To celebrate the 10th anniversary of the Golden Angels, Northern Asia-Pacific Division (NSD) held a thanksgiving concert. The concert was held at the Sahmyook University Church on January 11, 2014. More than 800 people, including families, youth members and church members, gathered to enjoy this beautiful time.
With the theme “The Singing Missionary,” the first half of the program was filled with grace as the Golden Angels sang songs loved by all. The president of Korean Union Conference and other conference presidents sent their congratulations via webcam. There was a special presentation on the singing missionaries during the past 10 years (Korean: 65, International: 22, Total: 87) and their efforts, their tears, their joys, and testimonies, and the five DVDs and eleven CDs they have produced.
Also the founder of the Golden Angels, NSD President Lee Jairyong thanked and encouraged the missionaries for their help with the mission work of the Pioneer Mission Movement missionaries through their music. He also thanked God for working through the singing missionaries for the past ten years. The audience welcomed the new 11th group singing missionaries who would carry out the work of the Holy Spirit for the next year.
The second part of the concert gave the audience time to think about our mission and hope for Jesus’ advent with songs titled “Only by His Calling,” “Fishers of Men,” “On That Day,” “One Voice, One Mission” and more. Everyone continued to give praise and glory to God.
Because the NSD covers a population of 1.6 billion people, which is a quarter of the world’s population, there are always challenges. In addition to the praise worship mission team, the Golden Angels, different types of mission work should be initiated to hasten the advent of Jesus. Therefore, the activity of the only praise worship mission team exclusive to a division must have a clear purpose as they continue God’s mission. It is a fact that divisions and conferences around the globe are calling for the need of the Golden Angels. We pray that there will be more mission teams like the Golden Angels so that they may be at the forefront of the work of the Lord.
