Gracepoint Berkeley Missions Night – Grandma Bessie
This video of Grandma Bessie and other missionaries was shown at Gracepoint Berkeley’s mission night this past week. Grandma Bessie was formerly a missionary to China, where she served from age 23 and for 17 years. Our church has had the awesome privilege of meeting her through the Elderly Care Ministry. Her bright presence and constant encouragement always refreshed our ECM members. During her 100th birthday earlier this month, some of us had a chance to celebrate her birthday, during which we expressed gratitude for the faithful life of this godly woman, who even at age 100 still reads her Bible daily and prays fervently for those around her. At the Gracepoint Berkeley mission night, we were challenged to go out as we were reminded of her faith and the legacy of Christian missionaries who left behind comfortable lives to advance the Kingdom of God.
Here is some reflection on the ripple effect from Grandma Bessie’s life, by Kelly Kang, who leads Gracepoint Berkeley with her husband Pastor Ed Kang.

- Problem of Suffering / Pain June 22, 2010I've been asked a lot by non-Christians concerning the unfairness of God such as why a loving God would allow suffering (cancer, Holocuast, childhood mortality, etc.). I normally respond by saying that Jesus suffered the ultimate pain and unfair punishment by dying in our place on the cross so that we would not have eternal damnation. Are there other re […]
