I've been asked, and have a few moments, so will explain what I'm doing in Korea this week.
No, I am NOT getting a facelift. I AM getting a faith lift. Faithlift is a local conference hosted by Yongsan Chapel/PWOC. It is interdenominational. There are over 200 women in attendance...that's my guess and I'll look for an official number today. ::grin:: I know over 200 were registered.
From the name you may have guessed that our focus is to help women prosper in their faith.
What am I personally doing here?
Wednesday I spoke to the Yongsan PWOC...helped decorate South Post chapel for Faithlift, and went out to dinner with Adriane's family. Adriane is this year's Faithlift Director. I also met our new regional financial liaison. Sese is an amazing answer to prayer! I met with a Korean/American missionary who lives in China and has a heart and ministry in North Korea...but I'll not share more of that here.
Thursday I attended Yongsan's Leadership Brunch. I helped to answer questions about how our new region functions to support local groups. Lauren and I went sightseeing and had a blast. I spent time encouraging a few leaders.
Friday we went to the MARKET in the a.m. Loved being back in an Asia marked...loved the haggling...love my new "coach" purse. ::snort:: I connected, IN PERSON, with two of our regional team....Rachelle and Lauren. We met with the Yongsan Garrison Chaplain. He offered some great suggetions for us as we brainstorm our on-going training and mentoring of this region's PWOC leaders. We then met with Ch. Arthur Pace and conducted our first-ever Asia Region board meeting. Sese, Rachelle, Lauren, Ch. Pace and I began....and Tracy - what a sport - zipped in from the airport and joined us in process. We joined prayer warriors in progress. We had dinner, kicked off faithlift....and it is good.
Saturday- we have yet to see all that God has planned for this day. I know that I'll be facilitating/speaking at two workshops. I know we'll hear from annointed ladies of God in our main sessions, Kwanda Dixon and Brenda Marlin. I sense the transforming work that God plans to accomplish today in our personal lives, in our marriages, families, during deployments and stress......God has good things to share with His daughters today. I have been excited and awake for quite some time.....
Choosing Joy!

Thank you for helping out and putting on a wonderful breakout session. I have received many good reports about it. The total number of ladies present this weekend was 247.
I went to FaithLift back in 2003 or 2004... even though we lived right there on South Post, we splurged and stayed at the Dragon Hill Lodge. It was the first year that MCCW had an active role in the retreat (at least I think it was the first year)
SO excited, SO proud, SO humbled by all of this! Can't wait to hear more stories!
Looking at the PWOC site for my dd. Maybe England or Hawaii on the job next... Enjoyed that you all keep up the site so well.
Anonymous,
I hope you have found the official PWOCI website - pwoc.org. It contains a wealth of info that may help your daughter make connections when she finds out where she is moving.
