첫동인지출판을하며
김동욱/글로벌선교문학회대표
지나온삼년의발걸음이그리쉽지는않았습니다.
각자에게주어진선교의분주한현장속에서작은시간을어떻게효과적이고창조적이며의미있게사용할것인가?일상의현장을보다새롭게하고연합하여더큰시너지를나타낼무엇이없을것인가?
많은시간을기도하며고민하는가운데글로벌선교문학회(GlobalMissionLiteratureAssociation)의첫걸음을내디뎠습니다.
2025년처음도전하는동인지출판을통해사막의길을걷고있는분들에게현재걷고있는그길이분명의미있는길임을주께서전하기원하셨습니다.코로나이후많은순례의길을걷는분들이사막과같은험하고외롭고절망적인길을걷고있지만,그길가운데도분명히함께하시는하늘아버지의메시지를전하고싶었습니다.사막의장미꽃“아데니움”의소망을함께나누고싶었습니다.그리하여지난1년동안글을쓰며,워십댄스를연습하며,책을만들며,올릴무대를꿈꾸며한걸음한걸음걸어왔습니다.

지난3년동안줌강의를통해창작의샘을퍼올리신아데니움동인작가17명을축하드립니다.어려운길을해내셨습니다.장하십니다.시니어선교사역중사막한가운데쓰러져더이상걸을수없는상황으로철수했지만사막에도분명히길이있음을믿고수천의밤을눈물과기도와재활의지로불태워다시일어서셔서출판기념식무대에멋지게서신이신헌목사님과곁에서헌신의길을걸어오신박효영사모님께박수와존경의인사를전합니다.
아울러,첫동인지‘아데니움’이세상에빛을볼수있도록여러가지로후원해주시고축하의글과평론을써주신국제문학발행인김성구박사님께깊은감사를드립니다.
아데니움꽃이사막의길을걷는이들에게희망을주기까지는수억의밤을목마름과외로움속에서지새운결과입니다.저희글로벌선교문학회(GMLA)가지구촌곳곳에서사막과같은선교지를걸으며지상에서의사명을감당하시는모든순례자들께아침이슬같은만나의기쁨을지속적으로전할수있기를소망합니다.

동인지출판을축하드리며
이영희목사(변화프로젝트교도소문서선교대표,ICLTC설립자)
첫동인지출판을진심으로축하드리며,글로벌선교문학회의모든수고하신분들께찬양과박수를보냅니다.
예수님은우리를누구보다잘아십니다."나는포도나무요너희는가지라.그가내안에,내가그안에거하면사람이열매를많이맺나니나를떠나서는너희가아무것도할수없음이라."(요한복음15:5)
예수님이함께하시지않았다면이번출판은불가능했을것입니다.성령님의인도하심과치유의역사,그리고영성창작아카데미를통해비전을품고섬김과열정으로이끌어주신김동욱선교사님의헌신이아름다운열매를맺게하셨습니다.
믿음과사역의여정속에서선교사님들과사역자들의이야기를만나는것은하나님의놀라우신은혜입니다.주님을사랑하는마음으로최선을다해써내려간,마음깊은곳의고난과아픔,눈물,그리고하나님과의여정과치유가담긴글들은독자들의마음을깊이울립니다.

성령님께서사용하셔서,이책은세상에주님의놀라우심을알리고상처를치유하며,예수님의사랑을전하는귀한도구가될것입니다.여러분의믿음과사역의부르심과간증의글은하나님의살아계심을드러내며,성령님께서여러분의글을통해하나님의계획과치유를세상에전하게하실것입니다.
이책에담긴모든글에는하나님에대한사랑이깃들어있습니다.그리고그사랑은이미주님의사랑을입은증거입니다.
주님은우리가상상할수없는길로가장좋은길로인도하십니다.좋은멘토를따라간다는것은여정에있어큰축복입니다.김동욱선교사님의섬세한지도를통해여러분의글이세상에주님의빛을밝히드러내게된것또한,주님께큰기쁨이되리라
