God moved in each meeting and was present in every gathering, including Officers, Cadets, our young people and congregations in Daejeon and Seoul. Worship always had a clear focus on passionate prayer and the preaching of the Word, which brought seekers to the front, creating an even deeper passion for the mission of God in the world.
