As we share and plan “Emerging UMC” I’d like to challenge all of us to prepare toward “perfection”. Please don't take this as a discouragement. I want to celebrate the accomplishments so far and want to encourage everybody in this journey. I have watched and experienced great struggle and frustration when Korean churches are trying to form English Ministry (EM) for 1.5 and 2nd generations. They have sensed the great need for a new worship service for English speaking 1.5 and 2nd generations, so they have formed a service called “English Ministry”. The problem was, in my opinion, they launched the service when it was about 80 or 90% completed and struggled with putting 10 or 20% as they go. Many times they ended up with something different than what they originally planned because they had to change and modify the service while they are putting 10 or 20%. So friends, let’s not rush! Let us plan toward “perfection” and let God lead the steps! Enjoy the video clip!
