TheresaEungyong – it is not only my Korean name, but also the root of my sense of call. The name defines me as a second-generation Korean American woman, a mother, a wife, and a pastor.

For one, it is difficult to pronounce and secondly, it literally means “Silver Bells.” Nothing like the name “Theresa Silver Bells Cho” to give one an identity complex.

Good Samaritan

Interactive Prayer Stations on Good Samaritan & Love

But a Samaritan, as he traveled, came where the man was; and when he saw him, he took pity on him. He went to him and bandaged his wounds, pouring on oil and wine.
