At the age 13 years old, I was asking myself the meaning of life, and by the grace of God, he gave me an answer, and i came face to face with him. Because of this past experience, i was very excited to become a teacher at 말씀기도 school, teaching students who were at the age where i had met God.

Through 말씀기도 school, I was so surprised by the spiritual maturity of the students and I could see that God worked in them even though they were young.

One student shared only one line at first, but as the months passed, his sharing became deeper. One day when we were teaching about confession, he wrote, "I confess that every time I repent it feels like a massive amount of weight is lifted off my shoulders." This kind of confession, the repentance of sin, is only possible by the work of the Holy Spirit, and I was so thankful and praised God.

Another student was victorious in the the spiritual battle. He shared that he felt like there was no meaning in life, but he eventually confessed that the truth was that God had created him and he now had purpose in his life. “I must put more trust in my Lord, God is my reason for living, not anything else”.   

A third student shared his weakness so honestly that all the teachers, myself included, cried as we could see that he was changing through prayer and the words of God.

Finally, there was one student who didn't share for months. Then finally he wrote once. Then he became quiet again for some time. Then he begain to write more and more often and finally opened up his heart. Although it took him a while, the important thing was that he had grown in faith.

Even though they were only 12-13 years old, they continued to confess their faith. 

There were also moment where i thought "how is this possible?", and it was those time where i felt God telling me "through me it is possible".

There were also times were I found ways to run  말씀기도 school in a better way.  For the first six months, parents were not invited to the high school sharing rooms on Kakaotalk. Without the help of the parents it was rather quiet and there was not much sharing.  After realising that, teachers decided to invite all parents into the Kakaotalk sharing room. After that, sharing became more consistent in the chat rooms.

In the high school chat room, the team work with parents created a truly amazing synergy. I learnt that the children being with parents in the sharing room was the key to help them. (* The parents were not allowed to talk in the sharing room)

I clearly could see God teaching them through the holy spirit. God really has been working. I could see that how much God wanted to feed them well spiritually and he has been feeding them abundantly.

I praise God for his zeal to save his people.

Hallelujah!
