By Bishop D. Chris Thompson<\/strong><\/p>\n

The annual training and business conference of the Korean (American) Conference was held May 17-19, 2016, at the World Agape Mission Church in downtown Los Angeles.\u00a0 The pastor is John Kim.\u00a0 He is also the conference bishop and has been so for thirty-five years.<\/p>\n

Nearly seventy official delegates gathered from the United States, Mexico, South Africa, and Israel.\u00a0 During the service on Wednesday night over 200 people were present.<\/p>\n

I enjoy so much attending this annual conference.\u00a0 The hospitality was superb.\u00a0 Timothy Yoo was my assigned host.\u00a0 Michael Choo was my driver.\u00a0 These two brothers were such a blessing.\u00a0 I have known Timothy for a number of years.\u00a0\u00a0 He is the English pastor at World Agape and special assistant to Bishop Kim.<\/p>\n

I arrived on late Tuesday and enjoyed a nice dinner with my hospitality team.\u00a0 On Wednesday morning, I taught three sessions and led in a ministry time.\u00a0 My first session was the 2016 Holiness theme and video.\u00a0 The material was well received.\u00a0 I then conducted two training sessions entitled \u2013 \u201cCommunicating His Vision\u201d and \u201c4 Miracles Needed by the IPHC.\u201d\u00a0 I must say I was encouraged and blessed by the reception of the material.\u00a0 The ministry time was anointed.<\/p>\n

On Wednesday night, I preached.\u00a0 After preaching, I think I prayed for everyone present.\u00a0 I know I was exhausted when I returned to the hotel.\u00a0 It was truly a spirit anointed time.\u00a0 I would sleep three hours and then head for the airport to return home early Thursday.<\/p>\n

Pastor Timothy Yoo was my translator.\u00a0 He is excellent!\u00a0 It is always a joy to minister with him.\u00a0 He is an excellent instructor as to culture, etc.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Michael, my driver and armor bearer, is a delightful young man and pastors a small church.\u00a0 He served in the Marine Corp and looks the part.\u00a0 He walked me to my room and made sure all was well.\u00a0 He has passed his exams for ordination and will be ordained next year.<\/p>\n

No one was ordained this year.\u00a0 Three candidates passed, but under a new system adopted this year, they must wait and \u201cbe observed.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Korean (American) Conference has churches around the world.\u00a0 I must declare that I feel that they are just before moving forward with great expansion and blessing.<\/p>\n

Bishop John Kim has done well as the bishop.\u00a0 As I was leaving for home, he was leaving for a month of preaching in Korea.<\/p>\n

May the Lord bless the Korean Conference.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"excerpt","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":855,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_genesis_hide_title":false,"_genesis_hide_breadcrumbs":false,"_genesis_hide_singular_image":false,"_genesis_hide_footer_widgets":false,"_genesis_custom_body_class":"","_genesis_custom_post_class":"","_genesis_layout":"","episode_type":"","audio_file":"","cover_image":"","cover_image_id":"","duration":"","filesize":"","date_recorded":"","explicit":"","block":"","filesize_raw":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[180,95,87,112,318],"class_list":{"0":"post-890","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-general","8":"tag-180","9":"tag-conference","10":"tag-conference-report","11":"tag-korean-american","12":"tag-may","13":"entry"},"title_es":"","content_es":"","author_name":"","jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/iphc.org\/gso\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2016\/05\/2016-Conference-Recap-Graphic-2.jpg","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/pb62Bx-em","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/iphc.org\/gso\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/890","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/iphc.org\/gso\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/iphc.org\/gso\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/iphc.org\/gso\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/iphc.org\/gso\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=890"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/iphc.org\/gso\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/890\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/iphc.org\/gso\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/855"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/iphc.org\/gso\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=890"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/iphc.org\/gso\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=890"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/iphc.org\/gso\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=890"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
