HIM India Trip

 

5 friends from HIM visited India for 2 weeks this August. We visited projects run by Christian friends in various places in the North. The aim of the trip was to encourage one another and raise awareness of the wonderful work being done by our Indian family in Christ.

Summer retreat review

Last weekend the HIM group held its annual summer retreat. Once again it was a Friday-Saturday event. This year we went to Jinhae, staying at a local church there, next to the STX shipyards. 

After settling in on Friday afternoon some people took a walk to a nearby island at low tide, played Danny’s trivia contest in teams, and went on a scavenger hunt.  Dominic also led the group in focusing on the word "retreat" – looking back over the last year at our challenges and blessings. At dinnertime the second wave of people arrived. We had another short praise & devotions session, and Kyunga passed around some small group discussion questions.  Some people went out again for some fresh air, and others went to "bed" (or shall we say "floor"?). 

On Saturday we took a short ferry ride to an island beach getaway. Many had fun swimming, playing soccer with umbrellas, and enjoying a nice barbecue lunch. We finally packed up and returned to Busan and enjoyed pizza for dinner. 

It was a successful and enjoyable trip. There was no rain, illness, or serious injuries. Best of all, we could enjoy a meaningful time of fellowship together in the Lord.
