“I stand at the ends of the earth with the burning heart of the Lord!”
A Thousand Hearts: Missionary Lee Si-on's Frontline Missionary Diary

It was uncomfortable at the time, but as time goes by, you come to a point where you feel it was better, and you miss those times and wish that time would pass quickly.
But then, and now, this time is not something I created, but is ‘God’s time’ given to me.
I believe that if you know that, it will be a precious time, both then and now.

Our war is ongoing.
We fight until we come before the Lord. Our very lives, which must become the gospel to those who reject it, are a war.
If we fear the war of faith, we will become prisoners of war.
You fight to win, but when you fight to die, you truly win.
It is a war fought to the death.

They had different minds.
Holiness was considered as life.
He was pleased to offer his body as a living sacrifice to the Lord.
I trained myself to always stay before the Lord, fearing that my heart would become polluted and stained.
I kept my heart only before God.
For that, I even chose death.
Love does not fear death.
A love that conquers death, I want to love like that too.

--- p.36~37

I hear the empty cries of souls bowing down to a dead god. Father, remember when you created this earth and saw that it was good.
Please remember this land and let its beauty overflow again.
I look forward to the day when this nation will sing to the Lord.
I await the day when I will kneel before the word of salvation of the Lord.

Even if the path we walk is sometimes dry and barren, if it is a path we must walk, it is the best and most valuable path in the world.
Many people who met Jesus did not refuse this path.
Sometimes we walked alone, sometimes we walked together, and even when we fell, we got up and kept walking.
On the road, he encountered robbers, wild animals, typhoons, and sandstorms, but he did not stop walking.

This love is a love that we humans do not have.
It cannot be expressed in human words.
It is too deep to be fathomed, too wide to be approached, and too high to be looked at.
People live losing this love.
Love is the answer, but we live our lives forgetting that answer.
Humans cannot imitate even the smallest form of love.
So Jesus shows us himself.
That love that people cannot handle.

May all who believe in the Lord on this earth become the "first church." A church that loves its own people to the end, a church that spreads the gospel to the ends of the earth for one person, a church that walks through parched land without growing weary, a church whose earnest cry never ceases, a church that does not fear death, a church that proclaims the life of resurrection, a church that loves only Jesus, a church that endures martyrdom.
And the church that meets the Lord at the ends of the earth.
Jesus, you are the eternal God.

--- p.184~185

Our dream is to see all nations sing to God.
We dream.
I have a dream that people who do not know where or how they lived will gather together and sing to the Lord.
We are the people who have been given to fulfill this dream of God.

--- p.219

Those who live in our house consider it a joy and honor to spread the gospel.
He is not afraid to leave for the sake of the gospel and is the first to move forward in testifying to the gospel.
I love to stay before the Word to know the Gospel, and I struggle every day to live by the Word, considering it as life itself.
Our family only loves Jesus.
I wish there were more houses like this in this land.

--- p.223

I want to meet the Lord.
I want to go quickly to where the Lord is.
There is not a single iota of regret or expectation in this land.
I just want to see my loved ones from all over the world who don't know me.
How wonderful it would be if I could meet them, live with them, and be taken from their land! How wonderful it would be if I could exchange my life for the life of Jesus, who gives it to them! How wonderful it would be if the One who gave me life were to give that life to those I love!
