I am enjoying my seminary studies more now. I learn much from the chapel messages. I wish there were a more lively discussion going on with the chapel messages, among students. I have not seen postings from another student. It may be that I merely do not know how to navigate the site, and comments can be viewed somewhere, though I know not yet where.
I had a thought today. I would like to serve God in Israel. How many Southern Baptist missionaries are there in Israel? One site I checked had an ongoing discussion wherein some posters reflected a belief that it was illegal to evangelize in Israel, while another poster said that it has been legal since 1996.
I thought I could perhaps get my foot in the door as an English teacher. I would hope to join a Baptist church there and offer to teach Sunday School and preach at the English services they have, if I can find such an opportunity. We'll see. For now, I am delighted to be a seminarian, and have several years ahead of me. I just can't help but wonder sometimes about where I will be serving in the future. I am sure God will open those doors when the time comes.
I cannot study full time (15 hours a semester), as I am a father of five children, ages 2 to 12, and they need me much, given that my wife is a South Korean who is studying hard to acquire English now. We will move to Wake Forest, NC, in February of next year. She depends heavily on me to help care for our children. I love the time I have with my children.
I will include a photo of us together in a local park here in Daejeon.
Love, Nathaniel
