The .pdf file contains the newsletter in
full. The article below is one
highlight from the May newsletter.
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.”
