Dinner with the Packs



While serving in Zambia, my next-door neighbors are James and Songja Pack. The are ISC workers (International Service Corps) with our International Mission Board. James was a pastor in Korean Baptist churches for many years, both in California and in Houston, Texas, before he and Songja went to Argentina as ISC workers. For the last six years, he has served as an instructor at the Baptist Seminary in Lusaka, Zambia. Songja also teaches women’s classes at the school. On weekends they are often traveling to the bush to train and support remote, rural congregations.

The IMB is commissioning more and more Korean Americans for mission service, and you may know that one of the larger missionary-sending nations outside the U.S. is South Korea. The Packs occasionally meet with South Korean missionaries who are serving in Zambia.

Last night they invited me for Korean food. Ah, such good eats. I’m still full.
