Star King 2012

On Sunday, (20/05/2012) Hosanna Church hosted to our annual talent show featuring members from all the international ministries. The name of the event is Star King. Through the show we were able to fellowship with a lot of our friends from the other ministries.

HIM played a huge role in the event because Mary, who is on our praise team was asked to be a MC for the event. She shared the stage with a member from the Russian ministry.

Each of the international ministries were asked to perform twice. The performance had to be a reflection of our culture and heritage from our mother country. It was was quite evident from the amazing performances that everyone put in a lot of time and effort in preparation for this fun event.

The beautiful ladies from the Vietnamese Ministry

It was difficult to pick one winner because everyone was really good at showing off their talent from their respective countries.  The ladies from the Vietnamese ministry performed a traditional dance which was really beautiful and later on they sang a song in their mother tongue.

Japanese Ministry

Our friends from the Japanese ministry performed and dance and followed that with a song.  It was a real treat to watch the little children participate for the glory of our King.

Mary and Yumi

HIM performed two songs. The first one, "Joyful Joyful", was sung in English by Mary and Yumi. 

Later, the two families from Africa got together for an outstanding.  We were also treated to an African dance from our two brothers.

Our families from Africa

The young people from the Chinese fellowship shared a moving performance on how things of the world can cause us to stray away from God but through the great sacrifice of Jesus we are set free from sin and 

death.

Chinese Ministry

Our afternoon of talent ended with a few Taekwondo stunts from a group of Korean kids.  It was super entertaining . 

Star King 2012 was definitely an highlight in our church calender and we look forward to next year's event.

Our Year-End Worship Service will be this coming Saturday, 31st of December at 11.00pm in our regular service hall at Hosanna Church in Hadan. We want to worship God and share about his love being evident in our lives. Through that we want to enter the new year in God's presence.

New HIM leadership

With the start of the new church year there were some changes in the HIM leadership. Dominic Bothello, who took care of us HIMers from the beginning of 2011, handed over his leadership position to Pastor Dahm Son.

Looking back, we thank Dominic a lot for his willingness to be our pastor and shepherd, when HIM was in a difficult situation without a leader. We are grateful for his welcoming heart, his willingness to lead by humbly serving us, and for the time he took for each one of us. We are more than happy to have him and his family still with us, as he will continue to serve HIM.

We also welcome Deacon Jang and new finance accountant Deaconess Baek, who will replace Deacon Cho and Deaconess Kim.

We wish Pastor Son and the new leadership God's blessing in their service with HIM and lots of wisdom and sensitivity to handle our colorful and diverse international crowd :)

End of HIM church year

As the church year has ended, we have to say goodbye again to Korean staff members, who have served faithfully in HIM during the last year. We are sad to lose them, as they will be serving in different areas of Hosanna Church next year.

Deacon Cho was responsible for HIM from the Korean church side. Deaconess Kim was in charge of our finances.

Pastor Andres also joined us last year. He will be leaving to serve in the Indonesian and Vietnamese services.

We really appreciate their service in HIM and wish them God's blessing and all the best for their future.

Thanksgiving

This coming Sunday, November 20th, we want to celebrate Thanksgiving together. After the service we will have a short Thanksgiving sharing time as well as a Thanksgiving meal together.

All food and drinks will be provided by Hosanna Church, so just come, meet nice people, eat and enjoy :)
