남침례대학 (Southern Methodist University) 개척
 안암센터 목자님들, 안녕하세요. 조나단 정 (영욱) 입니다. 정말 오랜만입니다. 저는 한국에 있었을 때 왜 선교사님들이 한번 가시면 소식을 전하지 않는가 궁금한 적이 있었는데 저도 막상 오고나니 선교지 소식을 알린다는게 고생하는 것만 알리는게 아닌가 하는 생각이 들기도 하고 이런저런 이유로 주저하다보니 어느새 12년 정도가 흐른 것 같습니다. 전 뉴욕의 콜럼비아대학을 섬기다가 작년에 텍사스로 왔습니다. 우선 본부 홈페이지에 지난 달에 올린 간단한 소식을 안암게시판에도 나누고 더 자세한 소식은 다시 올리겠습니다. 남침례대학 (SMU) 개척에 대해 계속 기도지원을 받고자 합니다. 감사합니다. - 은혜입은 조나단 드림 .................................................................... Hi, my name is Jonathan Jung. Last May 2016, I and my wife, Karen, moved from New York, NY to Dallas, TX. God richly blessed our house church while we were in Columbia University Bible Fellowship in New York; we learned from M. David & Joy Baik and M. Samuel & Ruth Shin, prayed alongside with them, studied the Bible with others, and raised up disciples of Jesus. I started a PhD program in my 30s to stay near Columbia and to serve the campus. God blessed me to finish it successfully and I received a job offer from the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. I was happy since I had been praying for a job that is flexible enough to serve college students that I applied for a federal government job. As a patent examiner, I prosecute patent applications filed by patent lawyers from companies such as Samsung, LG, and Apple. And by God's grace, I was retained after the 1-year-probationary period and recently got promoted. As we moved to Texas, we found an apartment that is very close to Southern Methodist University (SMU). Through much prayer and the encouragement by M. Samuel, we started holding a family worship service at our apartment from September 2016. We also met Austin UBF folks early this year and were really encouraged by them, seeing them faithfully serving UT Austin. We also met other campus ministry leaders and college professors in SMU to learn about the community and the campus. God granted Karen a full-time position at SMU last May. Through this, we began to believe that God was guiding us to serve SMU. Karen began Bible study with an SMU student and we continue to pray for one-to-one Bible studies. Brian, Scott and Andrew, joined us for worship, so it is the five of us so far. They faithfully have been attending our family worship service since last year. One of my Bible students, Brian, now has a desire to deliver a Sunday message and started delivering a message. Andrew, from Washington UBF last year, also shared a message based on his 2017 key verse. I thank God for growing each one of us. Please pray for our fishing ministry this Fall. Karen and I are praying to continue to go fishing every week. Please pray for our family to be strong even though we are small in number and to be a blessing to students here in Dallas. By His grace, Jonathan Jung |

와~ 소식 주셔서 감사합니다. 신실하고 겸손하신 요나단 선교사님께 하나님께서 개척의 은혜, 사명을 주셨군요. 우리도 기도할께요. 동역자 카렌 목자와 함께 피싱나가고 양들과 대화할 때 마음에 기쁨과 믿음을 부어주시길 기도합니다. 늘 기도하시고 주의 말씀에 충만하시길 기도합니다. 필요한 기도제목을 자주 보네주세요, 기도하겠습니다. ~~~ | |
