you one day, to see you with a better and happier faces. Please be happy and peaceful in Christ Jesus, Sincerely, August 22, 2010 Sunday Morning in Incheon Korea. Rev. Sung Hwa Park, Gang Seon Lee (traslated by Daekyung Jun) Dear, Rev.

Hi,
I wonder if you’ve arrived safe and sound.
All of you have put lots of effort and did good job for the English Camp.
I guess you might be knocked down and go to bed right after you arrive at home.

In Korea, you couldn’t even have taken a shower with hot water or bath in a bathtub either, and have slept not in a room with a bed but in a container box with a hard floor.
I don’t think that it’s been easy for you to have been staying and sleeping in a wide and desolate kids’ sanctuary.

After I sent you off, it occurred to me that I could have served you with more convenient place and more delicious food, but I did not, and that I’m sorry to you all.

As I see all of kids, youth, teachers, and parents of the church say that this English Camp was phenomenal, that I’m so pleased and giving you all my ultimate gratitude.
