By the grace of God, in the month of February 2012 we at Christ Mission Ashram had our 25th Anniversary and celebrated it together with partners from around the world. Find in this video some of the greetings from abroad, followed by a short video remembring what God did in our midst in the past years.
I would first like to give thanks to my living God for His continuous love and sustaining support even in the time of global financial crisis. God has challenged us by giving us the vision to reach the un-reached people groups (Mt. 24:14) and the wish to add more to the gather one (Isa. 56:8). 24 years from now when both of us started Christ Mission Ashram, God challenged us with the Bible verse Matthew 9:37 “The harvest is plentiful but the laborers are few,” and now after establishing more than 100 churches, God is still saying, “add more and more till I come”. Therefore, thank you for your love, prayer and support and please continue to do so until the nets are full.
Hereby it is my joy to write a report on the happenings of the past six months of Christ Mission Ashram.

2009년, 금년 한 해에도 하나님의 은혜가 풍성했음을 고백합니다. 그 동안 우리 선교회 산하 모든 성도들이 성경 일독을 은혜 중에 마칠 수 있었으며, 금년 1월 2일부터 다시 두 번째 성경 일독을 시작할 수 있었습니다. 모든 교회와 성도들이 매일 성경 읽는 일에 최선을 다하고 있습니다. 최근 몇 개월간 출애굽기부터 사무엘까지 읽었습니다. 우리 모두는 아브라함, 이삭, 야곱, 모세, 여호수아, 사무엘 및 사울과 다윗과 함께 하셨던 살아계신 그 하나님을 발견할 수 있었으며, 오늘 그 주님이 우리와 함께 계심을, 그리고 하나님의 성령이 우리와 함께 하고 계심을 믿습니다. 성탄절에 즈음하여 우리 선교회 보고를 통해 여러분들과 그 기쁨을 함께 나누길 소망합니다.
Our living Lord has been very gracious to us during the year 2009. By God’s grace we were able to finish reading the entire Bible one time and restarted it on 2nd January 2009 from Genesis chapter one. Our entire mission, all the churches and believers decided to go through the Bible together and read at least one chapter each day. During these few months we have read Exodus ~ Samuel. We found that our living “God was” with Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Moses, Joshua, Samuel, Saul & David, today the same Lord is with us (Mt. 28:20). The Spirit of God is with us as it was with Samuel, David etc. In this time of joyful Christmas we are happy to give you the brief report of our mission.
