Testimony of Salvation and Devotion by Senior Byeon
I was born in the family of Buddhist on May 24, 1943.
While I led a religious life at Joongang Presbyterian church in Cheonan, I received Jesus Christ as the Savior and Lord, and was reborn in November, 1962. Then, the church was a traditional one with the strong work of prayer and Spirit. I also became to have a passion of prayer, God opened my eyes for peoples all over the world and harden my eagerness and calling for the world evangelism.
I took how to accomplish the world evangelism to heart and I was praying eagerly for each country with a map of the world in front of me. I got John 14:12-14 as a promise of the world evangelism when praying "May increase people glorifying God from all the peoples and nations." After I had experienced coming to new life clearly and gotten the vision of the world evangelism, I dedicated to give my whole life only to God.
After that, I tried to enter the Seoul Jangsin University and Theological Seminary, but I couldn't because it allowed graduates from general university. That's why I entered general university first, majoring in English literature. Since junior, I had begun a pioneering church and served the Lord with Seong-gyun Jeong, who had been one of my best friends and became a missionary later.
While praying together, Jeong had a vision of going out as a missionary, and I training and dispatching missionaries. He had worked as a missionary in Bangladesh & Pakistan for about 8 years and died a martyr at the age of 42. I have dedicated whole my life to make disciples, reproduce laborers, train and dispatch missionaries according to my vision.
After graduation of university, I entered the Seoul Jangsin University and Theological Seminary in March, 1967. I encountered the Navigators that just had established in September of that year. I learned recitation and studying of Bible so my belief started to grow with a balance of prayer and the Scriptures. To top it off, I recognized preaching the Gospel, one-to-one mentoring and training.
I got married and settled down with my wife, who was my junior in the Jangsin University.
Especially when I listened to the vision of the world mission and multiplication at the Navigators, I was convinced of the possibility of the world evangelism. After graduation of the university, I took an active part in the work of the mission, my heart was flashing with the world vision more and more.
There were a good many of seminary students in the early days of the Navigators, but it was only I that had hung in there and then devoted oneself to leadership. When other fellows spread to all major cities and pioneered churches, I went to Busan and began pioneering in our mission.
Before going to Busan, I had opened a new field of mission at the college of engineering in Seoul. There are powerful men of the religious world in Korea and around world such as E-land president Seong-su Park, a professor of Fuller Ki-ho Park and Pastor of Seoul Jeja Church Sam-ji Jeong etc. among trainees of discipleship staying with me back then.
At Billy Graham's 1973 Korea Crusade, I disciplined about 2,000 counselors in charge of it. I served as a chaplain in the army from 1974 to 1977. My wife and I actively made disciples by preaching the Gospel and providing mentoring services to cadets, officers and their families in Korea Army Academy at Yeong-cheon. God let us bear so much fruit that we still remember this was the best time.
When doing a fruitful ministry, I got a calling for pioneering ministry of Busan and Yeongnam area. After a discharge from service, we went to Busan without any financial guarantee. We just held the promise of Genesis 22:17,18. God provided food and clothing all the while we were pioneering and just relying on God in prayer.
Then we had pictured and prayed that the promise of Genesis 22:17,18 would be accomplished. The first step of my vision was to send full-timers to each major campus of Yeongnam. The second was to dispatch missionaries devoted to the vision of the world mission around world and make disciples.
At a 1985 prayer meeting of the Navigators leadership in Yeongnam, I proclaimed that we should pray to send more than 100 short-term and long-term missionaries by 1995. In those days, it was going to be a challenging and long shot because it was hard to get a visa for overseas travel in Korea. But almighty God fulfilling his promises started to open the door overseas from 1988. I became a director of Foreign Mission Team in Korea Navigators in 1991. I had observed God's real work that over 100 short-term and long-term missionaries were dispatched through the Navigators in Korea by 1995.
Conflicts in many ways were created between The Navi. of Korea and International, with foreign mission in Korea growing. While English missionaries had produced very little fruit for several decades in Africa or something, a Korean missionary couple went there and their mission was prosperous in a short time. They accused it of thoughtless mission, the mission of Korea was misunderstood and started to be restricted.
The international headquarter and chiefs in US trusted the report of English-speaking European missionaries more primarily than Korea's. Things got worse. It's just that there was a friction between the two style of western and oriental mission, especially Korea's. Even the Korea Navigators HQ had a different view of mission in the process. Pioneering leadership and I had been well aware that flexibility, autonomy and cooperation with other bodies would be biblical, theological and also meet the needs of the times practically. We tried to focus on this points. The directors who took charge of domestic mission dismissed the separate FM team for change in quality and then put it under control of domestic chief, who hadn't experienced overseas mission.
Senior Han, Oh and I determined to part and establish "Every Nation Mission" while praying and consulting with early members.
This is not only for freeing from western check and restriction, also for taking off obstruent characteristic of mission organizations to cooperate with local churches and other bodies. Although it pained each other extremely, we set out anew for mission with a belief in "Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. See, I am doing a new thing!(Isaiah43:18-19)"
On January 1st, 2000, we founded the "Every Nation Mission", the fundamental objective of which is to contribute to the Great Mission with reproducing laborers from all the countries and nations. I had focused on foreign mission as well as solidified its base of domestic mission and strengthened the interchange and cooperation between the religious world & other missions as the first & second president. ENM had sent 161 missionaries to 21 countries by God's grace during the full 9-year tenure.
Genesis 22:17-18 I will surely bless you and make your descendants as numerous as the stars in the sky and as the sand on the seashore. Your descendants will take possession of the cities of their enemies, and through your offspring all nations on earth will be blessed, because you have obeyed me."
Genesis 12:2-3 "I will make you into a great nation and I will bless you; I will make your name great, and you will be a blessing.
I will bless those who bless you, and whoever curses you I will curse; and all peoples on earth will be blessed through you."
God had made ENM contribute to world mission as its name, promise and vision for the past 9 years. Everything was just a total grace of God. I can't thank enough to use my wife and me for Lord and the work of His kingdom.
It was also a great joy and privilege for us that we have met and worked together with Senior Han, Oh and the others in the same vision. I'd like to express my heartfelt thanks to all of you joining us for the vision and mission God gave us.
I believe that God appreciate and bless devotion of all the missionaries, who are serving the Lord to dedicate themselves as a kernel of wheat in no pursuit of prestige and glory despite cultural differences and the language barrier.
Dear Brothers and Sisters!
The world economy continued to fall down with a deep sense of gloom and there are famine, war and natural disasters throughout the world. Nevertheless, God will change crisis into a chance, prepare for a reversal scenario of fortune and it would be a blessing in disguise.
I pray that God may be glorified once again, His kingdom be enlarged through ENM, and we become one with love in one Spirit to advance His coming.
Now may the Lord of peace himself give you peace at all times and in every way. The Lord be with all of you.(2Thessalonians 3:16)
"I will surely bless you and give you many descendants." (Hebrews 6:14)
Yours sincerely,
Mr. and Mrs. Byeon

Testimony of Salvation by Senior Han
I was born at a town, Bukcheong in North Korea. I remember the time when I stole some bread from a military vehicle of Russia as a boy. When I was 7, 1946, my family had moved into Seoul while avoiding the shots of Russian soldiers. The Korean War broke out in fifth grade, and then had transferred to 3 middle schools each year. I had been doing well and an honor student in school. I started to go to church in order to make friends in high school days. I had joined the various activities actively at church. But I was a so-called Sunday Christian, and had enjoyed pleasures of the world in the week days. I had drifted without an aim of life even after graduation of the university. But I had just dreamed something wonderful about life. I was discharged from the army, and then I decided to study abroad. It was because I firmly believed getting rich was a way to happiness both individually and nationally.
2 years in US, one day, I happen to find a survey of 1,000 students released by my university newspaper. I was stunned by the news that 60% of prestigious university students in East America had been addicted to drug and psychedelics. While the black took up the cities, the white went out to live in the suburbs. The capital city was so dangerous that wandering about in the street was prohibited at night. Professors seemed only to have interest in earning money, and I thought they also didn't have an answer to a matter of life. I felt in my breast that my idea had been wrong that happiness was up to riches. I had lost the meaning and direction of my life. One day, I asked a Christian friend of my lab what the meaning of life was. He showed me two verses of the Bible. "What good is it for a man to gain the whole world, yet forfeit his soul? Or what can a man give in exchange for his soul?"(Mark 8:36-37) I agreed with this, and it was beneficial for me. To follow Jesus, I found that I should calculate the cost like the words, "Suppose one of you wants to build a tower. Will he not first sit down and estimate the cost to see if he has enough money to complete it?"(Luke 14:28). Also, I should be willing to pay the cost in order to win the war. "Or suppose a king is about to go to war against another king. Will he not first sit down and consider whether he is able with ten thousand men to oppose the one coming against him with twenty thousand?"(Luke 14:31). I realized I, a Sunday Christian, had hesitated to pay the cost when I believed and follow Jesus. I perceived that He had died for our sins, and wanted me to receive Him as my Savior and Lord. That evening I came back home to pray. "God! I confess that I am getting wrong even as I seek after happiness. I will follow God's will at any cost the rest of my life from now on. May you guide my life."
After that, I cleared up cigarettes and liquor, and burnt all of the Playboys I had enjoyed. I returned books I had borrowed in the library long before. Back then, I had suffered insomnia, but I slept well for the first time in a long time. I experienced a feeling of new world now that I started the day with reading the Bible and praying every morning. Now, it is 41 years since I served Jesus as my Savior and Lord. He has purified my life gradually, and given me peace, which I never experienced. I became to love the Scripture, and have the heart of introducing Him to others.
I came back to Korea after finishing my studies, and have served the Lord in our Mission so far. He has given me needed strength and grace whenever I have faced adversity. I have learned that the purpose of life is to know Him more and walk with Him. Recently, the important lesson is that I can be happy only when I perceive God regards myself as a precious being. I really want the readers to believe Jesus, make today the best day of your life, and live as children of God.

Salvation and Happy life of my wife's and mine by Senior Oh.
Prologue
Two of us had grown up with different backgrounds: Christian vs Buddhist family, rigorous vs generous parents, and a boyhood having lived through the Korean War vs a girlhood having no memory of the war. But we have lived a graceful life together. It is just because both of us have learned the Lord and served people together in the grace of salvation despite our various differences.
1. My savior the Lord
I was born and grew up in the Christian family. I had served a church joining various activities earnestly. One day my friends in high school asked me "why do you believe Jesus?" I was puzzled since I couldn't offer the answer obviously. I asked myself why I believed Jesus. I was so grown up that I couldn't answer only to follow my parents' faith. It seemed to affect my self-esteem to say it was a habit. It was not until then that I began to think about what was the belief in Jesus. But I pulled my thoughts together in my own way without finding the answer, and then entered the university; the universe and nature made me believe in the Creator God exists. Only way to God was just that I belived in Jesus, who was the son of God, died for me, and resurrected. But I wasn't sure if I were to die now, I could go to Heaven. I will be sent to Heaven if I pass God's judgment, or to Hell if I prove to be a sinner. Therefore, I had to do my best to please God.
The more I tried to do, the more I felt guilty and pressure. When I was in university, I happened to meet the Navigators. On studying the Bible, I noticed the real meaning of believing Jesus, and get salvation. I had realized that faith is receiving into my heart Jesus, who died for my sin, and then revived for new life, through John 1:12-13 "yet to all who received him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God - children born not of natural descent, nor of human decision or a husband's will, but born of God." I had learned Redemption is not from inheritable blood, human zeal or will.
I prayed, "Jesus, I'm a sinner. Please forgive me my sins. Thank you for saving me by your blood on the cross. Now I confess, "Jesus is my Lord" From now on, I will follow you. I'm opening my door, please come into me, and change me as you like. In the name of Jesus, Amen." After accepting him, my view of what is right and wrong, and interest in people have changed. I felt a change of my mind arose such as 2 Corinthians 5:17 "Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come!"
New dreams began to spring. I really wanted to grow spiritually, resemble God, and for others to believe Jesus, and get salvation. As I was in service in Vietnam after the graduation of university, I prayed to let me come here again as a missionary later. But I had found myself going backward spiritually during 5 days of returning home. I prayed and reflected on what had been wrong.
2. Why rather declining with spiritual desire?
I had learned I couldn't do an effective battle just with burning patriotism and sound body for 2 years of special service in Vietnam. Untrained eager could result in exposing our part to the enemy, and if one show reckless valor to be hurt, others could hurt or die to save him, and the strategy be doomed to failure. The same goes for spiritual life. Unskilled spiritual passion doesn't guarantee the victory of spiritual life in the world, and may not glorify God. So, I had dedicated to spiritual training.
¡°For physical training is of some value, but godliness has value for all things, holding promise for both the present life and the life to come."(1Timothy 4:8)
3. Grace & Blessing via devotion
The more I had known God, the more value I had put on the variety of the parts in a body. As I had thaught the Scriptures, I had learned a leader shouldn't control followers instead of the Lord. I had noticed the bodies needed to respect and deal with each other in the fear, while we're entrusted with God's work, and could die for it. With this mission, I parted the Navigators and started ENM with Senior Han, Byeon and the others in 2,000. It was such a pain for me because I had joined them, and shared much faith heritage a half of my life. But the mission of God's work led me to follow the Lord's command to go against the pain.
It had been a series of solitude and unseconded training of faith, which made me look only to God, to do ministry as a layman in Korea, where people value their positions. The promise of my life, Jeremiah 45:5, had helped judge whether my concern was for God or not all the time. There have been a lot of lessons while I began to make for a living and be disciplined, and had accomplish today's ministry since 1972. Some are as follows;
- The one serving God shouldn't expect people's recognition. When pursuing only glory of God, one can enjoy real delight and peace.
- God uses me when I am doing God's work as it is.
- Jesus focused on training the persons that could reproduce spiritually in the world.
- It is a genuine faith that one knows God, who fulfills His words, thinks, makes a decision, and does according to it.
- Disciples have to continue to grow until they go to the Heaven.
- We ought to acquire knowledge and skill of ministry. But most important, the maturity of character, so-called the Fruit of the Spirit.(Galatians 5:22,23)
- While doing my best actively, I should allow myself retreats within God's love if needed.
- We can enjoy a happy life by marrying a spouse who is devout and willing to serve God and others.
- The most effective key to rearing my children is to fear God and love my wife.
- There were pain, sorrow and distress in the life of Jesus. I could benefit from them if I accept and know them as the disguised grace in the journey of faith.
- God gives me a graceful life, respect and honor when I am pleasing to God.
- Spiritual lives of people are the permanent fruits of my life.
Epilogue
I praise the Lord, who sent us to Gwangju on March 1, 1979. We encountered precious brothers and sisters shining the light of God, and had followed Him with them for over 30 years. I attribute glory and honor to God, who will achieve amazing things through them.
It was 45 years that we had learned and served the Lord since the devotion as the university students. It is such a beautiful velvet embroidered with grace. We are deeply grateful for our life full of blessings. I pray that we may keep growing, and follow Him.
"everyone who is called by my name, whom I created for my glory, whom I formed and made." (Isaiah 43:7)
