Title Who Must Be Chosen by the Lord

Our church now has two elders who are proud and loyal. However, some of you may be asking, ‘What is the purpose of this small church to establish two more?’ Of course, adding two elders to our church will not double the effect. But until now, if we share the burden of the two elders' labor and devotion and take on one of the four functions (roles) of the church, worship, education, mission, and service (communion), to bear the essence of the church, and bear the four corners of the church. You will have a balanced church status. Therefore, today, if we try to appoint someone who is more religious and devoted than the elders of today, we may be disappointed. The important thing is to select and build someone who will share the burdens of the two elders now.
There were four friends in a village. (Gap-seonbi, Eul-boatman, bottle-catcher, Jeong-flea master). We decided to go on a trip together after a long time, but it rained so much the night before and the rainy season had set, so the stream blew like a river. At this time, ‘Eul’ improvised the small boat and paddled it well. When I met a tiger on the way to the mountain, ‘Byeong’ caught me with a gun. Even though the sun had set and it was late at night, they were walking down the mountain road and they went down to the house where the lights were shining down there. It was the day of the ancestral rite, so there was no time to prepare and prepare the ancestral table. . Then, a wonderful feast was prepared, eaten, and even a bed was provided. I went to bed that night, but it was infested with fleas and I couldn't sleep. ‘Jung’ showed off his skills and slept well by conducting a flea control operation. When morning came, the owner made it up until morning and took care of the old and old money. Your friend returned to the village after a successful trip with his stamina. This story is from Lee Eun-sang's 「Today, Building a Tower」.
Today, we have chosen two more elders, and the four elders are taking the lead in leading the church according to their respective gifts, taking good care of our church on the path to heaven, completing the difficult life journey well and returning to my father's house. I want to become a church that leads to the heavenly village.
