Every other Tuesday morning, a group of local women meets at the public library to attend an English book club. The women, aged from 40s-70s, were once dubbed the “Bibimbap Book Club” after a local dish that is composed of a variety of veggies and meat or egg over rice because, like this colorful dish, they represent a variety of ages and bring their own varied personal stories to the group. This group is somewhat unique in South Korea, where people struggle to build relationships across generations and the meaning of the Korean word for “friend” is often applied specifically to those born in the same year. These seven women have crossed typical cultural boundaries by not only building community across generations, but also by sharing deep emotions and life stories with each other thanks to discussions around the novel they’re reading together. Please pray for this special group, asking that they will ask spiritual questions in the process of their conversations about life and that they will discover the truth and joy of Jesus together.
