Seoul

Much had been prepared and we were working with the leaders of a grouping of 600 churches.  It took a couple of days to really see the On the Move way of doing things expressed in the mission - and it was wonderful.  The best day was the last one, where we worshipped on the streets in the rain and got soaked to the skin.  Also, the PA system did not get delivered that day.  So, with a small number of guests (less than 100, huddled under umbrellas), it seemed to have failed.  But God was at work!  When the event was over, I started receiving response cards.  When I saw that I had 19 response cards, nearly all for new conversions, I was absolutely amazed to think that this could happen in such adverse circumstances, with a small team, a small number of (wet) guests and no PA system.  Then other cards got handed to me and, when they were all counted, there were no less than 60!  A real miracle.  And the way it happened so emphasised the point that it is the Holy Spirit, moving through ordinary Christians, that makes the difference - not PA systems or anything else humanly strong.  On the day after the mission, the Korean On the Move organisation was officially launched.
