The students, teachers, and workers of the language school gathered at Howon University in Kunsan City to experience the summer showers of the Holy Spirit. A them was ‘Jesus is Practical,’ and the main target of the bible camp was students who learn English, Japanese, or Chinese at the SDA institutes.

Ninety seven new souls got baptized receiving Jesus Christ as their personal savior during the bible festival. “Jesus is practical, knowing and controlling the future as well as the past of everyone,” said Pastor Hyveth Williams during her sermons at the meeting, who is Pastor of Lomalinda Campus Hill Church. “He understands all our experiences and problems. If we give our heart to Jesus completely, He will surely accept them.”
