Looking back the time past, I confess that everything was done by the loving hand of God. I was given lots of graces from heavenly Father and Mother who manage the world. Among the graces, I would like to share with my loving brothers and sisters of Zion what I realized, establishing the Church.

While preaching the gospel in Argentina, I desired to preach the good news of God in Chile as well. So I prayed and tried hard to be granted to enter Chile.

Koreans in South America say that it is more difficult to have a visa for Chile than for the U.S.A. Actually, if one wants to enter Chile, he has to present an invitation from a Chilean to Embassy of the Republic of Chile, then he can have a one-month visa. In my case, it was even more difficult to have a visa for I didn't know anyone in Chile.

One day, I heard a glad and surprising news. Chile would grant a visa to the Koreans unconditionally for the FTA (Free Trade Agreement) between the two countries. Chile finally got an opportunity to hear the gospel through the FTA between Korea and Chile.

I gave great thanks to heavenly Father and Mother for managing the whole world for the gospel and for choosing me though being foolish and full of faults. Giving thanks to God, my wife and I left for Chile.

We rented a small room as soon as arriving in Chile. Though it was small, we were satisfied with it. We prepared everything to worship God and preached the gospel of the new covenant right away. And we could find our brothers and sisters longing for the truth of God.

The room was small, that it was fully filled at the worship time even though there weren't many members. So I tried to seek a church building, asking God for blessing.

I looked out for a church building, reading advertisements in daily newspaper and in notice boards. For I was in hurry, I decided to rent a building near the house where I was living in though it was not quite to my liking.

Then, a husband of a sister came to Zion hurriedly and told me that a big building beside his house was being leased. We went right away to that building.

It was a place God had prepared. It was located near the street, and the construction was excellent as a church building. I didn't like the building I had chosen before because it did not have a good construction and was located too far away from the street. But this building was a place God Himself prepared.

We all gave thanks to the Almighty God for foreseeing the future and leading us for the gospel.

Chile Church was soon filled with the brothers and sisters by the love of God who always blesses His children. We asked again for allowing us a bigger place for the Church. However, I couldn't do anything by myself without the help from Father and Mother.

Time was going, but it was not easy to find a good place for the Church. Some places were big enough but not suitable for the Church, and some places had a good construction but the locations were not good. We couldn't find a place satisfying all conditions. Finally I realized that I wasn't depending on God completely and began to ask for the grace of heavenly Father and Mother.

On the day when heavenly Mother gave me a word, "Everything is possible with faith," 2 hours later since Mother gave the word, we found a place that we had been looking for such earnestly. It was located where it is easily accessible, and even more, the inside construction was built for a church building. The owner said that this building had just been repaired. There was no place more proper than this.

In addition, God led a brother to Zion who is an architect, so I could proceed interior finishes with his help. It was only two of us, but we could do it within a month. Everything was done fast without a single mistake.

The brother also said that it was possible for God helped us, and he gave glory to God. While finishing the temple, we truly realized the great love and sacrifice of God.

Now, Chile Church is perfect as a church building. In it, our brothers and sisters have been reborn as the children of heaven and are giving thanks and praises to the Almighty God, devoting themselves to the fellowship in love.

Now, the only thing remaining is that the children of God, longing for eternity, come to this Zion, established by the love and sacrifice of God.

Chile Zion was built by the hand of God who is managing the whole world invisibly for the gospel and our salvation. I believe that our heavenly brothers and sisters God has chosen here will be led quickly by His mighty hand as well.
