Now I am ready to visit you for the third time, and I will not be a burden to you, because what I want is not your possessions but you. 2 Corinthians 12:14a

“What Paul is saying is that he does not want the things that belong to the people in Corinth, but he wants them…I am coming to help you; I am not trying to get your money.”

Roger Omanson and John Ellington in A Translators Handbook on Paul’s Second Letter to the Corinthians (New York: UBS, 1993) 266.

This is the verse the Lord has led me to in anticipation of my third trip to South Korea. The focus of the trip from July 26-August 7 is to serve Korean churches and leaders by preaching and teaching on biblical stewardship and Christian generosity. Please pray for me and my family as they join me. Thank you.
