Yale Kim and the Community House

We met up with Yale Kim Friday night November 6. He invited us to an absolutely amazing Korean BBQ Buffet. It was one of the greatest restaurants I've ever been to in my life.

He told us all about his life and all that God doing through him and we told him all about our lives and all that God is doing through us. It was so, so exciting.

He is Korean and he is from a very business-oriented family. He is a realtor and a worship leader. He is also a Southern Baptist who is totally on fire for God. This week he is acutually leading worship at the Southern Baptist Convention Conference for California. He wants to start a school of worship where they recruit worship leaders from youth groups across America who are mainly from Evangelical churches. He wants to train them in worhsip and teach them how to dwell in the presence of God, worship God with all their heart, and be madly in love with Jesus. Then he wants them to go back to their youth groups and usher in the presence of God into their youth groups and churches.

When we told him about Global Gospel Movement he got super excited and told us he wanted us to hook up with his friend Jeff who used to be in Todd Bentley's ministry.

And when he found out that Brooke was going to go to Biola he got really excited. He told us that he owns a townhouse one mile away from Biola. The house has 3 bedrooms, two and a half baths, is two stories, a living room, a den, large kitchen, dining room, storage space, walk-in closet, backyard with a patio, washer and dryer, and a two car garage. Sound pretty sweet right? It is. We actually have already seen the place and it's perfect.
He told us that he doesn't live there and right now he has three guys living there paying him rent, but all of them are moving out at the end of the year. He said he's been praying for God to bring radical, on-fire people to rent it out because his heart is for the house to become a house of prayer and a place from which people reach out to the community doing ministry.

We immediately felt like that might possibly be the place where God wants us to live. That night we saw some more puzzle pieces coming together. We had been feeling very strongly from the Lord that eventually Andy and Serge would come down and live here with us and help us start Global Gospel Movement and also go forward in what God has called them to do, but since we never got that big house in Altadena we didn't see how it could ever happen. But now we saw that Andy and Serge could come and rent rooms here and we could all live together and our dream could come true. I told Andy and Serge about it and they both were ecstatic with joy. They totally felt the peace of God about it, but will continue to pray and ask God for confirmations that it's really from Him. Serge even said that when I told him he felt the fire of the Holy Spirit rise up inside of him. So we are still not totally sure about the community house. We are still praying about it, but let's just say we're 99.9% sure.
Then just a few days ago something awesome happened. When we saw all of this coming together Brooke got so excited she said, "This is like a dream come true. That we could live together with Andy and Serge." And I said, "Yeah totally. You know what would be awesome too? If Alex could come and live with us too."
So three days ago Alex called me and we talked. He told me that he was going on a mission trip to Mexico to work with an orphanage for a month, but when he came back he had no idea where he was going to live and what he was going to do with his life. He was really frustrated with his life because he wanted to do full time ministry, but saw no way to do it. So I told him about the community house and he was really excited about it too. He said he would pray about it.
So imagine one house with Joshua, Brooke, Andy, Serge, and Alex all under the same roof working for the Kingdom. What a powerhouse!!!!!!!WOOO-HOOO!!!!!
