HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME! 11/11

I was born on 11/11…

I always thought my birthday was cool :) I think my birthday was pre-destined. Let’s see in America it’s Veteran’s Day. In Korea it’s Pocky Sticks Day. If you put two fingers up on both hands while taking a picture, you are officially Asian which also equals 11/11. Anyways, I’m thankful to God, thankful to all my family and friends, thankful to you and thankful for being given the opportunity to LIVE!

29 years ago, my mother nearly aborted me. By the grace of God 5 minutes before she went through with the abortion she saw a Christian she knew in the hospital clinic and decided not to abort me. Thank God! I am so thankful for each day I have been given, for each breath that I’ve been given to breath, for each person I have met in this world and thankful for life.

This is my last year as twenty something… I can honestly say that I’ve given God my best. At 21 I told God I wouldn’t date for 7 years of my twenties… well, I can say that I gave it my best and at the age of 29 I’m still serving God with a single heart and full devotion. A lot of things have happened in my twenties… I’ve traveled the world preaching the Gospel of Jesus Christ, I’ve seen God do signs, wonders and miracles to touch the lost, the least and the last. I’ve witnessed the power of the Holy Spirit move unprecedented continually, day by day for the last 10 years, I’ve been on a crazy adventure with God that never seems to let up nor let me down. Yet, at the age of 29 even after encountering God and all His goodness around me, I can honestly say the one thing that makes me more happy than anything else in this world… is knowing my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

To know Him is to know happiness. To know Him is to find joy. To know Jesus is to know life. There is nothing in this world that could make me more happy than knowing that I have a Savior who loves me for me, who loves me even when I fail, who loves me even with all my problems and weaknesses, HE LOVES ME! OH HOW HE LOVES ME!

So on 11/11 I am once again reminded of the goodness of God’s love towards me. His love that has set me free from sin and bondage. His love that makes me whiter than snow. His love that satisfies, completes and fulfills me totally. His love that is everything to me. Thank You Jesus for another year, and may every year that you give me be lived, walked and breathed with You. I LOVE YOU!

EAST WEEK MAGAZINE COVERAGE ON ADDICTION TO PASSION

This past Saturday the glory of God came down at the Noah’s Ark as thousands of youth gathered from all over the city of Hong Kong to experience God’s presence and power. The night was electric, as we held a pop concert with my good friend MC Jin, Van Ness Wu, Sherman Chung, Sean from “JinuSean” and a powerful personal testimony from a young man who was delivered from a life of addiction to drugs. I came on at the end and performed LOVE and preached on being set free from addictions through the power of Jesus Christ! You could feel God’s presence so thick in the place. Every performance was dope, every artists that shared their faith from their heart was real and in the end thousands stood up to receive deliverance and salvation. I was so blessed because hundreds of youth were bused in from the poorest areas in the city who have been struggling with different kinds of addictions. So many received hope, healing and freedom through the power of the Cross and I know this is just the beginning of a love revolution that will sweep across the youth of Hong Kong and all of Asia. I’m looking forward to the next one!

ADDICTION TO PASSION HK

Noah's Ark Exact Size Replica in Hong Kong

For everyone in Hong Kong, make sure you come to our concert & outreach “ADDICTION TO PASSION” on Oct 31st, 2009 at 7PM at the Noah’s Ark on Ma Wan Island. We are expecting nearly 3,000 to come to a sold out show with my friends MC Jin, Van Ness Wu, Sean from “JinuSean” Korea, Sherman Chung, & my boy Siwon Choi from “Super Junior” and myself throwing it down on Halloween for God’s glory…

Recently, in the last years there has been major problems with drug addictions, alcohol, violence and sexual immorality to the point city officials don’t know what to do in Hong Kong. We are holding this event to proclaim a message of freedom in Jesus Christ to set the many youth in Hong Kong free from these destructive addictions. My “Soldiers of Light” Jin, Van Ness, Sean, Sherman, Siwon and others will be not only performing, but sharing personal testimonies of how God has changed their lives for the better. I KNOW this is going to be more than an event, or concert, it’s going to be a straight on ENCOUNTER WITH GOD and HIS ANGELS setting every young person in that place free from darkness by the power of His LIGHT!!!

As of right now, the concert is sold out but call your local ticket holders or go to this link to see if there are any options. Pray for this concert and outreach to rain down God’s glory, set free every prisoner in bondage and release the light of Jesus Christ into Hong Kong for a new revival across this island….GOD KNOWS WE NEED LIGHT IN THESE DAYS…
