Update: Juan and Sonja

Another wonderful meal and fellowship for founder Sunny Chae with our brother and sister Juan and Sonja.  We also welcomed another friend, Dorothy, who lives at the Downtown Women’s Center on Skid Row.

형제 자매 Juan과 Sonja와 창립자 인 Sunny Chae의 멋진 식사와 친교를 했습니다. 또한우리는 스키드 로우 (Skid Row)의 다운타운 여성 센터 (Downtown Women 's Center)에 사는 또 다른 친구 도로시 (Dorothy)를 환영했습니다.

To teach Juan and Sonja how to be more independent, we asked Dorothy to teach Juan and Sonja how to get to us  using public transportation.  Even though they got a little lost, they arrived safely and we all felt accomplished that they made it.

Juan과 Sonja에게  우리 집에 오는 방법을 가르치기 위해 Dorothy에게 Juan과 Sonja에게 대중 교통 수단을 사용하는 방법을 가르치도록 요청했습니다. 처음엔 조금 길을 잃어 버렸음에도 불구하고, 그들은 안전하게 도착했고, 우리는 모두 그들이 잘 찾아 왔음에 감사했습니다.

We gave them another opportunity to shower and had a few new items for them since it has been so hot in Southern California. As a surprise, Sunny had prepared some of their favorite food - pork chops for Juan and Green Bean casserole for Sonja!  They were flabbergasted, not only because it was something they really enjoyed but because of the kindness that was shown.  Sunny began to hear more stories about Skid Row and how power is wielded and how drugs and money can be gained on Skid Row. 

우리는 그들에게 남 캘리포니아에서 매우 더웠던 날씨로 그들에게 샤워를 하게 했으며, 그들을 위한약간의 새로운 음식을 준비했습니다. 써니씨는 Juan을위한 특별 돼지 고기 볶음 요리와 Sonja의 Green Bean 캐서롤을 준비했습니다. 그것들은 그들이 정말로 즐긴 것이었기 때문에 뿐만 아니라 친절 함으로 인해 놀랐습니다. 써니는 스키드 로우에 대한 더 많은 이야기와 권력 행사 방법, 그리고 스키드 로우에서 마약과 돈을 어떻게 얻을 수 있는지에 대한 이야기를 듣기 시작했습니다.

Every Tuesday, Sunny and group from across the country in New York and Chicago come together to pray for the nation.  Sunny has been praying for Juan and Sonja since she met them at the beginning of June and this was the first time that they had been invited to join in the prayer group.  It was amazing to be in the presence of God during this time but also seeing how he is working and moving not only in our own lives but in the lives of Juan and Sonja.  Many assume that those who are homeless would just pray for themselves or for money or other worldly things, but Juan and Sonja know that God has something greater for them.  They prayed for others and for peace and grace.

매주 화요일은 뉴욕과 시카고의 전국 각지에서 온 그룹 사람들과 써니가 함께 미국 우리 나라을 위해 기도합니다. Sunny는 6 월 초에 Juan과 Sonja를 만났기 때문에 Juan과 Sonja를 위해 기도했습니다.  그들이 기도회에 초대 된 것은 이번이 처음입니다. 이 시간에 하나님의 면전에 서기까지는 놀라운 것이 었습니다. 그러나 우리 자신의 삶뿐만 아니라 후안과 손자의 삶에서 어떻게 하나님 깨서 일하시는 지를 보았습니다. 많은 사람들은 노숙자 인 사람들은 자기 자신들을 위해서 기도하거나  아니면 돈이나 다른 세속적 인 것들을 위해 기도 할 것이라고 생각하지만, 후안과 손자는 하나님이 그들에게 더 큰 것 계획을 가지고계신다는 것을 알고 있습니다.  그들 모두는 다른 사람들과 평화와 은혜를 위해 기도했습니다.

Each time we meet with Juan and Sonja and get to know them a little better, we see the human side of the homeless.  For many people, they are faceless but these are real people who need to be treated with humanism and respect.  We know that the kindness that is being shown to Juan and Sonja is changing their lives but they may not realize what an incredible impact they are having on ours.

​리가 후안과 소냐를 만나고 그들을 조금 더 잘 알게 될 때마다, 우리는 노숙자의 인간적인 면을 봅니다. 많은 사람들에게 그들은 알려져 있지 않치만 이들은 인본주의와 존경으로 대우받아야 하는 진정한 사람들입니다. 우리는 Juan과 Sonja에게 보여주고 있는 친절이 그들의 삶을 변화시키고 있지만 그들이 우리에게 어떤 놀라운 영향을 미치는지 알지 못할 수도 있다고 생각합니다.
