Pilgrimage to Korea for Spiritual Renewal
October 16, 2019
Word of Invitation
Greetings in the Lord! Over 17 years of ministry in the WNCC, I have learned many things from my ministry colleagues and lay members. They have also asked me to introduce Korean spirituality and unique theological context in South Korea. Rev. Jun Seo, Pastor at Greensboro Korean UMC, and I are inviting you to a Pilgrimage to South Korea for Spiritual Renewal.
It will be a time for us to renew our callings for ministry, to experience prayer life and devotions with Korean Methodists, to be equipped with cultural intelligence and marginal leadership, and to rethink of our ministries in multi-cultural contexts. In addition, we will enjoy cultural tastes of South Korea, visiting various sites.
Please read the pilgrimage information in the below and be a pilgrim with us. If you have any questions, please reach me at jlee@wnccumc.net or 704-408-0909.
Sincerely, Jae Lee
