Scripture:
 
And I heard the voice of the Lord saying, “Whom shall I send, and who will go for us?” Then I said, “Here I am! Send me.” (ISAIAH 6:8)
 
Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. Whoever believes in me, though he die, yet shall he live, and everyone who lives and believes in me shall never die. Do you believe this?” (JOHN 11:25-26)
 
He himself bore our sins in his body on the tree, that we might die to sin and live to righteousness. By his wounds you have been healed. (1 PETER 2:24)
 
Prayer (by Pastor Chester):
Heavenly Father, we lift up to You a heart that gives thanks, for You alone are good, and Your steadfast love endures forever. With You, no circumstance can keep us from thanking You and rejoicing in You always. So we give You thanks with a grateful heart, for what You have done in completing the pastoral ordination journey of Your servant, Minister Will Zhao. Thank You for giving our Pastor an opportunity to spiritually invest and mentor his time, and finishing the journey with him. Make Minister Zhao the servant like Isaiah, who said, “Here I am, Lord, send me!” May great ministry await him and great glory be given to You through Minister Zhao’s pastoral life. Thank You for giving us the opportunity to pray for and meet him. Father God, we also thank You for giving us the honor to know and meet the late Deacon Tae-Kwon Lee. We thank You for His godly example and life as an offering to You and legacy of Christ to us. May we never forget His servant’s heart in the background washing dishes, mopping floors, cleaning tables. May we relive the servant heart of Jesus we saw through him. Receive Your servant, Deacon Tae-Kwon Lee, into Your everlasting arms, and wipe away every tear from his two children and widowed wife, that You may restore the joy of their salvation that will be joined to his with You at the last day. Though we die, we shall live, all who believe and live shall never die, as You promised. So also Your life remains for sister Jihoon. Get her up and walking in fuller strength. Put back together her ankle, joints, and foot. Bring Jihoon and Elena back to us safely., For by Your wounds, we are all healed with the body that bore our sins on that tree. In the Name of the our Lead Servant, Resurrection, and Healer, Jesus Christ our Lord we pray, Amen & amen.
