Hello, 828 community. I’m Liv Jung, and I’d like to share another piece of my journey with you.

Since embracing the call to live by Matthew 6:33—“But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well”—I’ve been doing my best to devote myself to 828.

For years, the dream of 828 has been in my heart, but I often found myself caught up in the worries of daily life. I was chasing after money, trying to pay off debts, and the reality of those challenges kept me from fully committing to 828.

Despite how impossible it all seemed, we were blessed to marry on 24.07.20 in a Catholic church. That day, we made a decision to dedicate the rest of our lives to God.

After a brief honeymoon, I returned home with a heart full of questions. I kept asking God, “What do you want from me? What is my purpose?” Though no clear answers came, I chose to wait patiently. In the meantime, I immersed myself in studying the New Testament, knowing that even if I couldn’t hear God’s voice at that moment, I wanted to be someone who pleases Him, like Jesus, David, and others who walked faithfully with God.

I’ve come to understand that God desires us to be like Jesus, to be His devoted children. So, I wanted to learn everything I could about Jesus from the Bible.

After finishing the New Testament, I felt a strong calling to devote myself to 828 fully. I wanted to create a community where people can find solutions to their problems through God’s Word.

So, on 2024.08.12, 828 was born. We designed a logo, built a community website, created social media accounts, and began crafting content to share with others.

Now that all the basic setup is complete, it’s time to spread God’s message and grow this community through the content we create!

We’re excited to share that we uploaded our first video on YouTube today, and within just five hours, we’ve gained three new subscribers. It’s a small start, but it brings us so much joy. Over 100 people have already watched the video, and it feels like we’re finally being used for God’s purpose. We hope that anyone who watches it finds strength and encouragement. You can check out our first video here: YouTube Link.

As we move forward, we’re filled with gratitude and excitement. We know this journey is just beginning, and we’re eager to see where God leads us next. We’ll continue to share our daily “Living with GOD” diary, and we hope you’ll walk alongside us with warmth and understanding.

Thank you for being part of this community. Let’s grow closer to God together, one step at a time.

We invite you to walk with us and support us with your warm encouragement. May God’s blessings and peace be with you today, and may we continue to walk this journey of faith together.❤️

I’ve been running my own business for about eight years, and I’m also a published author. I’m so glad to be a part of the 828 community. I’ve always dreamed of a place where I can talk about God without limits.

I don’t have many Christians around me, so I often feel lonely in the real world. My parents are Catholic, and I was raised in the Catholic culture, but I barely knew the Bible, and to me, God was just like a genie in a lamp.

I met the real God in July 2022. I’ll never forget the day when God powerfully intervened in my life. I was making a lot of money from my business, but I lost it all through a bad investment. The failure was so deep that it seemed there was no way out but death. But during that time, I kept investing and trading because I had no other option to recover what I had lost.

I went through an incredibly difficult time—it felt like walking on thin ice every day. Surprisingly, even though things were falling apart, I continued to work hard, putting my life on the line every day.

Then, on July 1st, 2022, it happened. My investment completely collapsed while I wasn’t looking, and I had no choice but to surrender everything. I gave up everything and kept asking myself, “Why did this happen?”

From that moment, I stopped relying on my own strength. I surrendered to the sign God was giving me that “this is not the way” and began to seek another path.

It felt like the journey of the Israelites escaping from Egypt. For me, Egypt was the capital market, and the wilderness was the path to survival—perhaps leading to the promised land, Canaan.

Two years later, I experienced the presence of God in a very real way. I survived, and I survived again, and if anyone heard my story, it would sound like a miracle. I can’t deny that God is real, not just a genie. If God were a genie, I would have been dead because every day felt like dying, but I was saved every time I faced trouble.

When I realized the presence of God and what it truly means to be “born again,” I never thought the same way again.

My mind changed, my philosophy changed, my dreams changed. God transformed me from the bottom up.

And finally, through these years, I have become a true Christian. Even though I’m not perfect and still struggle with sin, my love for God is authentic and eternal.

I’m really rejoicing to share my story here for the first time (I’ve never told anyone this story before because it’s still fresh, and I’m still getting back on my feet. I’m still working on it, but I want to share my growth journey somewhere).

It is truly an honor to share my story here. Although I’m not perfect, I want to share my daily Christian diary with the 828 community.

I hope to be a positive influence in this community. May God bless all of us. Thank you.
