“I consecrate all that I am and all that I have, the faculties of my mind, the members of my body, my worldly possessions, my time, and my influence over others, all to be used entirely for thy glory and resolutely employed in obedience to thy commands as long as Thou continuest me in life.”
Thomas Maclellan as quoted on the Generous Giving website. His legacy contributed to the formation of the Maclellan Foundation in Chattanooga, TN, and subsequent generations formed Generous Giving which has hosted conferences and Journey of Generosity (JOG) spiritual retreats to stir thousands across America to reflect on biblical truth as a basis for growing in Christian generosity.
This past week my friend, Sung Wook Chung (Professor at Denver Seminary), and I had the privilege of introducing Daryl Heald, founder of Generous Giving and its new international counterpart, Global Generosity Movement, to church leaders in Seoul, South Korea. We hosted a JOG, I got to train 500 pastors at Yoido Full Gospel Church, and I also had the privilege of preaching at Myung Sung Church, Noryangjin Church, and Anyang Church.
We were also joined by an elder from Menlo Park Presbyterian Church, David Kim, of Silicon Valley. Each of us delivered presentations at a symposium on Business as Mission hosted by Kurios International and Sarang Church. It was great for Daryl and David to see the passion that key Korean Christian leaders have for biblical generosity. I believe this will be the first of many trips there together, all for God’s glory and the renewal of God’s church in Korea.
