Each year, Seoul Baptist Church sends a group down to the Villa. We absolutely LOVE having them and the kids look forward to their visit each year.
This church has a way of developing servants who truly seek the Lord. This year SBC sent a team of 10 people and God used them to bless us!
The group designed and planted a garden for us down at the apartments that is full of beautiful flowers and posts with all the kids names. They also joined us for a outreach that we did in a small village called Canton. Over 100 kids came to participate in songs, dancing, games, and the chance to hear the Gospel. It wouldn't have been possible for us to do this outreach without the energy and help of this team.
They also helped us with our first International Day where they made sushi and shared their culture with everyone who attended.
In addition, they blessed the kids at the Villa with a lot of activities and games. And they blessed the staff with fantastic Korean food and a lot of fellowship.
The team taught me so much about truly having a servant's heart. On Tuesday they planted a garden. On Wednesday they tore it all up, bought new plants ane re-did the entire garden because they didn't like the first one. I was so impressed by that attitude. They wanted the garden to be perfect. We were mostly strangers to them, and it wasn't their own house, and yet they wanted us to have the best they could give.
Sometimes it's easy for us to do less-than-perfect job, but they gave it their all. True servants.
Serve others with all your heart, with a heart like God's.
