 This memorial represents Korea torn apart, a South Korean soldier meeting his brother from the North on the battlefield. I recently spent the month of March in Korea with my daughter and her family. (More about that next week.) Everywhere we looked we saw crosses, often lit at night, indicating churches. God has done a powerful work in that country in the last fifty years. Almost 30% of the country now identifies as Christian, although Buddhist temples remain as marks of traditional culture. When my daughter and I travelled to Seoul, a monk stood outside the train station, hitting a wood block with a stick.
“The Korean equivalent of a Salvation Army bell ringer,” my daughter explained. Palm Sunday we attended the army base worship service. My daughter sings on the worship team, but this Sunday there was also a team from the Spanish speaking service, and a worship band of Korean soldiers that had grandson Simeon hopping in the aisles. |
