Jin and Yumi's wedding...from youth, to college, to law school, to marriage...a special wedding at Gracepoint


This past Saturday, was a special day. Jin and Yumi, leaders of this home group, officially got married. But this was no ordinary wedding at Gracepoint Fellowship Church, this was a special one. As Pastor Ed Kang mentioned in his message during the ceremony, this is the first time two people who've been attending Gracepoint Fellowship Church for youth, college, and post college to get married to each other. But I would like to add one more reason why the wedding was so different from other weddings we have at Gracepoint. Typically, the ratio between family and Gracepoint members is about 50-50. But this wedding, it was like 80-20 or 90-10 or something like that. From what I heard, Yumi's mom invited about 120 family members which included all the aunts, uncles, first counsins, second cousins, etc...It was such a wonderful sight to see just the family get together to celebrate this joyous day. I must say though...my favorite part was the wedding reception. Just watching different groups come up on stage to sing and dance for the newlyweds, nearly brought tears of joy to my eyes.

And of course you can't leave out the Gracepoint classic normalvs video. Here's Jin and Yumi's normal vs video. You can actually check out a couple more on dis-gracepoint.


I don't know Jin or Yumi's past that well, but from what I hear God has truly transformed their lives. I really do thank God for them, their presence in my life, and am really looking forward to colaboring with them to proclaim the good news...the good news of the gospel. With that said, I will now conclude my very first post.
