On June 18, 2025, BriDaija Jones, a staff member from YEF Headquarters, visited Korea to receive fellowship with Korean members and learn more about missions around the world from experienced pastors and missionaries. She shared that the experience was a real blessing, and she’s thankful for the chance to receive this blessing. BriDaija also prayed that more people would be able to come and experience the same care and restoration.
She met many leaders and members of the community. She joined the Wednesday service and had time to connect with others who are actively walking in faith.
During her stay, BriDaija also joined in mission activities with YEF Korea. She especially looked forward to opportunities to evangelize and share her faith while learning from the local team. She asked for continued prayers for her safety and for her faith to grow deeper during this time, especially through the support of the senior members and leaders around her. 
She also shared some of her honest reflections about the people she’s met and what she’s been learning:
“Meeting the older members has been a unique and eye-opening experience. They’re definitely passionate and intense in their faith. I truly admire their dedication and the way they continue to fight to keep their faith strong. I can already sense that this time will be a period of real growth for me. I pray that I can stay humble, be open to learning, and receive wisdom and grace through this experience.”
As she continues her time in Korea, YEF prays this season will help her grow spiritually, gain new insights, and build strong connections with others in the mission field.
