Once again, God had shown His workers that He was in
charge. They were excited, and they thanked God for the way
He had specifically answered their prayers. He really did want
them to train Koreans to understand the Bible and show people
how to become Christians.
So, the team of missionaries and Korean leaders did what
they had done in Japan. Within 15 years, they had started
almost 60 churches. New Christians also gathered for meetings
in many other areas of Korea. Teams visited half of the homes
in Korea, and 5,500 people gave their lives to Jesus.

We often hear about the good things that happen in mission
work, but we don’t understand so well the difficult parts. Many
times, the missionaries and Korean Bible students had to work
when they were very tired and didn’t have much money.
Sometimes, people criticized what they did. Other times,
people tried to stop them from telling others about Jesus. In
spite of the hard times, God’s Holy Spirit encouraged the
Christians. They were so happy to work for God that they did
not mind the difficult times.
