“Giving money is more than practical issue, it is a heart issue. I am going to set a yearlong Bible reading plan with students so they can be in the Word more regularly. I would like to emphasize giving money is not done by law but by love and not by percentage but by proportion…My job is to sow the seed of stewardship truths in their hearts. I understand the importance of being a good example of generosity to my students, so I want to grow more in giving sacrificially with my wife.”
Sung Soo Kim in “Resource Development Plan” dated 8 July 2015 submitted for PT7054: Biblical Stewardship and Christian Generosity class at Torch Trinity Graduate University. To read more insights from my students, check out my recent CLA blogpost: Six Applications from Asia for all Steward Leaders. Over the next 17 days, I will share precious treasures I received from my 17 students in Seoul with you in my daily meditations. The photo is from Korea too. Enjoy!
Sung Soo Kim is a youth pastor (in training) who oversees children’s ministry at his church in Seoul. I have hope for the future of the Korean Church because leaders like Sung Soo desire to teach God’s Word to young people and set an example for them to follow (cf. 1 Corinthians 11:1).
Sung Soo, thanks for teaching us the heart of giving: that our motivation must be love and to measure our giving in proportion to that which we have received!
