20090531 Have a vision (Proverbs 29:18)
God who gives dreams
In 1912, a young missionary graduated from college and was sent to Korea as a missionary for the Presbyterian Church in the United States.
After witnessing the March 1st Movement, he attended a local lay conference in the southern United States in the same year and announced the Japanese colonial rule and the spirit of nonviolent resistance of the March 1st Movement. And during the Korean War, despite the evacuation procession during the Korean War, he remained in Jeonju to run the Bible School.
Missionary Lee married a senior daughter and had four sons, who they raised in Korea until high school.
And he founded today's Hannam University in Daejeon, which combines faith and academics.
Years passed and his grandson came to Korea as the CEO of a global BT (biotechnology) company.
While looking for a BT research institute in Korea as an outpost for advancing into China, I saw the amazing growth of the university my grandfather had built.
He said he would make Hannam University a world-class university, and he willingly promised $5 million in financial support.
This is the story of William Linton III, published in the March 17, 2005 newspaper.
God values the seeds of faith and gives us the vision of faith.

I worked hard, and I spent more time in prison, I was beaten many times, and I almost died. I was beaten five times with one less rod, three times with rods, once with stones, three times shipwrecked, a day and a night in the depths
On many journeys, in dangers from rivers, in dangers from robbers, in dangers from our own people, in dangers from the Gentiles, in dangers in the city, in dangers in the wilderness, in dangers at sea, in dangers from false brothers, and toiling and toiling, and many times sleeping without sleep, hunger and thirst.
