James Cha & Faith Cha – Rev. James Cha is an ordained Presbyterian minister who, alongside his wife Faith Cha, has been serving as missionaries to the Muslim world for the past 25 years - 10 of those years in Uzbekistan and Kyrgyzstan as church planting missionaries with Pioneers, during which time over 120 Muslims came to Christ by God’s grace over the course of their ministry. Rev. James Cha was born in Pusan, Korea, and immigrated to the United States in the early 1970's with his family. While studying electrical engineering at Cornell University, he surrendered his life to the call of God to be His ambassador to the world, especially to the Muslim world. In 1991, he married his best friend, Faith, and after completing ministry training at Columbia Biblical Seminary in South Carolina and YWAM's Crossroads DTS Discipleship Training School in Kona, Hawaii, the Cha's took their three young children - Joniel, Josiah, and Karis - to Central Asia to serve the Lord as church planting missionaries. Since 2000, the Cha's have been back in the U.S. reaching out to the nations living in their community in Virginia. They are on staff with Crescent Project, a ministry that equips local churches to reach out to Muslims. James and Faith are also founders of i43, a ministry committed to fulfilling the Great Commission to the ends of the earth. Currently, they oversee the ESL (English as Second Language) ministry at Cornerstone Chapel in Leesburg, Virginia and are actively teaching and preaching at missions conferences across the country. James and Faith are respected and experienced experts on world missions, spiritual warfare, evangelism through ESL ministry, and outreach to Muslims. James is the author of, "Fear Not: Living a Life of No Regrets” which details his missional calling and experience on the mission field with biblical wisdom and pastoral insight.

“I will Remember the Deeds of the LORD” (PSALM 77:11-20) (1.) [v.11-15] This psalm is written by Asaph, who was the foremost worship musician in the days of King David and King Solomon. The psalms were the first sacred worship songs of praise and adoration to God. Here, Asaph appears to be troubled by the thought that God had abandoned him, questioning if the Lord’s steadfast love had ceased (v.7-8) and if the Lord’s anger had shut up His compassion (v.9). Because of this, Asaph could not sleep (v.2). God appeared to be keeping his eyelids open (v.4) without bringing the comfort his soul needed (v.2-3), although he had found that comfort in the past and appealed to it (v.5-6, 10). Despite his sleepless soul and troubled thoughts, what does Asap decide to do (v.11-12)? What does Asap declare about God’s way and God’s works (v.13-15)? How is the Lord wanting you to honestly confess your emotions, doubts, and confusion to Him? Through this holy confession, what does Asaph call us to remember as the year 2025 comes to an end? What does Asaph teach us to declare about God’s way and God’s works from 2025, as he declared about Jacob and Joseph, to keep us from spiritual slumber and troubled thoughts? How do we easily forget and abandon God’s wondrous works and redeeming arm? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (2.) [v.16-18] Asaph remembers the greatest wondrous work of God in splitting the Red Sea for the Israelites to cross over on dry ground as they were being chased by the Egyptian army. When all the Israelites had crossed over, a rainstorm caused the Egyptian chariot wheels to swerve (Exodus 14:25) and ultimately be drowned as the sea came back up to its depth. Through personification, what does Asap say the waters, clouds, and skies did when they saw God (v.16-17), and what it caused on the earth (v.18)? How can we see all of 2025 as how God saw it, and fear Him? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (3.) [v.19-20] Although it was Moses and Aaron who visibly led the Israelites through the Red Sea, whose invisible footprints ultimately brought their deliverance (v.19-20)? Where were unseen footprints of God that delivered you through 2025? How has the Lord shepherded you invisibly through visible footprints from 2025? [Korean translation] “여호와의 일들을 기억하리라” (시편 77장 11-20절) (1.) [11-15절] 이 시편은 다윗 왕과 솔로몬 왕 시대에 가장 뛰어난 찬양 음악가였던 아삽이 지었습니다. 시편은 하나님께 드리는 최초의 거룩한 찬양과 경배의 노래였습니다. 여기서 아삽은 하나님께서 자신을 버리셨다는 생각에 괴로워하며, 주님의 변함없는 사랑이 그쳤는지(7-8절), 주님의 진노가 그의 자비를 덮어 버렸는지(9절) 의문을 품습니다. 이 때문에 아삽은 잠을 이루지 못했습니다(2절). 하나님께서는 그의 눈을 뜨게 하시는 듯했지만(4절), 과거에 위로를 받았던 아삽이 그 위로를 간절히 구했음에도 불구하고(2-3절), 그의 영혼에 필요한 위로를 주시지 않았습니다(5-6절, 10절). 잠 못 이루는 밤과 괴로운 생각 속에서도 아삽은 무엇을 하기로 결심했을까요(11-12절)? 그리고 하나님의 길과 그의 행하심에 대해 무엇을 선포했을까요(13-15절)? 주님께서는 당신이 자신의 감정, 의심, 혼란을 어떻게 솔직하게 주님께 고백하기를 원하십니까? 이 거룩한 고백을 통해 아삽은 2025년이 저물어가는 이 시점에서 우리에게 무엇을 기억하라고 일깨워 줍니까? 아삽은 야곱과 요셉에 대해 선포했듯이, 2025년에도 하나님의 길과 역사하심에 대해 무엇을 선포해야 영적인 나태함과 불안한 생각에서 벗어날 수 있는지 가르쳐 줍니까? 우리는 어떻게 쉽게 하나님의 놀라운 역사와 구원의 손길을 잊고 버리게 됩니까? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (2.) [16-18절] 아삽은 이집트 군대에 쫓기던 이스라엘 백성이 마른 땅으로 건너갈 수 있도록 하나님께서 홍해를 가르신 가장 놀라운 기적을 기억합니다. 모든 이스라엘 백성이 건너간 후, 폭풍우가 몰아쳐 이집트 병거의 바퀴가 휘어졌고(출애굽기 14:25), 결국 바닷물이 다시 차올라 병거들이 물에 잠겼습니다. 아삽은 의인화를 통해 물과 구름과 하늘이 하나님을 보았을 때 어떤 일이 일어났는지(16-17절) 그리고 그것이 땅에 어떤 영향을 미쳤는지(18절)를 말합니다. 우리는 어떻게 2025년을 하나님의 시각으로 바라보고 그분을 경외할 수 있을까요? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (3.) [19-20절] 모세와 아론이 이스라엘 백성을 홍해를 건너도록 인도한 것은 분명하지만, 궁극적으로 그들을 구원한 것은 보이지 않는 그들의 발자취였습니다(19-20절). 2025년 한 해 동안 당신을 구원한 보이지 않는 하나님의 발자취는 어디에 있었습니까? 2025년부터 주님께서는 어떻게 보이지 않는 방식으로, 눈에 보이는 발자취를 통해 당신을 인도해 오셨습니까? *UPCOMING HAPPIEST BIRTHDAY TO YOU FROM OUR HOSANNA FAMILY!
