English Disciples - Saturday Morning Class Testimony (DJ Kim) > 제자학교

• 목록

The past eight months have truly been a blessing to me. I do not say that simply because it sounds like the right thing to say. When I first decided to take the English Disciples class with Brother Young, my reason was very practical. I had Mokja training on Saturday mornings, and the 11 a.m. Saturday class was the best time that fit my schedule.

At first, when I realized there were only four or five people in the class, I honestly felt a little burdened, especially because it meant we would need to prepare snacks more frequently. But as time went on, I began to see that the small size of the class was actually a gift. Because there were fewer people, we had more time to share openly with one another. In many ways, I think we were able to spend more time in fellowship than even some larger classes.

I also did not expect too much from the class content at first, especially because I had previously taken a similar class using the same book at another church. However, through the different stories and walks of faith shared by my classmates, God opened my eyes. I was reminded that God works in many different ways, and that I should not limit His work to only what I already know or expect.

Throughout the class, we had honest conversations about faith, evangelism, and the difficulty of sharing the gospel with family members. We prayed about the next steps in our lives and in our walks with God. We prayed for one another when hardships came. We encouraged one another to obey God’s Word, even when our hearts were selfish or hardened. I cannot share too many details, but I was sincerely touched and challenged by each of my classmates. Even though I did not know everyone well at the beginning, I felt that God allowed me to grow closer to them and relate to them as brothers and sisters in Christ.

I am thankful to God for giving me this opportunity to connect with such wonderful brothers and sisters in faith. Although I already knew in my head that I am not alone in this race God has set before me, this class helped me believe it more deeply in my heart. God has prepared brothers and sisters who encourage me, challenge me, and help me seek Him and obey His Word.

My prayer is that I would continue to know God more deeply, walk faithfully with Him, and encourage others in the same way I have been encouraged through this class.
