- waynepark: Apparently this was the heaviest week of the entire semester (2). I'm not doubting it.
- waynepark: Can't wait to go home and see my family; Vancouver's great but Bellingham's home
- waynepark: Oh hurry up Friday; I long for you like the desert longs for rain
- waynepark: As usual Hebrew vowels are nasty. Dinner, then evening lecture @regentcollege to hear @iamfujimura then crashing @prayingdog s place.
- waynepark: @sethskim what bring you to Seattle other than the unbeatable summers? :)

Good to meet you too minna! – Ash will be emailing you soon.. and see you at an upcoming service!
Dear Wayne and Ashley,
I am interested in knowing more about your church and your needs.
Please find a time we can meet, talk, pray for even just 40 minutes. God is giving me a new paradigm in ministry, as I have been pryaing for about 3 years for some new ideas. It would be awesome if God is giving us a similar vision so we could work together.
Praising God for HIS GREAT PLAN.
In Jesus,

I will be visiting in Bellingham from April 13-May 3 and am looking for a place that celebrates deep worship & the gifts and preaches the kingdom. Can you help? Thanks. Helen
It was great seeing you both this past weekend in sharing the celebration for Kim and Adam’s marriage. I can’t tell you how refreshing it is to see you both after all this time especially now that I feel I am confident in my relationship with Christ. Congratulations on your pregnancy and may the Lord be with you both during the coming months! We are praying for a safe and healthy pregnancy followed by many, many years of joy with your new little one!
Blessings,
Matt and Meme
Matt and Meme: it was a true pleasure to spend time w/you guys this past weekend.. I will say more via email. Hope to keep in touch with you two…
Yo, Wayne!
Hey, I’m home for the rest of the summer. I’ll be heading to Ohio to visit my grandma on the 22nd and then head up to New York for 5 days. Hope everything is going well, I’ll see you in a month or so. At work, so I just wanted to send a quick message.
Talk to you soon,
Alex
Wayne,

Josh
Josh.. Josh.. do me a favor – remind me which Josh this is? Sorry for brain fart
Wayne – would you mind dropping me a note when SJ comes home? Would like to send her some flowers…..thanks and congratulations on becoming a daddy!!!!
Hey Wayne,
Thanks for the message at Quest yesterday. I really enjoyed it and I’ve been reflecting on it throughout the day today. Talking to others at dinner after service, I think many of them were also impacted as well. Just thought I’d let you know (in case you already don’t) that the sermon is online though I didn’t see any links on the Quest website yet. But, if you use the same format as other sermon links and just change the date, it works
.

thanks for the reminder that: the glass is half empty.
but that’s a good thing.

Hey wayne, I started a new forum for my website. I come to offer a section of it to you to use for mission:bellingham or anything else of interest to ya. Send me an email if you are interested, i can make you moderator of that section etc… Merry christmas! Check out the Christmas lights pictures we put up http://www.forallmagazine.com/christmaslights.htm – only 1 1/2 hours from where we live. cool place!
Darwin: that’s great – I was going to ask for the MP3 – you beat me to it. I’m thrilled to hear how the message has had a lasting effect on people.. it’s been several years in the making, with lots of bad stuff that got me thinking in this direction. Neways, look forward to seeing you next time at Quest!
Mr. Park
A little off subject but…. Looking for a Jindo here in Bellingham. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Robert
If that’s a jindo (geh) – dog – I can’t help you there. I haven’t seen one of those in these parts for the past 7 years I’ve lived here. Will keep an eye out tho.
I found your church’s website and your blog recently. I am very interested in hearing your sermon on “Calling” tomorrow. Because you are meeting in your home, I didn’t know if it was okay to show up unannounced. Is it okay if I join you for worship tomorrow? A friend of mine may join me as well.
Mr. Wayne Park,
I don’t know you too well, but Eugene Cho was my youth pastor. You knew my brother when he went to Soo Jung. I went to Rutgers with your brother. And now, seeing the link on Pastor Cho’s blog to your own, I presume you attend his church… and I feel like we come full circle. Or something like that.
How curious.
Wayne,
I appreciate your blog. Thanks for speaking to the gentrification of the church. Peace.
hey, wayne. visiting bellingham for a few days, hoping to find a local volleyball contact.
bro!
after all those years… we finally connect once again!
and yes… i’ll be at trinity (deerfield). i’ll be starting this month! crazy huh!
well, lets keep in touch and btw i love your stuff man… good stuff and keep writing!
Hey Waynster. How are you and the family? I heard Hyon O is coming to down in Oct for George Song’s wedding. Realistically, I don’t know if we’ll be able to get together, but I’ll at least let you know. Hope all is well my friend.
Wayne,
It was so delightful to meet you yesterday!
You just radiate joy.
I appreciate your work and all that you put into it with your positive attitude.
Here is your face on faces of Bellingham:

Thank you!

I saw the entry about David Ross. I knew them in YWAM Hawaii. I was with YWAM for 17 years. I am trying to get in touch with them. Do you have an email. If you can’t give it to me, could you forward my email to them?
Thanks.

hey all!
my family and i currently live in chicago, and have attended a multi-ethnic church here since it’s beginnings. we love our church…it’s focus on racial reconciliation and relationship, and it’s mission and vision. http://www.thenewcom.com
we are in the process of praying about moving closer to my husband’s family, in bellingham washington, and would love to attend a church similar to ours in chicago, despite the fact that bellingham as a whole is not so diverse (compared to chicago). does anyone have any thoughts, insights…churches who love and strive for racial diversity because that is what the kingdom of God looks like? i would really appreciate some feedback! thanks so much!
Mara – keep in touch if u guys do end up out here in Bellingham.
While Bellingham’s a far cry from Chicago in terms of diversity – it is still a beautiful, progressive city. As a New Yorker and an ethnic minority, I know what it’s like coming from a big city and it takes some adjustment but still, it’s one of the most beautiful places to live in North America. Our congregation – http://rooseveltcc.org – is one of the more forward-thinking in terms of diversity around here, but there are few others I could refer. Keep in touch!
thanks so much for getting back to me, wayne!
we looked at the website of your church, and it seemed very cool. we would be interested in hearing about some other churches in the area that have similar missions and visions, so if / when the time came for checking out churches around the area, we could have a few to visit.
have a great monday evening!!!
Hello Wayne,
Thanks for speaking tonight! Learning about His Kingdom was an eye opener.
Please take some time to visit my friend, Jamin and Tamara Yorks, pictures on FB.
Here is a link http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=47627&id=1484839668&l=d9b75a3478
Send me your email and I’ll forward you more info.
God bless you and your ministry,
Jeff
Hey Wayne,
Looks like i’ll be visiting family in Vancouver from Feb 8 – 21. Do you want to meet up for coffee and a chat? If you have time, why don’t you email me your phone number? danielsangi@gmail.com
Wayne,
Great to connect in this virtual blogosphere world. I agree — I bet we have overlapping friends and connections. Hopefully we can connect at a covenant event in the future, either annual meeting or next midwinter! In the meantime I look forward to following you via your blog. Blessings!

Wayne, stumbled onto your blog while looking for “a theology of diversity” around the web.
My wife and I are planting a multi-ethnic (not melting pot) church in Wilmington, DE (better known as that place where you send your credit card bills to). We love what we do and God is really good to us. I was wondering if you have touched on this topic / area any further since Aug. 2008 which was the last blog topic that I saw. I’m white (dad’s from brooklyn, mom’s from virginia, ancestors are from Canada / England) and the city is a mix of black, white and latino and I love the instances to help understand that God made them different on purpose. I think this might be a key to figuring out God’s thoughts on diversity.
Shoot me a line and let me know if you’ve reached any further into the topic and what you’ve heard. Thanks.
btw, your blog is hilarious – the Flushing school pics and convo’s were hilarious. bless u and your upcoming graduation! – jb
@justin
Hey Justin – great to connect here… I must confess it took me a while to figure out what “DE” stood for but I got it – and we may or may not be too far from you guys when I’m outta school. Anywayz checked out the site and I like the stuff I see – keep on truckin
As per “theology of diversity” I’m deep into that stuff, I wouldn’t even know where to begin. But I do blog about it often here, if not in those same exact words.
God bless u in your endeavors,
Wayne
