Instead of writing long monthly updates, which I never seem to do, I am going to try just writing shorter ones as they happen.
We minister to some older Jeju native ladies who sell produce at an open air market. They are there nearly every day. We go on Saturday afternoons and give them a nice snack of coffee or tea and a homemade cookie. There are about 30-40 ladies on our route. We have done this since January a year ago. Our desire is for them to understand that we care about them and so does Jesus. These ladies can't afford to rent a booth inside of the market itself so they set up on the ground surrounding the market area on the sidewalks. During the winter is it so cold and windy and during the summer it is hot. We have had special dinners for them every quarter when we have been here. We invite them all to come to our mission center for a nice Korean meal. During the meal we sing Christian songs and give testimonies. Sue, our fellow worker here in Jeju, also gives the Gospel presentation. We have done this 3 times. About 10 ladies have come to each of these dinners. At first they were very, very suspicious of us. There were about 2 or 3 that were already believers and active in a local place of worship. The others knew nothing about Jesus. Each time we have had some ladies pray a prayer but they are not interested in studying the Word. This past Easter we had our latest one. This time many ladies came on their own to the center. Usually we have to go down to the market area and bring them back. They are definitely getting more comfortable with us. We pray that they will open their hearts to the Holy Spirit and receive the Son as their personal Lord and Savior. We will have another dinner toward the end of August. Please pray for these ladies.
The following is a video clip lasting a little over 5 minutes. It shows some clips from our ministry to these ladies this past Saturday. We hope you enjoy seeing it.
Thanks,
The Hamlines
