...is the way to say "Hello!" in Korean. A couple of times a year, the students in the Fellowship group at Kanto Gakuin University get the chance to meet up with some Korean counterparts. This January, for about two weeks, a group of 10 came from South Korea--all volunteers with the South Korean Campus Crusade for Christ.
These students are always a pleasure to be with--lively, joyful, and truly good-natured. This group was particularly strong and we had a good time getting to know them. But just imagine the communication hurdles. Times like these make everybody realize how useful English really is!
A moving moment in this group's visit occurred at the beginning of our last Fellowship meeting together, when we all sang the well-known song, "Give Thanks." With one of the Korean students at the piano, everyone sang the first verse in English, and the second in their native language--English, Japanese or Korean! A beautiful cacophany of gratitude for our many blessings!
It occurred to me again that the good news we have in Jesus knows no boundaries.
