Ministry Description

The mission of WOLBI Jeju and also my desire, is to help students to truly know who Christ is and have a deeper understanding of the gospel so that they can be equipped to go all throughout the most unreached part of the globe. In my role as the Dean of women, I will be able to invest in their training and multiply myself through them as they follow God’s leading in their life. It has been a blessing to already see how God has given me a taste of what that is like as I minister to the Asian students here at the Bible Institute in NY. Most of them desire to eventually return to their home countries to continue their ministry. Some of them desire to further their education to be equipped with the practical skills that they need to do their ministry. It’s been encouraging as well to see how the girls in my discipleship group have grown to not only love the gospel but see the value of Biblical counselling. I am excited to see how God will use this to draw more people to Himself through them.

About Berny

On March 11 2011 was when I made the decision to accept Jesus Christ as my personal saviour. I did not grow up in a Christian home, however I did grow up in a home that believed in the existence of God and Jesus Christ. As I was growing up, everything that I knew about Christ such as Christmas or the cross, those were all just stories to me. What led me to accept the Lord as my personal Saviour was because I was hungry for love. For a very long time I felt as if no one cared about me so I decided that I did not want to care about anything either, but it was through the verse John 3:16 that I realised that although this world will not accept who I am, I have a heavenly father that loved me so much that He sent his only Son down to be despised and rejected by men and he was then beaten to the point where you could not even recognise who he was eventually was nailed to a cross for my sins so that by grace through faith I would be saved and given eternal life. The realisation that there was someone out there who loved me, more than anyone else in this world revealed that the only one who could satisfy this heart of mine is Jesus Christ. In 2012, My father was diagnosed with stage for brain cancer, at this time of my life I had no idea what was going on, I was confused. My life went downhill I experienced depression which led me to self harming. I was walking away from God and I felt so lost and confused. However, in 2013, I was reminded of the verse, Proverbs 3:5-6 which says, "Trust in the Lord with all your heart, lean not on your own understanding, but in all your ways acknowledge Him and he will make straight your paths." I had realised that I was not trusting God at all with everything that was happening in my life and in my family, that year at a Word of Life camp, I rededicated my life at a campfire service and I decided to throw my stick in and commit myself to serve the Lord full time.

2 Corinthians 12:9: But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me.
