Our main mission work we did for the day was attend two of Bella's English classes. Te building she taught in was for the school of hospitality, so it was designed to emulate a hotel with ballrooms and front desk and really nice quality furnishings. The majority of Bella's classes we young ladies and one guy in school to become airline stewards or stewardesses. Andrew and I decided to team up, so we took on or first group. We talked about various subjects an played off of each other well. I taught them the game I learned from last year working Camp WinShape called Ghetto Tap. Basically you overlap arms while sitting in a circle with your hands all on the same surface. By tapping, you send the tap around the circle. If you mes up you lose a hand, if two time, you are out and you face punishment. In Korean punishment one usually presents their back and the whole group would slap it. In this case, we decided to go the non violent out and I suggested we did nose on. It worked well and the students had fun with it! Yay for quick thinking! It was funny because sometimes the groups would count the same number many times or take a long time just to say one number so the person in punishment had to stay longer.
I made a break through in the second group of the first class Andrew and I talked with! The Holy Spirit took over and I just started pouring out about the Gospel! during the first half of the conversation we talked about general things like culture, but then it was like a switch went off and I felt the urgency to share the Gospel with these girls. I did what I once heard David Platt talk about. He quoted an interview of a theologian answering the question: If you had 1 hour with someone on a train, how would you share the Gospel with them? and the theologian answered "I would spend 50 minutes getting them to understand their sinful nature and why we need Christ and THEN share Christ with them." That's how I felt this whole trip when ever I shared the Gospel. So I spent most of my time when sharing the Gospel getting students to understand their separation from God and how they needed to have relationship and then at the end talk about Christ.
During the next class, Kate and I teamed up. Since we found out that we would be back the next week, we knew we could take down the evangelism intensity a bit and focus more on building credibility and relevance. So our approach changed and we focused more on the relationships. For the second round of groups, we went into the big ball room so we could sit at bigger tables. We played Ghetto Tap and then they taught us a game called "007 Bang!". The point of the game is that 0,0,7, bang is said by either 1 person or it is shard among the group. Who ever bang lands on, the 2 people beside them must throw their hands up and go "Ah!". If you miss it, you get punishment! Next I taught them the water bucket game and they loved it! The Korean students were surprised by the abruptness of the game. I took video of it and sent it back to my Team Orange!
In the evening we participated in the Inter Christian Evangelism Festival at a local university. This was like a big Christian rally at the school and they had worship music, speakers, and entertainment. The speaker spoke totally in Korean, so we had no clue what she said, but apparently the Spirit was with her because many students stood up for the alter call. After she spoke, a group of muscle men for Christ named Team Extreme came and did all types of feats of super strong proportions that were metaphors for the Gospel. It is very similar to Team Impact or God's Warriors (FCA). One guy blew up a thick rubber hot water bottle, another broke a bat over his legs, their 7'7'' guy from Fiji rolled up a frying pan with his bare hands, phone books were ripped, and steel bars bent. They were a great group and a unique experience for many Koreans I believe. I had dinner with that 7'7" dude. He has an amaizing testimony and he is a super nice guy! I am glad he is my friend.
