Wedding Chapel at our host church, Bupyeong Methodist Church in Incheon, South Korea

Rev. Eun Pa Hong, senior pastor of Bupyeong Methodist Church, has a collection of figurines and toys that are displayed in the room used to count the offerings. The collection is brought out each Christmas for the children to see.

In one of the church's conference rooms, Rev. Hong noted that church meetings last no more than 20 minutes (though the preparation for a meeting takes much longer).
