The number of overseas members, who fly from abroad, are increasing more and more. Like clouds, like doves, they are flying to Korea, the promised land. On Aug. 18, about 20 members from New York and L.A. visited Korea.
They spent a happy time in the bosom of nature at Elohim Training Institute and Okcheon Training Institute like Mother's warm arms, appreciating great nature created by God. However, what made them more happy was that they were able to study the Bible here in Korea, receiving God's love intimately. And their heart fluttered in anticipation of meeting Korean members, who are working as Universiade supporters and practicing love for neighbors worldwide and devoting themselves to world gospel mission.

On Aug. 21, members from USA visited Daegu to participate in Universiade Opening Ceremony; they were clothed in yellow T-shirts printed with a symbol of Aurah Supporters. In the afternoon, they visited 'Church of God Universiade Operations Center' and met Korean church members who were busy doing various support activities. They were flushed with amazement and excitement when they saw brothers and sisters working wholeheartedly and enthusiastically as supporters. Without God's help, it is impossible for such a great organization to work in perfect order and harmony. Saying that, they gave thanks and glory to God.
We didn't know why they wore yellow T-shirts until we were seated in the Universiade Main Stadium to participate the opening ceremony. To join Aurah Supporters in the performance "WEU," they were all wearing the same T-shirts and hats.

The youth of Aurah Supporters, who had already arrived there to practice the performance, gave a joyous welcome to the foreign members who visited the stadium to join the supporters. In response, the members from USA formed a -shape with their hands over their heads. Their quick-witted action cheered up the atmosphere a bit more. A -shape making over the head with the words "We love you seems to have become our own trademark.
Aurah Supporters' cheering performance, changing speedily and rhythmically, was enough to move the members from USA. We've never seen such a wonderful cheering in the States." They were busy turning their heads and eyes up or down or side to side in order not to miss a single scene.

When the athletes entered the stadium with the announcement of the opening, Aurah Supporters gave them a fervent welcome, shouting, "We! Love! You!" Then some athletes faced toward the supporters and formed a -shape over their heads and bobbed their heads. Through Aurah Supporters who were watched by world people, the members from USA witnessed the fulfillment of this prophecy'The youth like the dew will volunteer freely in the day of the Lord's power.' They realized the greatness of God's light one again.
Members from USA are expected to be here in Korea until the Universiade ends on Aug. 31. During their stay, they are scheduled to apply themselves to the study of the Bible and also to support the US athletes together with Aurah Supporters for USA Team. Members from nationwide and from oversea will join together at the Universiade. It will be a great experience to them.
