MCCC key students performing at UBean
KCCC LA Mission team playing
Perhaps the most important part of any short-term or long-term mission trip is getting to know the people of the country at a very intimate level before sharing the Gospel with them. The KCCC Mongolia mission team also put a heavy emphasis on fellowship with their Mongolian students who showed up to their English class.
After two hours of teaching English, or at least having conversations with them to help improve their language efficiency, the student missionaries along with the Campus Life key students and staff would take the students to places such as movie theaters, cafes and even to the playground to play sports such as soccer, basketball and hockey.
During the second week of their mission trip, the KCCC LA team and the MCCC team hosted a "Café Night" and a local coffee shop called U-Bean, where the students and staff had prepared small performances for their students. They even had a time for open-mic for the students themselves to show off their talents.
Despite the language barrier, the local college students and Korean-American student missionaries tried their best to make conversations with each other. The members of the Mongolia mission team made great efforts to get to know the students much more deeply by asking them about their families, friends, aspirations in life and their past experiences.
Even though at times the English classes seemed very unprofessional and unorganized, many of the Mongolian students still showed up to make friends with them. One team member shared how blessed she felt as she saw so many students come out to English class and fellowship so regularly. She also shared how it was God who had already prepared the souls they would be sharing the Good News with.
As the team got closer with the Mongolian students, they started praying harder for the Lord to prepare their hearts and for the relationships to continue even after the mission trip is over.
