Arise, shine, for your light has come, and the glory of the LORD rises
upon you.
(Isaiah 60:1)
Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
For the last half-century the Korean churches experienced the wonderful
growth spiritually as well as in numbers and also had sent many
missionaries to all over the world to shine the light for the glory
of the Lord. However the influence of Christian lawyers on our society
has been decreased and weak. So, our desire of restoration and revival
is getting stronger.
We, Christian lawyers believe that the Lord sent us to this legal
profession to serve the neighbor and to do justice and thus we have
always sought what we can do for the glory of the Lord. While we
personally are very grateful for what God has done for us, we have
to admit that we have not lived up to the God's expectations.
Recently, Advocates International told us that many fellow Christian
lawyers in Asian countries have wished to meet together at some
place in Korea to find out the right answers, to share our faiths
together and to help each other. After prayers and discussions,
we concluded that it will be the wonderful chance that God gave
us and finally made decision to hold 'Asian Christian Lawyers Leadership
Conference' under the theme ' the Mission though the Law' in Seoul
for 5 days from on October 17th to October 21st.
Dear brother and sister! Who knows but that you have come to the
legal profession for such a times as this? (Esther 4:14)
It will be a great chance for God to open the door for the world
mission in Asia and for Asian Christian lawyers to establish networks.
We expect that this conference will not be a temporary event but
the starting point of organizing the annual Asian Christian lawyers
leadership conferences.
We would like to ask all of you to participate in this historic
conference with all our hearts.
