Hanmaum Youth September Newsletter
Dear Parents,
I’m sure many of you are thanking God that the kids are back in school. This past month has been an incredibly productive and blessed time for me. The youth retreat ended well, new youth teachers are coming to serve, and my wife and I welcomed our new baby girl Abigail into the world. We are so grateful for all your prayers and gifts!
Youth Retreat
Although I had some concerns about the weather because it had been so unbearably hot and humid over the last month, God provided us with a very mild and enjoyable environment to worship. I’m happy to say that nobody was hurt, injured, or sick during the retreat. The volunteers worked very hard to lead the kids in worship, and though it was only three days long, they were three full days. Chris Lee preached on knowing God, not just in doctrine and facts in our heads, but in personal experience and certainty in our hearts. I’m happy to say the kids had a great experience.
New Teachers!
As you all know, we have been praying for more teachers in order to have two adults per classroom by the end of the year in order to best serve the students in a safe, sustainable, and accountable manner. I’m happy to announce that God has been answering our prayers for new teachers. Minjin Kim, Tae Bark, and Taejin Lee are all joining as youth teachers, and there are a few others going through the onboarding process at this time. The youth classes for the upcoming school year will shift slightly
