8. VANCOUVER YOUNGHWA CHURCH: REACHING OUT TO KOREANS. Our gifts to Presbyterians Sharing support Vancouver’s Younghwa Presbyterian Church as it ministers to Koreans and international students in North and West Vancouver. This ministry reaches out to Korean immigrants, equips youth to navigate within a consumerist society and teaches young children what it means to be Korean. Language classes are held for children who have difficulties writing and speaking Korean, improving communication between children and parents. Worship is seen as the most important focus of the church and services are held several times a week. The Rev. Ki Tae Lee writes, “We are truly experiencing the Holy Spirit in this church.” Let us pray for Younghwa as it equips adults, youth and children with the knowledge and skills necessary to live as spiritual people in a secular world.

"The saints" has chosen to contribute 14% of its expected expenditures for 2011 for a total of $21,187.00. This figure represents 100% of the requested allocation from Presbyterian Budget. We are one of only three congregations within our Presbytery to do so. We are also on track with fulfilling our commitment Bravo Zulu to "the saints".
