Lean on Him in the Transition Season
May was the graduation season and the last month of our ISEED training. Besides experiencing students and visiting scholars leaving the city or going back home, I also personally am experiencing a big transition, finishing up the training program and preparing myself to full-time ministry. Allowing myself to fully process my emotions during students’ leaving […]
The Lord is Faithful
The best way to describe my time in the ISeed program is – The Lord is faithful! The Lord has done great things for us, and we are filled with joy (Ps 126:3, NIV). Inspired by Dora’s challenge to spend more time in adoration in her post last month, this post will simply be one of praise to God for […]
What does it mean to build trust?
In the end of May, I went to ACMI conference, where lots of international student ministries gathered and got connected with each other. It was a neat experience. I learned a lot. I met people from other IFI locations as well as people from other ministries. Also, I got to see my awesome host family […]
Adoration
When he had consulted with the people, he appointed those who should sing to the Lord, and who should praise the beauty of holiness, as they went out before the army and were saying: “Praise the Lord, For His mercy endures forever.” Now when they began to sing and to praise, the Lord set ambushes against the people of Ammon, Moab, and Mount […]
God is always with us
There was a big thing happened on April 29th. It was Sunday afternoon. Connie and I planned to go to Costco for grocery shopping. I was driving the car and went to the Exit to Costco on highway I-71. Suddenly, the car in front of us stopped. I break very hard and I stopped. I […]
Gratitude – The Power of Truth in a Battlefield of Lies
Gratitude is a gift from God that helps keep life in perspective when I am tempted to feel hopeless. The lies of Satan tell me that I do not have enough, I am not enough, I am failing at the work to which God has called me, that there is no fruit from my labor […]
Hello Columbus+The Power of Worship!
Hello! This is Lin. I joined the ISEED program in March. I’m still kind of new in Columbus but I already received lots of love and encouragements from my brothers and sisters in Christ. During this past month, I joined different Bible studies every Friday. I witnessed different styles of ministry through Bible Studies. I […]
Life in Him is full of Celebrating His Abundance!
This month, I got to celebrate lives, friends’ marriage, and IFI’s ministry through 6 friends’ birthday, 2 students’ baptism, 1 friend’s wedding in Texas, and 12th IFI’s annual banquet with 750+ people. I am thankful that at the end of the month I can sit down, be quiet and reflect His work after a month […]
Blessed by Incredible Hosts
I had the opportunity to travel to different cities on two occasions in March. At the end of both trips, I left feeling tremendously blessed by the host families with whom I stayed during my visit. The first trip was with the Rich, an OSU student and the other ISeeders to E. Springfield Pennsylvania to […]
Prayer is powerful
I always know and believe that prayer is powerful in my mind, but recently I have more faith in prayer. I believe God heard my prayer. First, I am working with a collection agency, so I need to make many phone calls every day to get money back. It is really difficult for me to […]
