Koreans preparing to join OMEnglish/Espanol


For four years Christian families from the Lithgow area of New South Wales (NSW), Australia have hosted Koreans who are learning English in preparation to join OM. The families are from various churches in the regions, and the impact of the Koreans staying with them over these years has induced ‘missions fever’.

A couple of weeks ago at the Bonfire Bush Bash—a celebration for the Koreans and their host families— Thalia, the English teacher, chatted with one of the teenage daughters of a host family. The young girl told her about her desire and ambition to join OM. Thalia was thrilled that she would consider an occupation with an eternal outcome.

“It is stirring to see the body of Christ work together to accomplish His passionate purpose,” says Thalia. “I am encouraged to see the churches here supporting us. Please pray that we will continue to get along in Christ’s spirit and seek Him in every challenge we face.”

This year OM Australia is hosting 19 Koreans learning English. Nine will join the ships, while others will go to Asia and the Middle East.


FIEBRE MISIONERA

Por cuatro años familias cristianas de Lithgow en Nueva Gales de Sur, Australia han albergado a coreanos que estudian inglés como preparación para unirse a OM. Las familias son de varias iglesias en la región, y el impacto de los coreanos que vivieron con ellos ha provocado una “fiebre misionera”.

Un par de semanas atrás, durante el Bonfire Bush Bash (una celebración para los coreanos y sus familias anfitrionas), Thalia, la profesora de inglés, conversó con una de las adolescentes hijas de una familia anfitriona. La joven le contó de su deseo y ambición de unirse a OM. Thalia se emocionó de que la joven considere dedicar su vida a algo con resultados eternos.

“Es conmovedor ver el cuerpo de Cristo trabajar junto para cumplir su apasionante propósito”, dijo Thalia. “Estoy animada de ver que las iglesias aquí nos apoyan. Por favor ora para que continuemos juntos en el espíritu de Cristo y lo busquemos en cada desafío que enfrentamos.”
