A unique year in my life

For many years I wanted to know what my life had been given for. I searched for the answer, asking and praying. But I couldn't get the answer. I was really thirsty for the ultimate goal of
my life.

Finally 2 years ago I was given the answer. It was a calling for my life. I got the answer from
my God. Because of that I could come to America, quitting my job and leaving my family. But
God blessed me with my own new family, my wife.

I want to build a new church. I have already named it; East Chicago Church. My wife and I
want to serve others with God's word. If they come to know Jesus, their lives will surely be
changed. To let them know God and His love, we have to reflect His glory and love. However
We don't think we are so mature as to do this. We have to grow everyday.

So my wife and I set growing in Jesus as our first goal. We have prayer and family worship
service every day. We intercede for many people. We read the Bible on a daily basis. All
these things will help us to know God's will and to meet Him in our everyday life.

Secondly we have decided to read tens of books. She is going to read 25 books and I am going
to read 50 books in this year. Books enlarge our perspective and deepen our thought.

Thirdly I will work out regularly, 3 times a week. When I have the physical exercise time, my
wife checks it beside me. And this makes it funnier.

As this year is the beginning year of the church I want to build in Chicago, there will be many
challenges and hardships. But, until now, God has always helped me so evidently. I trust him
with all my hearts. So I don't draw back. He will help me and be glorified through me.
