Witness Workers
Witness Worker Report: Sook Kyoung and Bock Ki have had some good times to be with pastor couples from within Mennonite Church South Korea. They get together every 3 months for sharing and support. Bock Ki is also pleased that the restorative justice facilitation training that is done through the Chuncheon Community Peace Centre has found its way into two congregations both in Jeju and in Nonsan. So, two more centres are being established that are connected to the Mennonite churches in those areas.
Bock Ki has been working with Mennonite Church South Korea leadership on new pastor training. Like the membership classes that they do, this pastor training is very comprehensive and done over a long period of time.
Bock Ki mentioned Anabaptist History, Biblical Interpretation, and Anabaptist/Mennonite pastoral ministry. These new pastors are very needed in the MCSK network.
May we continue to pray and support them as we see how we can connect more closely with our family of faith in South Korea.
