    Bad leader, pastor doesn't fully know, what do you do?

    Hello, I want to explain my situation. My wife and I, like almost everything, diverge on what to do in this situation. But I figured I'd ask and see what consensus I get. We have been serving in China for 16 months. We went under a church in Korea that is organized as a cell group...

    Peace

    I had a dream last night that, once again, I was back in Korea. I was back in the church I was serving at last year. One of the NK women that was at this church was in this dream, and so was one of my students in China. This kid is the worst student in the school, violent, wild, won't study...

    My uncle is dying.

    He's been in ICU for a month with pneumonia and a stomach virus compounded by a lung condition brought on by his work. They called in my cousins, whom have power of attorney over him, to talk end of life. He's not a Christian now AFAIK. He walked out on his family 17 years ago, is a...

    Recurring dreams in sets of threes?

    Is there any significance to this? This is happening frequently. I'll the same dream, or a dream with the same theme, three times on three consecutive nights, then won't have those dreams for a week or so, then have them again, then won't. Last night it happened in one night. I'd have...

    Mugged in my home area

    I had a dream that I was walking down a street in a neighboring town to my hometown. In this dream, I believe I was living there. The area was really dark, very unlit. There were people loitering on the side of the street, I couldn't recognize faces. Occasionally there would be flashes from...

    URGENT: Mom has MRSA, doctors won't treat her.

    My mom has had MRSA for several weeks. She hasn't told me until now, saying she didn't want to worry me while I'm in China. My mom has been out of work since last May. She hurt her shoulder at work, and her workplace let her go to cover their tracks on an unsafe work environment. My...

    My wife's dream about me

    Last night my wife had a dream about me, and it's rare that she has a dream she remembers at all, let alone one to talk about. Her dream, she said, was like a children's movie, and I was being chased by the antagonist of the movie, and I was chased twice in the dream and forced to run each time.

    Supporting a N. Korean restaurant?

    My wife and I live in China. I've done some work in South Korea among North Korean refugees and heard their stories about life inside the regime. We have visited an observatory near the DMZ for a passive look at life in North Korea. Both of us would, ideally, like to go inside the country...

    Needing God to pour out over our finances

    My wife and I both work, but the money situation is bad right now. It's not that we're hurting or starving or anything but we do have a problem with money that is causing stress. I have to go back to the US in July for my collegiate graduation, to get my degree. Money was already so tight...

    Taoist altar

    I had a dream where I walked into my wife's bedroom in Korea (we're both in China now), and in her room was a Taoist altar, where incense was lit and my wife was meditating. Now, my wife is a strong Christian, so this isn't necessarily that would happen. But that dream actually shook me out...

    Two gorillas hitting each other

    I don't remember much about the dream, save for two gorillas hitting each other, then I found myself back at home. (Home being back in America) This has stuck with me throughout the week, happened Sunday night.

    Why do I feel guilty after sex?

    It seems like, unfailing, after sex, I always feel guilty for the act. I don't understand why I would feel these feelings. I know full well that sex is supposed to be shared in a marriage, and is a fundamental part of a healthy marriage, and I was excited about it when we got married. But...

    To the fellow men: PMS

    How do you survive it? I know it's not pleasant for either party, but I've tried what I can think of, but my wife and I always have a meltdown equivocal to Chernobyl this time of the month.

    URGENT: Needing financial blessing to go get a travel visa.

    I had mentioned before that my wife and I were going to do mission work in China. We were given paperwork for our visas in China, and told by the woman we were going to be working under that it was sufficient, to get to the airport in Korea and be turned away by our airline saying it wasn't...

    New Mission Opportunity, Feeling a Bit Overwhelmed

    A few months ago, I posted about going to South Korea for missions. I was only supposed to be in the country from May 31st to July 1st, but God opened the door for me to stay until August 1st. I'm still leaving for the US on the 1st, however... Things have changed completely. My fiance...

    Things can't always go to plan. (Amazing story)

    I proposed to my fiance in November. When she said yes, we envisioned waiting until 2012 to get married. We were in a long distance relationship (the very definition of one: I lived in America, she in Korea). I had one year of college left. I figured, I would finish school, get a job...

    Coming under attack.

    I'm leaving for Seoul in 12 days to do mission work. God just provided every dime I need for this trip this weekend. Apparently, Satan isn't happy. Sunday night, I had a bad dream, where my fiance walked out on me and was marrying someone else without telling me it was over. Tuesday...

    A financial snag.

    I have been raising funds for an upcoming mission trip overseas. Things were going great all last week. Today, I started filing my taxes. Hadn't paid attention to my W-2 forms, and then I realized, on filing, that my employer misfiled my taxes. They didn't take out anything federally and...
