Shalom,
I might say that I'm a Korean-American CR pastor.
I have only one pretty wife with three great children (2 early 20's and 1 teenager girl).
I started His church for new young unbeliever's families about 10 years ago in L.A. areas,
ministered with other ethnic churches as multiethnic congregations, and expandng His Kingdom with Team ministries for Intergenerational church.

We had a great time of their sharing from attending, they restored, challenged and decided their lives to the llOrd, and we all cried and thanked to God when we heard their testimonies, and also we pray for all participant's lives as well as the leaders of Gkym.
Praise the Lord's workings!

I truly thank agin to George to think/raise this important issue for our denominational direction at this time.
Personally I want to comment 2 things in relation to this matter which I feel very crucial
The first one is that all the synodical decisions is cleraly understood to ethnic-minority leaders/churches?
Do they follow or understand them in thier local settings and thier ministries too, even we all in same boat-CRCNA?
We have to make sure all together what is happened and decided in every synod for our cores/identity.
How do we know this, we all have to struggle and find out best solution for ethnic-minoritiy leaders/chueches, especially Hispanic, Korean, even Navajos and other races too.
That is why I suggest that some crucial synodical decisions should be translated into their languages-i.e., FOS, Creation and Science, Homosexuality, Confessions, and even ED letters. Because still most of ethnic-minority leaders/churches is first generational speaking people in our CRCNA. We should continue to share our cores into their best understanding throughout continuing educations(we thank this followed through Credential Co. Report).
As we all know that God's diverse and unified family is our CRCNA true blessings and strengths, which is given and worked out by His Spirit now among us. Let's follow it in our best together.
