  • My platelets count was 7 this morning.  So I received my transfusion and they'll be discharging me to Hospice care tomorrow.  Please don't see this as defeat or that God is not answering our prayers.  He surely has a greater plan than what we all can see.  I'm pretty weak, having a hard time eating and nausous but I'm still fighting.  In a way I can't wait to meet people at the new place and see what God wants me to do there.  Clinging to the Cross.

    Surely this is not defeat.  Keep pressing on, HyungBoo.  Keep praying and hoping.  Know that we are all fighting with you!!

    Hello,


    Allow me to introduce myself.  My name is Sungho Yoo,  I am a member of GCC.  Ever since Pastor Young called on our congregation to pray on your behalf,  I have been praying and following your blog.


    I just wanted to take this opportunity to thank you for being a tremendous blessing and encouragement to me personally.  Through reading of your battle and praying for you,  God has really shown me a new dimension of His undying faithfulness and love.


    I will never forget this moment. 


    God Bless You... and I will be fighting with you as well.

    Dear Ethan,


    Just in case you still think that this is a test--- you more than passed the test, and your reward will be eternal! You have fought the good fight and have won the race, and I will forever remember your witness to me! I will still lift you each in prayer, and trust complicitely in our Lord and Savior's perfect plan for you. He will greet you with open arms, and say, "Well done, good and faithful servant!"


    My promise to you is this: I will teach your children in our nursery school with loving kindness, and shepherd them with Christian love. I will reach out to your loving wife, and do whatever I can for your family.


    with love and thanks for sharing your faith

    Hello, my name is Insung and I'm a member of City Line Church. We have several close mutual friends. Your blog has been an amazing source of inspiration for many of my friends as well as many of my patients, some who are either suffering from terminal diseases or dealing with family members who are. In particular, one of my close friends from high school recently found out that his mother just got diagnosed with advanced gastric cancer.  Your faith has comforted my friend and he is slowly beginning to see God's grace in his and his mother's lives. Neither of them attend church until recently and I can see how your testimony is impacting them. Whether it is one day or 100 years, we are mere strangers on this earth, to live otherwise is foolish and futile. Your testimony reminds me of that fact, to be kingdom minded and that one day, all believers will be reunited in God's amazing presence.

    Hey Ethan,

       Thanks for all your encouragement and continued encouragement.  GOD has surely blessed you and your family and that even in such circumstance your love and joy is like none other.  May GOD use you to do great things at that Hospice.  I hope to see you again soon.  Thanks for sharing GODs word with me it meant a lot at this point and time in my life.  In the mean time if you feel like I recommend you watch this video http://youtube.com/watch?v=_e4zgJXPpI4 its really good.  Its only 8 mins long so its nothing extensive.  I'll keep praying for you.  Remember in GOD we already have the victory. 

    With lots of love and prayer

  • hopeera

    Dear Yong Min,
    I'm fighting in prayer for you too! You are an incredible servant--bringing much glory to His name and making Him so famous!  I truly hope you know that.  Anne, you, the boys, Tabitha & extended fam. are all in my prayers often and much.  Thank you for updating as often as you do and for sharing your deepest of struggles and joys. I really do look forward to hearing about how everyone is doing whenever I am online.  I'm so blessed by your will to fight and for the love you share with Anne and the family.  So many people love you and are rooting for you, please know that. May God give you comfort, sleep, and more determination this week.

    Prayerfully,
    Esther Ra

    I don't know and you certainly don't know me. But I came across your page through Pastor Matt's site. Not sure who he is either just subscribed to the Agape Christians Group.


    I will be praying for your full recovery and don't take this as defeat, if you do then you are just letting Satan win the battle and we can't have that happen!! GOD is our strong ROCK and no one or nothing can and will not change that for us.


    I pray that GOD will bring you back to whole!! And some day soon we can all rejoice in teh fact that GOD is truly a loving one!!


    GOD bliess you and keep you safe from harm!!


    Take care!
