Miss Korea Performs at Crusade Conference

Alright, this will probably be the last post on my blog that has anything to do with Miss Universe, but I just have to point this one out. Honey Lee, Miss Korea 2006 and third runner-up for Miss Universe 2007, just performed at Campus Crusade's world conference on Monday evening.

That may not seem like a huge deal, but let me share my side of the story. After hearing Miss Korea share her passion for missions in front of a global audience during the Miss Universe pageant, I really hoped to have a chance to chat with her after the show. My buddy Jason and I hob-nobbed with the best of 'em at one of the after-parties, but Honey eluded us.

Finally, just after we decided to call it quits (in the wee hours of the morning), we spotted Honey leaving the exclusive after-party (where we couldn't go). Unfortunately, her ear was glued to a cell phone, so I settled for her boyfriend instead. We spoke for a few minutes, and I shared the vision of our world conference in Busan, South Korea. He'd never heard of Campus Crusade before, but offered to talk with Honey about it.

After that short interchange, we exchanged info, and I emailed the powers-that-be to try to connect Miss Korea to the CM2007 conference. It seemed like a no-brainer to have this gifted young lady join us in her home country as we talk about fulfilling the commission of reaching every university.

Thankfully the hosting committee agreed, and a few weeks later, here she is! (Fast forward through the first few minutes. She gives a great testimony of how the Christians at the Miss Universe pageant met together for prayer every morning - and several of them were in the top 5.)
