Farewell party by Dr.Lee Sang Young and Korean friends

11/24/2008 I got a mail from Dr. Lee Sang Young for a Sayonara party. She is a psychologist and teaching even other subjects at APNTS. And she always encourages students especially Japanese students to follow Christ and study well. She invited two more korean couples who are my dear friends for this final night in Manila before going back to Japan. 

     She cooked Kimchi chige, Burukogi, and several traditional side dishes, they all were amazingly tasty!!! Thanks so much for your heart upon such a poor Japanese student. And blessedly the korean friends were the ones who invited me also for a farewell party but could not get a chance for it. So it was kinda miracle we all met at Dr. Lee’s house. Praise the Lord. I have been greatly encouraged to learn Koran language because I can little guess what they are talking about. And I want be a good friend of them beyond nationalities, whatever the past may be, we can serve the Lord together as one.  

韓国のお友達によるお別れ会 韓国のお友達とお別れ会をする時間がなく残念がっていた矢先、APNTSで心理学を専門とする韓国の先生が帰国前の最後の晩に夕食に招いてくださり、みんなでたのしいキムチ鍋、プルコギやなどなどを食べることができましたあ~たのしかった!というのは彼らは韓国人であるのに日本人に心を開き、こころの触れる会話ができたからです。一人一人が僕を励まして、これからの日本の宣教に思いをはせてくれました。みんなありがとうね。また、彼らは韓国語を互いにしゃべっているのをみて、僕もかれらの会話の中に入りたいと深く思い、韓国語を真剣にやらねばと再決意できた夜でした。なぜなら、日本と韓国はこれからもっともっと仲良くなって一緒に宣教をしていきます。Praise the Lord.
