In CEF we like to quote the verse in 2 Timothy 2: 2: “Entrust these things to reliable men who will also be qualified to teach others”. This is the aim of our teacher training. When we teach children’s ministry  workers, they go out and teach children. In this way many more children are reached and taught. “Teaching others, who will teach others”, is not restricted to adults. In this edition we want to tell you the story of a Korean girl who lives in Auckland. This inspirational story is told by her mother, Myonghee Choi with Erin’s approval (edited with permission). This is what CEF is all about!

“Our daughter, Erin Choi-Brown is our most precious gift from God. She is 9 and will be 10 in December. She is half Korean and half English and is bi-lingual. She goes to a NZ school during the weekdays and the Korean School of Auckland on Saturdays. 

Erin first joined a Good News Club® (GNC®) at the Korean School of Auckland in August 2008. Afterwards, in February 2009, Erin and I joined the Korean Ministry of CEF at Te Atatu, Auckland. Since then, she has been going to four different GNCs - the Korean CEF (Thursday), West Harbour (our home, Friday), the Korean School (Saturday) and Korean Presbyterian Church in Henderson (our church, on Sunday). Despite listening to the same message 4 times a week, she always enjoys listening to God’s message and praising Him.

Erin now takes part in giving an invitation for salvation whenever and wherever possible. She plays with ‘the Wordless Book’ and ‘the Wonder Cube’.  It was so great for me to watch her while she was talking to herself about the Good News. It seemed like she was practising to use them, before God. A few days after a Korean TCE  Level 1 training course in January 2010, one of our Korean GNC teachers visited our home with two children of her own and a girl called Jiwoo.

Erin got the three children together in a corner of our living room.

 

She had Jiwoo in her mind in particular and started introducing the Good News, showing and telling the  story of the Wonder Cube.

 Erin and the other two children prayed for Jiwoo towards the end. Jiwoo invited Jesus Christ into her heart in her own words. Hallelujah! Glory to God!

God guided Erin to carry out mission work in Korea as well. Recently Erin visited Korea for 4 weeks. She was invited to a special mission, a ‘Party 4 You’, by our family friends who work with Chinese people. As soon as I heard about the gathering, I asked the Korean Ministry of CEF to pray for her. Thank God! He planned and prepared a big group of people – about 40 Chinese students and 10 Koreans! God used Erin to proclaim the Good News there for over an hour as it was presented in English, Korean and Chinese. She had a Chinese Christian interpreter, who was among one of the Chinese students. God guided her while she was using the Wordless Book and her five praying fingers. He touched them to open up their hearts. Thirty of them responded to an invitation for salvation and accepted Jesus into their hearts. Erin thanked God in prayer with them. We praise God that Erin has been used by Him.”
