The family and I will be spending a few days in NYC. With all my frequent mileage, we were able to get free tickets. I am looking forward to spending some quality time with them, albeit it is only for a few days. It is things like this that help the kids remember that ministry […]

It was great hanging out with the Freshmen class last night. I opened up the floor for questions and of course questions about how I met Christina, relationship and all the fun stuff came up 🙂 I did close out by sharing about giving 3 months to a year of their life overseas as we […]

Even after this trip out S.E. Asia, I was reminded about the importance of being connected to the network of relationships that God sovereignly brought together. In every single stop that we have made (from Singapore, Hong Kong to Jakarta) it was great reconnecting with people who shared a common experience – transformation at HMCC! […]

It is good to be back. I can’t wait until the airlines start using some of the bigger planes so that we can have more direct flights around the world. In the midst of trying to save some money our flight from Jakarta-Singapore-Hong Kong-Chicago-Detroit nearly killed us physically (I don’t know if I want to […]

What an awesome weekend! I am still trying to process through everything. We are going to have a staff meeting tomorrow morning; so hopefully we will be able to evaluate and spend some time in praise to God. I was reminded once again that when everyone contributes and does their part, it becomes a powerful […]

        I am looking forward to having our Easter Celebration at the Michigan Theater again. Last year’s celebration was a blessing as we were able to use one of the historic theaters in Ann Arbor. By God’s grace we were able to pack out the place last year; and we are praying […]

        For some reason, more than previous years, I am growing a greater appreciation for the cross. Maybe it is because as a person gets older, they are realizing more of their weaknesses and shortcomings. This causes a person to see more of their need for forgiveness, mercy and grace.

        I don’t know if you feel like this picture sometimes. We see all the “way out” signs, but sometimes it feels as if there is “no way out.” Sometimes I come across various pictures that communicate different messages. I was thinking about when we are in the middle of a decision, […]

        It is about that time again when the Kim family prints out the NCAA tourney bracket and does some research on ESPN.com, then finally fills out the brackets. It is kind of funny how each person is a little different. Some are methodical in their approach. Others are carefree as they […]

It is always awesome to reconnect with old HMCC members. Today, Charles and Joyce Kim (and their kids) came to AA for a visit and they are staying with us. They ended up joining us for the Wednesday Covenant small group (for married couples) tonight. It brought back a lot of memories because not only […]

Usually Mondays are rest days for pastors, but I have found out that Mondays are the best days to meet as a staff. Since a lot of things from the weekend are still fresh in our mind, we are able to give better evaluation and feedback, which in turns improves the ministry. We have also […]

My younger brother, Marc who lives out in California always has a knack of meeting various people wherever he goes. He thinks it is because of connections… I think it is because he is just at the right place at the right time 🙂 I need his anointing.                                                              Marc and whoever this […]

        Whenever I meet up with people throughout the week, it is almost inevitable that I will talk with some people who are going through some “desert times.” It is not the easiest period to go through. I remember many “desert times” in my life and how difficult it was to stay […]
