SDA Education's Director Kim, Si Young successfully carried out the meaningful 40th Anniversary Celebration on September 18, 2009 at the Seoul English Institute Church venue.
The celebration began with the presence of the Northern Asian Pacific Division President Lee, Jae Ryong, Korean Union Conference President Hong, Myoung Kwon, Seoul National University Professor, a former director of the Ministry of Education Professor Moon Yong Ryn and associated leaders and the important denomination leaders, missionary teachers, and staff members numbering over 650 attendees.
Dr. Lee Jae Ryong gave the congratulatory remarks stating "I hope that SDA Sahmyook Language School will become a precious instrument for revealing God's commission through the community service." Seoul National University's Professor Moon Yong Ryn said that "I attended SDA as a university student as a young man,' "SDA Language Institute brought great treasure to Korea, 'and 'has given a valuable direction in the lives of many.' |
The celebration was more meaningful due
to the presence of six first year missionaries such as David Whitaker-the 1st coordinator, Doug Havens, Janine Conley Dillon, Nancy Kim, and David Belsh . The second director Pastor Maurice Bascom and the first coordinator shared their memories of the institute at the early stage which touched the hearts of the attendees. |

|
| Pastor Bascom, quoting Philippians 2:5, stated that the reason for the institute being so successful were due to the blessings of God and the dedicated service of the missionaries who served with the mind of Christ.
David Whitaker stated that "The success of the institute is not based on the deeds of any men, but the providence and blessings of God," and he gave all the glory to God.
All the first year missionaries jointly stated |
that when the institute first began, they had faced so many obstacles and problems, however, the reason the institute was so prosperous and has grown successfully during the past 40 years is truly a blessing from God and His goodness.
Following their reminiscence of the past, Pastor Kim, Si Young made a proclamation of the vision for the future. Through this proclamation, he expressed the institute's new direction using the three visions for the future. In the past, SDA Language Institute has been focused only on teaching of foreign languages. However, it will carry on its business into three areas and will expand its growth.
