OEM Prayer Retreat
In this beautiful day, we gathered here in wonderful place by Geum riverside. After we have some free time wondering around river and enjoying beautiful scenery, we had a little bit heavy but good meal, Pork Bulgogi and vegetables. Also, we had a good recreation times doing some games like pig wrestling, hide and seek prepared by Jonathan. Last but not least, our main purpose for this retreat was to pray for OEM to keep moving forward to God's plan for us.
Pastor Bhatta prepared dozens of prayer lists for our ministry and our community.
We spent about 3 hours praying and praising God and it was a great opportunity to look back on 5 months this year and asking more God's Grace upon our ministry. I am pretty sure that we are all assured by Holy Spirit that God will lead us to His miracles this year as we obey to His words and humble ourselves before God.
