The PCM (Public Campus Ministries) mission of Sanmin Church has again borne abundant fruit this year. On Sabbath, November 16, 2024, an inspiring baptism ceremony was held for two young individuals, Wang Shiwei and Li Jie. This significant event resulted from God’s grace and the church’s persistent missionary efforts.
This baptism was the culmination of months of dedication, as these young individuals embraced the gospel during evangelistic meetings held in August and September and continued to study the Bible diligently. A small group evangelistic meeting in September focused on youth and was particularly impactful. It provided a precious opportunity for young people to take an active role, experience spiritual challenges, and grow in faith.
The consistent efforts of missionaries Kim SoYeon and Ayumu played a pivotal role. Every Sabbath, they led Sabbath School lessons and afternoon worship, building deep spiritual connections with the youth. Their unwavering dedication has become a cornerstone for young people to sustain and grow their faith. Reflecting on this, Missionary Kim SoYeon said, “We plant the seeds, but God reaps the harvest,” emphasizing the divine work behind their efforts.
The fruits of these baptisms reaffirm the importance of youth ministry. Through the dedication and participation of the younger generation, the church is becoming more vibrant and future-oriented.
Kim GwangSung, the senior pastor of Sanmin Church, stated, “Missionary work brings the greatest blessing to the missionaries themselves and also extends grace to the youth in the mission fields. I hope this ministry will continue to provide spiritual benefits to Adventist youth in Korea and opportunities for salvation to the youth in Taiwan.”
Meanwhile, Sanmin Church is planning a Korean Language Camp in collaboration with Saecheonan Church of the Middle West Korean Conference early next year. This project will provide local youth with a valuable opportunity to learn Korean culture and share their faith. The PCM mission of Sanmin Church does not merely end with events like baptisms but serves as a foundation for ongoing spiritual growth. Through these efforts, the active commitment of young people is leading the church toward a more dynamic and forward-looking future.
