우리는 네비게이토 | 윤민식 형제 간증입니다 - 중앙대 네비게이토 선교회

Hello, I'm Minsik Yoon of the Promise team.   First, I appreciate this opportunity of testimony to God and Mr. and Mrs. Lee.   I was born in non-Christian family, but I went to church several times for education in my childhood. However, later I thought it was not right to go to church in little faith so I quitted going. Actually, I didn't feel like getting up early in the morning and my favorite animation was in the morning and there was nobody to help me. As time passed, entering university I wanted to enjoy myself than thinking of God to waste time. However, I always felt emptiness that wasn't filled in the part of my heart.   "My people have committed two sins: They have forsaken me, the spring of living water, and have dug their own cisterns, broken cisterns that cannot hold water. (Jeremiah 2:11)   Meanwhile, discharged from military service, I became interested in the words by chance and I met the navigator fellowship. I experienced the emptiness in my heart get solved gradually by fellowship with brothers who explained the words very easily and specifically. Before meeting the fellowship, I often said to my friends "Is there something fun? Life is nothing. I am not happy in my life." However, now I say to people around me "I am really happy learning about God." I share God's graces that I came to have a clear purpose for my life and I became happy. I want to share those with you too.   Firstly, I came to know Jesus's great love bearing the cross for me.   I liked movies since young. I specially loved the movies about men's friendship. In movies some characters sometimes become gang and fought each other and even die for their friends under a false accusation. I felt heart-broken and bitter seeing them. Nobody but I sometimes couldn't bear my bitterness and cried because of such stories in the movies even comedy series. I felt bitter about my faults and others' injustice but I didn't know about Jesus's love carrying the cross as punishment under a false accusation. Learning bible I realized that Jesus had chosen that way by himself for me even in the unjust punishment.   He was oppressed and afflicted, yet he did not open his mouth; he was led like a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before its shearers is silent, so he did not open his mouth.(Isaiah 53:7)   God made him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God. (2 Corinthians 5:21) I realized the fact that Jesus who had no sin carried the cross for me, a sinner, falsely accused. And he was silent like a lamb before unjust accusation from people and went to the way of the pain of the cross. From this I realized his love. The cross love became engraved in my heart that I felt far to me and I became grateful to God much. In addition, I became to feel comfort and grateful under any situations thinking that love. Now I am the one in the song "the happiest person who can be humble without any bitterness."     Secondly,I have experiences of God who walk with me and lead to Successful life in my workplace. Now I am working at MegENG. civil-engineering company.a construction company has a lot of wild and violent tempered senior and very tough schedules. so they have to work all night or night-overtime oftenly. I have been trained in learning of godly life and life by faith through these situations. in my first company. I met the section cheif who can`t really get along well with me. He has worked for 10years and spited out curses and violent actions and drink alcohol everyday,even He didn`t like christians. In my past I drank alcohol like him. but now I am changed, in my point of view, It`s very uncomfortable with him. And he is well known for bad character in this company. one time, while he discussed staff, he shouted out so loudly and spited out curse and violent words and threw out drawing sheet because of disagreement. I couldn`t have boldness to tell that I will go to church to him but I prayed to God and told him. " I will go to church" He was really mad with me and threw the pen and "give me resignation" I returned my place and few minutes later section cheif asked me to come rooftop floor. suddenly I remembered that he used violence toward other company staff and finally wrote the police report. I followed him with considering after he hit me. he was beyond prediction. He explained that if he accepted me to go to church, there will be other exceptions and he become hard to deal with this. I shared my heart that everyone follow what they think is important to their life. to know God is so precious to me so I put my priority on God first. After this conversation, Missionary Lee gave me the text message. I was very encouraged and empowered. Hebrews12:1 Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us 21 To this you were called, because Christ suffered for you, leaving you an example, that you should follow in his steps. I am so encouraged and challenged when I think about Jesus who walked with the Cross, Missionary Lee and Mrs. Lee, sisters and brothers at time in trouble. when we took works to start working from Friday night to deadline, Monday morning. I had conflict with boss. because He was not happy with me when I joined in conference. but each time. God gave me grace so I could join conference or Sunday service. Looking back my time in works, after I entered this company, I attended all meeting and conferences. sometimes I might agree with boss` saying that you could miss this meeting one time or sometimes. but If I did like his saying, I could not experience abundent life to trust God and rely on God. proverbs3:3~4 Let love and faithfulness never leave you;    bind them around your neck,    write them on the tablet of your heart. Then you will win favor and a good name    in the sight of God and man. Later on, God blessed me with grace and favors from God. when having dinner together in company, boss who treated me badly ask sprite-beverage for me instead of alcohol and took care of me. when they contiually drank alcohol, He said " Min Sik is not going second drinking place" he protected me . when I moved to other company, He said that God would lead me. Thank for God`s grace.         Third, God developed my poor character. Loving a fellowship with God, I became a diligent person. When I was a student, I couldn't wake up until ten o'clock. Since it took two hours to go to school, I signed up for afternoon class in order to have plenty time for sleeping. When I had no choice but to take a morning class, I was so stressful about that.   During my junior high years when I want to sleep more, I wanted to be a dentist. The only reason was that a dental clinic in my town always opened after 10 a.m. so I thought this job allowed me to sleep more every morning. After realizing that this job needed high score, I gave it up right away. Through learning the Bible in the Navigators, I could learn a blessing of Quiet Time with God and got some encouragement. I thought that QT had nothing to do with me and was the area I dare not do.   In the morning, O LORD, you hear my voice; in the morning I lay my requests before you and wait in expectation. (Psalms 5:3, NIV)   After a few encouragement from brothers, I decided to read the Bible and pray every morning. From that time, a marvelous thing happened. That is, the words which I read once or twice in the morning was seen differently and I came to meet God personally through realizing the words. During the STP(summer training program) I learned about the QT and felt abundant through sharing the things God taught me. Without quite realizing it, before getting a sleep, I was already waiting for the morning when I met God. How sweet are your words to my taste, sweeter than honey to my mouth! (Psalms 119:103. NIV) I also changed: developing a service in the training center. I could improve my cooking. I had been senseless about taste, any food given to me was good. So one of the brothers envied me - my tongue was blessed. Like that, I had nothing to do with cooking. So when I was on duty for cooking, it was difficult to get the feel of cooking, and it was serious enough not to distinguish between potatoes and sweet potatoes. Brothers taught me cooking in calm and orderly way. On sundays, I could learn about what is a real cooking through cooking with a brother called a professional housewife.   I could developed not only cooking but service for others. Through a kind explanation and service in which they tried to eat my cooking, I was developed more. And I could be acknowledged person by these.   One day, at the company picnic, a team leader saw me griddle pancake, cut fruit, and make kimchi. since then, my colleagues nicknamed me "Jang-gumi". It was the same thing that brothers in training centers called me since I cooked well even though I didn't know taste of foods. I am incompetent, but I became to know about taste and enjoy the exciting development of cooking as well.     Lastly I can live the life of vision which is the most precious and eternal. God taught me something when I moved to here from first work place. At that time I went up to the top of the building and insisted this promise. I will go before you and will level the mountains; I will break down gates of bronze and cut through bars of iron. I will give you the treasures of darkness, riches stored in secret places, so that you may know that I am the LORD, the God of Israel, who summons you by name. (Isiah 45:2-3)   I thought there looked so dry and bad like darkness. And I expected how God made his work through me who did not know God well and did not concern about God. God sent me a faithful soul when I prayed for my work place. One day one of my companies said about his worries and I listened him very well and preached the gospel to him. He received Jesus rejoicing and after that we shared the John every lunch time. And this was spreaded to other people, so some company of mine joined together. Actually he felt empty. We almost finished the John sharing. Suddenly one day our boss said to us that our company is in the bad situation so all department would go away and we had to move to other work places. In my view, I had a question why this happened even though I could bear fruits here. But God showed me God's will.   He cuts off every branch in me that bears no fruit, while every branch that does bear fruit he prunes so that it will be even more fruitful. You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you to go and bear fruit--fruit that will last. Then the Father will give you whatever you ask in my name. (John 15:2,16)     God taught me to prepare myself and grow is very important to bear fruits. And I became to know that God loved me so much and He chose very poor me to give me much grace. This is all God's grace and the best will of God. For some months to prepare for other work place, I could train myself and teamwork and develop my character. Also I could deepen the vision and be sure of vision. And God helped me to meet more brothers in that work place. I could realize there were many people who need Jesus. However there are few people who could help them. I could realize God's mind.   When he saw the crowds, he had compassion on them, because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd. Then he said to his disciples, "The harvest is plentiful but the workers are few. Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field." (Matthew 9:36-38)   Even though you have ten thousand guardians in Christ, you do not have many fathers, for in Christ Jesus I became your father through the gospel. (1 Corinthians 4:15)   Actually God is really looking for the laborer who has God's mind and God wants to bring the wandering souls to us. Now in my new workplace, I could meet many souls who need the help. I really give thanks God who made me to get God's mind and help others.   By the grace God has given me, I laid a foundation as an expert builder, and someone else is building on it. But each one should be careful how he builds. his work will be shown for what it is, because the Day will bring it to light. It will be revealed with fire, and the fire will test the quality of each man's work. If what he has built survives, he will receive his reward. ( 1 Corinthians 3:10,13,14)   Now I am working with buildings. I am making some buildings. But after time passed, I must repair and repair again. I always repeated making and breaking down. At the ladt day, only eternal things would be left. If I would not remain anything, I would feel too embarassed in front of God who saved me. But I really give thanks to God and Missionary Mr.Lee and Mrs. Lee who made me live the life of vision.   My prayer request, - To love God the most, fear God, grow the laborer. To gain faithful souls in the work place and fulfill God's will <v:shapetype id=_x0000_t75 stroked="f" filled="f" path="m@4@5l@4@11@9@11@9@5xe" o:preferrelative="t" o:spt="75" coordsize="21600,21600"><v:stroke joinstyle="miter"></v:stroke><v:formulas><v:f eqn="if lineDrawn pixelLineWidth 0"></v:f><v:f eqn="sum @0 1 0"></v:f><v:f eqn="sum 0 0 @1"></v:f><v:f eqn="prod @2 1 2"></v:f><v:f eqn="prod @3 21600 pixelWidth"></v:f><v:f eqn="prod @3 21600 pixelHeight"></v:f><v:f eqn="sum @0 0 1"></v:f><v:f eqn="prod @6 1 2"></v:f><v:f eqn="prod @7 21600 pixelWidth"></v:f><v:f eqn="sum @8 21600 0"></v:f><v:f eqn="prod @7 21600 pixelHeight"></v:f><v:f eqn="sum @10 21600 0"></v:f></v:formulas><v:path o:connecttype="rect" gradientshapeok="t" o:extrusionok="f"></v:path><o:lock aspectratio="t" v:ext="edit"></o:lock></v:shapetype><v:shape id=_x80346992 style="WIDTH: 21pt; HEIGHT: 22.8pt; v-text-anchor: top" type="#_x0000_t75"><v:imagedata src="file:///C:\DOCUME~1\LR04\LOCALS~1\Temp\Hnc\BinData\EMB000009b03cd0.bmp" o:title="EMB000009b03cd0"></v:imagedata><w:wrap type="topAndBottom"></w:wrap></v:shape>
