Every three years PC(USA) mission co-workers serving in Asia and the Pacific gather together to visit and learn and worship. Three years ago it was right here at Hannam University, but this year it happened to be in Bali, Indonesia! I know I know, Thomas, Anna, and I are not mission co-workers, but we signed up as Haejung 이모 and Uncle Simon children and...they let us go! It was a great event - I am so glad I got to be a part of it!
Being a YAV, I had only been exposed to one part of World Mission. By attending this gathering I was able to learn more about PC(USA) World Mission as a whole, hear about what God is doing in this part of the world, meet some really great people, experience a quite nice network of support, and remember just how awesome it is that we are part of the huge body of Christ! We also had some fun and of course, ate delicious food!
annndddd we had a long layover in swanky [and HOT] Singapore on the way home!

[side note: It was both refreshing and exhausting to spend a week around so many English speakers]
