I joined the WB program shortly after the pandemic because I felt very lonely, however, through this program, I was able to connect with other pastors via the Internet and or in person and this has helped me immensely and encouraged me once again. I am also grateful for the sponsorship and the dedication of the WB Program.

I was able to apply to this program because a samonim I know has introduced me to WB. The name of my church is called Connecting Church and it stands for connecting people with God. I have always been interested in connecting churches with other churches. I was once again very touched by the convocation I received from God while participating in the WB program. I believe churches must be the first to encourage people to come instead of waiting for people to come to God. There is a blind spot among pioneering churches in the Korean American religious communities. I felt a kinship toward the WB program because they are carrying the work of Christ according to the gospel by visiting churches with blind spots assisting them and sharing our loads.

I have established my own independent church in march 2022. I am a second-generation Korean who grew up attending Korean American Churches. The main theme of Korean American churches that both the immigrants and second generations attend is being grateful for the fact that we can live to glorify God. The WB conference had great lectures and provided an opportunity for me to spend quality time with other pastors who were in a similar situation as I was.
