Marty Machowski In South Korea
From Marty Machowski, Author & Pastor in Covenant Fellowship Church, PA:
I had the privilege to spend two weeks in South Korea in early February. Thank you to everyone who prayed for me. The trip was timed to coincide with the release of two of my books, translated into Korean for the annual Home School Support Center homeschooling conference.
I gave 5 messages at the conference and then spent a week touring South Korea, speaking at a new church each day. My visit culminated with speaking two messages at Lord's Grace Church (our Sovereign Grace Church in South Korea). It was so wonderful to spend time with Songhwan Kang and his wife Miran. The following day I got a chance to speak two sessions to a group of church planters that Songhwan has been helping.
There has been a push in South Korea to promote transgender ideology in schools. As a result, the Korean translation of my book God Made Boys and Girls which was released in November has sold more than 5,000 copies in a few months. People were purchasing multiple copies to give to friends and family. One woman bought 100 copies and another 25 while I was there. Folks were deeply touched as I shared my own struggles in parenting and helped envision parents with the gospel for both their marriages, parenting, and homeschooling.
