Leaving for LA



(How many photos like this since college? heehee) Sandra & Dave Sohn, thank you so much for your hospitality in organizing and hosting the NC potluck! It was so nice to reconnect with familiar (and new) faces and a great way to conclude my time here in NC as I prepare to begin life again in LA. To all you parents out there, you guys are great and are raising sweet & adorable children.

I'm leaving for LA (Long Beach) on Wednesday to begin a new ministry and would appreciate your prayers. I'll be joining a group of pastors at an established Presbyterian church who have the vision and desire to reach out to displaced and unchurched 2nd generation Korean/Asian Americans. Our hope is that we will build, strengthen and transform a community of individuals, families and marriages in the love and wholeness of Christ. It's an exciting prospect because this church is a Japanese American & Anglo American church that merged 5 years ago--a congregation that is intentionally multi-ethnic and multi-generational (from babies to grandparents). And though the new ministry means taking a risk and facing uncertainty, I can't help but look forward to the experience, knowing God is faithful and good. So if you are ever in the area, please stop by (Grace 1st Presbyterian church, Lakewood (Long Beach) CA or just give me a "hollah" and I'll take you out for some tasty Mexican and Korean grub. Brian, a potluck in LA????

Can't wait to see you out here, Sunny. Now we just have to get the rest of the gang to move out with you. :)
Give me a call or email with your new info. Do you need any help moving in?
