2025년 선교보고서(2025 Mexico Mission Trip Daily Report)

Abre mis ojos (Open my eyes)

멕시칼리.. 어느덧 선교의 다섯째 날이라는 사실이 다만 아쉽고, 순간순간이 더욱 소중한 하루였습니다.  

오늘은 VBS사역을 마무리 하며, 감사하게도 먼저 마무리 된 페인팅 사역으로, 컨디션이 안좋았던 아이들이 많았던 상황에서 잠시나마 여유로운 단비같은 휴식도 취할수 있었습니다.

그 시간동안 신학교 건물을 청소하며, 제 정비 하며 하나님께서 허락하신 많은 은혜들을 다시한번 생각해보는 시간들을 가질수 있었습니다. 

또한 휴식동안 새누리 아이들과 신학교 근처에 살고 있는 지역 아이들이 놀러와서 함께 축구를 즐기며 언어를 뛰어 넘는 형제안에 아름다운 교제를 나누는 시간도 가질수 있었습니다. 

오늘은 마지막 VBS의 시간들도 나누며, 또한 멕시코 선교팀들의 형제,자매, 그리고 아이들의 간증의 순간들도 나누려고 합니다. Stay tuned! 

Mexicali... Already the fifth day of our mission trip—it's hard to believe.
The realization that our time here is coming to an end brings a sense of sadness, making each moment we have left feel even more precious and meaningful.

Today, we wrapped up our VBS ministry.
Thankfully, since the painting project was completed earlier than expected, many of our team members—especially those who were feeling physically unwell—were able to experience a refreshing moment of rest, like rain in the desert.

During this quiet break, we took the opportunity to clean and organize the seminary building, and in doing so, reflect once again on the countless blessings God has poured out over us throughout this mission.

In addition, during our rest time, several local children from the neighborhood near the seminary came to visit.
Our Saenuri kids were able to spend time playing soccer with them, enjoying joyful fellowship that transcended language barriers and reminded us again of the beauty of being one family in Christ.

Later today, we will also be sharing reflections from the final day of VBS, along with powerful testimonies from our brothers, sisters, and even children who are part of this mission team.
Stay tuned—there is much grace still unfolding!

VBS 사역 - 마지막 날

A팀

아무것도 없는 황량한 동네에, 주님의 성전이 있다는 것이 이 황량한 곳에 생명의 샘이 있는 듯 보였습니다. VBS의 시작은 언제나 기도와 함께! 주님이 일하기시를 기도합니다. 

VBS Ministry – Final Day

Team A
In a barren, desolate neighborhood where there seems to be nothing, the presence of the Lord’s church stood out like a spring of life in the desert.
It reminded us that even in the driest places, God plants His sanctuary of hope.

As always, the start of VBS began with prayer—because we know that it is not by our strength, but by His Spirit that hearts are moved.
We prayed earnestly that the Lord would go before us and work powerfully among the children and families we would meet.

언제나 VBS의 시작은 기도로 주님께 온전히 의지합니다. 

As always, we begin VBS with prayer, fully relying on the Lord.

A 교회에서는 특별한 순간이 또한 이루어졌습니다. 어제 패밀리 나잇에서 특별찬양으로 드렸던 Abre mis ojos (Open my eyes) 를 주님이 즉흥적으로 찬양하라는 마음을 주셨고, A 교회에서 있는 목회자 자녀 2명의 드럼과 보컬, Jessie의 드럼연주와 함께 전 VBS에 참여한 모든 사람들이 찬양했습니다. 정말 주님께서 언어나 문화를 뛰어넘어 하나의 마음으로 하나의 목소리로 모아주는 너무나도 소중한 순간이였습니다.

A very special moment also took place at Church A.
During the VBS program, the Lord impressed upon our hearts—spontaneously and powerfully—to sing “Abre mis ojos” (Open My Eyes) once more, a song we had offered as a special praise during Family Night.

Two pastor’s children from the local church joined in, one playing drums and the other singing, and Jessie from our team also accompanied on the drums.
Together, everyone who participated in VBS lifted their voices in worship.

It was a deeply moving moment—a glimpse of heaven—as the Lord brought together hearts and voices beyond language and culture, uniting us as one in praise.

From Sean (Our NCBC Youth) 

“Hello! Today is Thursday, and we had our last day of VBS. For me, and the others in Church A, I believe we had a successful last day. What defines a successful VBS? It’s not how fun the crafts and games were, or how entertaining the skit and praise were. I think, at its core, it’s obedience to the Lord. I’m so amazed at how God worked with the kids despite our last-minute prep and our broken Spanish. I got closer to so many kids and, for the first time in any mission trip I’ve been on, I was so sad to say adiós.

Moreover, a lot of kids recovered from sickness, which is amazing, but there are still some students not feeling quite right. Yet, how blessed we are to be here today. Missionary Lim shared his testimony today, and one thing he said that stood out to me was, “I am willing to do anything, even eat rats, if it means for the gospel.” I will spend every bit of my energy for this mission, no matter how tired I am, because all the glory must and will go to God.”

NCBC Youth Sean’s update

안녕하세요! 오늘은 목요일이고, 우리는 VBS(어린이 성경학교) 마지막 날을 보냈습니다. 저와 Church A의 다른 팀원들에게 오늘은 정말 성공적인 마지막 날이었다고 생각합니다. 성공적인 VBS란 무엇일까요? 공예나 게임이 얼마나 재미있었는지, 연극과 찬양이 얼마나 흥미로웠는지가 아니라, 그 본질은 주님께 순종하는 것이라고 생각합니다.

우리의 급한 준비와 서툰 스페인어에도 불구하고 하나님께서 아이들과 함께 일하시는 모습을 보고 정말 놀랐습니다. 많은 아이들과 더 가까워졌고, 제가 다녀온 어떤 선교 여행보다 이번에는 아이들과 작별 인사를 하면서 정말 슬펐습니다.

또한, 많은 아이들이 아팠다가 회복된 것이 정말 놀라웠지만, 아직도 몸이 완전히 회복되지 않은 학생들도 있습니다. 그럼에도 불구하고 우리가 오늘 이 자리에 있을 수 있음에 얼마나 감사한지 모릅니다. 오늘 선교사님(임 선교사님)이 자신의 간증을 나눠주셨는데, 그 중에서도 “복음을 위해서라면 쥐라도 먹을 수 있다”고 하신 말씀이 인상 깊었습니다. 저는 이 선교를 위해 제 모든 에너지를 쏟을 것이고, 아무리 피곤해도 모든 영광은 반드시 하나님께 돌려질 것입니다.”

은혜와 눈물의 마무리 B 교회

A Grace-Filled and Tearful Ending – Church B

미정자매님 ft.

“Church B 에서도 복음 선포는 계속됐다. 한 형제님께서 vbs 동안 앉아계시던 자매님들, 고등학생부터 할머니까지 한명 한명 복음을 함께 나누고, 믿음의 고백을 확인하고, 기도제목을 받고, 팀원들이 간절히 함께 기도해주었다. 끝나기 20분 전, 시간이 얼마 안남았지만 그래도, 마지막 남은 어린 아들을 데리고 있는 Belia 자매님과 복음을 나눌때, 이미 믿음이 있으신 자매님임에도 눈물을 흘리시며 복음을 받으셨다. 폴 목사님의 번역을 통해 자세한 기도제목을 받으니 5세 정도 된 큰아들의 틱장애와, 안믿는 남편 위해 기도 부탁을 하셨다. 어려운 일상 가운데, 하나님 온전히 붙들고 예수님의 능력으로 승리하는 삶을 살아가시길, 마음에 성령님의 위로가 임하시길 함께 간절히 기도했다. 그 이후 헤어지는 시간까지 우리 팀원들과 눈만 마주치면 눈물을 글썽글썽하시던 Belia 자매님, 하나님의 따뜻한 사랑과 위로가 조금이라도 전해지길 바라며 꼭 안아드렸다.”

Sister Mijung’s Reflection – Church B

The proclamation of the gospel continued at Church B.
One of our brothers took the time to sit with each of the women—ranging from high school students to grandmothers—who had been attending the VBS program.
He shared the gospel with them one by one, confirmed their confessions of faith, asked for their prayer requests, and our team members joined in to pray fervently with them.

Just 20 minutes before we had to leave, there was still one more person we felt led to speak with—Sister Belia, who was sitting with her young son.
Even though she was already a believer, when we shared the gospel with her again, she listened with tears in her eyes, receiving the message deeply.

Through Pastor Paul’s interpretation, we learned more about her specific prayer needs:
her older son, around five years old, is struggling with a tic disorder, and her husband is not yet a believer.
We prayed together with urgency and compassion, asking that she would cling to the Lord through the hardships of everyday life, and that she would live a victorious life through the power of Jesus.
We also prayed that the comfort of the Holy Spirit would rest on her heart.

From that moment until the time we said goodbye, every time Sister Belia made eye contact with one of our team members, her eyes would fill with tears.
We embraced her tightly, hoping that even just a small portion of God’s warm love and comfort had been passed on to her through us.

백진영 자매님 ft.

“영어를 잘하는 릴리아나는 19살때 미국에서 8개월 살았다고 했고 다른교회에서 섬기는데 딸의 classmate이 여기 VBS 얘기해서 왔다고 했다. 아들이 보통아이들과 다른 어려움을 갖고있어서 그것과 관련 어려움을 나누었고 크리스챤이라도 힘든길을 걸어나가지만 어떻게 극복하는지 서로 나누었고 중보했다. 믿지않는 사람들을 위한 전도로 준비했던 어른들 복음의 전함팀(gospel battleship) 생각했지만 이번 미션은 현지 부모님들과의 소통을 통해 믿는자들가운데서도 현지 성도들을 격려하고 그들의 아픔과 슬픔을 나누며 주안에서 바로 서는것에 대해서도 길을 열어주셨다.”

Sister Jinyoung Baek ft.

"Liliana, who speaks English well, shared that she had lived in the U.S. for eight months when she was 19. Though she usually serves at another church, she came to our VBS because her daughter’s classmate had told her about it.

She opened up about some of the challenges she faces with her son, who has special needs, and we were able to share deeply about those struggles.
Even as Christians, the road we walk is not always easy.
But we encouraged one another by sharing how we overcome difficulties with faith, and we spent time in intercessory prayer together.

At first, I had thought of our 'Gospel Battleship' adult evangelism team as primarily reaching out to unbelievers.
But through this mission, God opened another door—one where we could communicate with local parents who are already believers.
Through those moments of sharing their pain, sorrow, and life stories, the Lord used us to encourage fellow local Christians and to stand firm together in Christ."
