Here's a video taken in the chapel after dinner...
It was my privilege to spend my last weekend in Asia at Jesus Abbey. They are an intentional prayer community of about 30 Spirit filled members. They also constitute the sending community for Gamaliel and Gloria Kim, LEI missionaries serving in Ulan Bator, Mongolia.
The community is set in the mountains of Eastern Korea, about a 4 hour train ride from Seoul. Because of its beautiful setting, the demand to come and visit has been increasing over the years, upwards to 100 visitors per day.
The abbey was quieter than usual, since they are in the midst of 3 months without visitors. I was an exception for the weekend, as the guest preacher. The respite from visitors is in part to allow for a season of discernment to determine the balance between serving others as a place of retreat and serving others through prayer.
May God give Jesus Abbey and its members all wisdom and insight as to its future role in building God’s kingdom.
