Now Here’s A Brave Church Planter!

With just 35 potential congregates, James Yu took a leap of faith moving to this small west Georgia town to preach the gospel in Korean. But the Baptist minister isn't worried. A $1.2 billion Kia Motors Corp. auto plant under construction in nearby West Point gives him hope for a larger audience for his message...

Yu was recruited by the Georgia Baptist Convention to help pave the biblical way for an expected increase in Koreans moving to Troup County, which lies along the Alabama border about 75 miles southwest of Atlanta. He left a job preaching at a Korean church in Atlanta to start New Heaven Baptist Mission on the Square, a part of First Baptist Church on the Square.

“Its crazy, I know,” Yu said. “It’s faith.”

The church was expected to hold its official kick-off service Sunday.
