TESTIMONY BY NMACHI
This is a very interesting time in my life as I’m still trying to figure out what God is doing. I had planned for a while to come to Korea for a couple of months after graduate school, as I had been studying Korean on my own as a hobby and had never gotten the chance to visit. However, as I continued to pray about it during the last year of my PhD, I felt the push from God to come not just for a couple of months, but for a whole year. Since then God has been continuously faithful in allowing this to happen: providing me with numerous contacts in the months leading up to my move (when previously I knew pretty much no one in Korea), establishing a place for me in the language institute at Sogang University, securing me an apartment before I even left the U.S., and even forging a path professionally with a big company allowing me to delay my job offer for a year so that I could do this. In preparing to move to Seoul some of the things I prayed most for were a place to live, a community, a gym, and a church. God brought me to King’s Cross through a forgotten open tab on my computer that was the result of me getting overwhelmed after Googling “English speaking churches in Seoul.” This church has felt like such a deep breath at a time in my life where everything has been difficult and unfamiliar. Through the retreat and coming to service on Sundays I’ve met some great people who have made this community a safe space for me. Though I still don’t know why God has brought me to Korea, I know that He is faithful and I am trusting Him that my time here will serve a great purpose. Though my time in Seoul so far has been brief, I am looking forward to further establishing myself in the King’s Cross community in 2025!
