KOREAN REPORT #1

Greetings from the amazing place called South Korea. We had a good flight over on Korean Airlines with an empty seat beside us for the 14 hour trip. We had a little time to rest and then ministered to a few people in the hotel.

Yesterday (it's already Monday here), we ministered in a church about an hour away. The worship was awesome and the people were very responsive, as always. We also met some wonderful people, including a former kick-boxing champion who was our interpreter. He had been a gangster and met the Lord later in life and went straight to seminary without ever having been in church. Needless to say, he had a few problems adjusting to the seminary standards.

After the Sunday morning speaking time, we ministered to about 25 families. That took until about 4:30 or 5 pm. Then we went out to eat and ministered a bit more at the Italian restaurant. We got back to the hotel about 8::30 or so. It was a very intense day to say the least.

Today, we begin our first of three back-to-back conferences. We invite your prayers for strength and anointing to minister. Jessica and Kevin Seiler are doing a wonderful job of working with us and the intense schedule. Next week they will lead a youth service of about 350 young people. It will be part of a conference in a church that has 2000 members.

We are all doing pretty well physically. We wake up a lot during the night because of jet-lag.

Thanks to all of you for your love and prayers. We'll try to keep you updated.

Many blessings and much love from Seoul, South Korea.

Ben, Brenda, Jess and Kevin
