Help Catherine’s family lay her to rest

I’m asking for your help to give Catherine (혜민 Hyemin) the kind of farewell she deserves. Her family is navigating the impossible right now, and we’re raising funds to help with the costs of her funeral and burial. If you knew Cat, or if her story touches you in any way, please consider contributing.

Anything helps, and I know her family - and everyone who loved her - will be forever grateful. Below, you’ll find a message from her family honoring Catherine (Korean above and English below).

사랑하는 혜민이가 천국으로 초청받았습니다. 

29년 동안 이 땅에서 하나님의 임무를 잘 마치고 이제 천국으로 파송을 받았습니다.

많은 사람에게 혜민이는 미소천사였습니다 태어나면서 부터 크리스천으로 자라 하나님의 사람으로 성장하여 학창시절부터 많은 친구들을 예수님께로 인도했습니다.

미국 군대에서 6년간 봉사를 했고,

간호사로서 많은 사역을 해왔습니다. 

이제는 자리를 옮겨 하나님 품에서 우리와 더 많은 교제를 할 것입니다

이땅에서 우리와 함께한 시간이 너무 짧은 것 같지만 앞으로 우리와 함께 할 더 좋은 사역을 기다리며 이제 우리의 사랑 혜민이를 온 마음으로 환송해주길 바랍니다.

Catherine - our dear “Cat” to some - has been called home to heaven.

For 29 years, she lived faithfully, carrying out God’s purpose here on earth, and now she has been commissioned to her eternal home.

Her life was filled with so much joy, she was constantly smiling and laughing. Anyone that knew Cat would know her laugh was contagious.

She was born and raised in faith, growing into a woman of God who consistently cultivated her relationship with Him.

She walked with a bold, Spirit-led faith that we know touched many lives. Her love for the Lord was self-evident, leading many friends to Jesus.

She served six years in the U.S. military and continued caring for and serving even more people through her time as a nurse. Her service has not ended, it continues on through the lives of those she's impacted.

Though her time with us feels far too short, she is now resting safely in God’s embrace. Please join us in a spirit of love and prayer as we honor and celebrate her beautiful life.
