Working as a youth pastor in the Army’s Korean Community Church in Toronto, I was encouraged by godly people to consider how I could more fully be God’s true servant. The longer I served in The Salvation Army, the more I realized that God’s work was not limited to my corps, but he is working everywhere. As his committed follower, I am to continue what Jesus started in my life. I know that he calls me not only to come to him, but to go for him. After completing God’s assignment for my life, the words that I want to hear from him are: “Well done, good and faithful servant! … Come and share your master’s happiness” (Matthew 25:21). Aejin Karen Kim Toronto Korean Community Church, Ontario Central-East Division I accepted Jesus Christ as my Saviour at the age of 13. Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying, “But now, this is what the Lord says—he who created you, Jacob, he who formed you, Israel: ‘Do not fear, for I have redeemed you; I have summoned you by name; you are mine’ ” (Isaiah 43:1). He called me as a servant of Jesus to serve the people he loves. I have been a children’s pastor since 1996, and since settling in Toronto in 2010, I have had wonderful opportunities to learn about The Salvation Army. I became interested in officership and wholeheartedly want to live out the Army’s mission. God has brought me to The Salvation Army to fulfill my desire to help others, to reach out to those who are brokenhearted and lead them to Christ.
