exodus 4. Syrian wheat (2)
A chubby young man was sitting in a dimly lit room.
He said in a terrified voice.
“My name is Yunil Oh. I came to Syria for a mission as a missionary of the New World Church. Pastor Jeong-Hoon Bang said that this is the most marginalized area from the gospel. I served in the military with Jin-hoo Kang, the CEO of OTK Company in the past.”
Oh Yoon-il wept and talked about his training with Kang Jin-hoo and his life in the quarters.
he cried and said.
“CEO Kang Jin-hoo! No, Jin-hoo. Please save us. I’ll ask you this. You’re a comrade with me and my best friend. You’re the only one who can save us all. We want to go to Korea. ! Please help us get back alive! Ughhhh!”
***
[Syrian abductee Oh Yun-il, confirmed by Kang Jin-hoo’s military appointment][Kang Jin-hoo is known to have served in the military for over a year][Al-Syria demands $50 million in ransom for hostages!][After Gangjin, the richest person in the world, are you going to save her friend?]When al-Syria released the video on the Internet, media outlets poured out articles all at once, and comments were rushing under it.
-what? Why is Senior Jin-hoo Kang over there?
– Are you really Kang Jin-hoo’s best friend?
-Of course. It’s a match. So how close were you two?
– Haha, this bastard is at least unwritten.
– Dogs and cows are all close to Kang Jin-hoo~
– Whoa! The relationship you met in the military always ends in the military! How do you pretend to be friendly?
– Giregi. If you have a haircut, think about it. It is a fact that everyone across the country knows that the New World Church is anti-government, anti-progressive, anti-gang-jin-hoo, and anti-OTK, but if it was Kang Jin-hoo’s friend, would you have gone there?
-Hehe During the last global economic crisis, after the earthquake, I prayed all night to make it go bankrupt
-Good morning. I am the successor of Kang Jin-hoo, who served in the military for 5 months. Yoon-il Oh is appointed two months after Jin-hoo Kang. As military writers know, in the military there is something called the Law of Preservation of Advisors. Every unit must have an advisor, which makes the people around him suffer. Oh Yun-il was the representative advisor of our company. It’s surprising that Jinhoo Kang didn’t fall behind. I also went to a brigchang for 4 nights and 5 days because of bullying my successors, but now I come to reveal it, but I stabbed it with a wish fixer. Jinhoo hyung! Did I do well?
-What is the torturer’s immutable law? I act as an adviser even after leaving society.
– This company commander was disappointed with Oh Yoon-il!
– So, will Jinhoo Kang pay the ransom? Isn’t 50 million dollars worth of gum for Kang Jin-hoo?
– Absolutely not. This is not a matter of whether Kang Jin-hoo has more or less money. If you start giving money once, you will kidnap Koreans and travelers all over the world and ask Jinhoo Kang to give you money.
-It is international common sense not to negotiate with terrorists. And apart from that, I’m not looking for a military appointment. Recognize all the military writers?
-Uh, I admit.

The lives of the hostages are at stake.
You should be very careful in reporting on these matters. However, Korean media continued to report provocative.
Pond Church In Afghanistan, how they dealt with the abduction incident, who entered into negotiations, how much they spent, etc., and even the survivors of the Pond Church who were taken hostage at the time, and the families of the deceased went out to interview.
The conservative media used this as an opportunity to attack the government.
[Is the diplomatic failure of the Huh Chang-min government repeated again?][We must not repeat the failure of the pond church crisis][Vivid interview of a survivor who was kidnapped by the Taliban][There are many voices saying that the president and Kang Jin-hoo should be held responsible if the hostages die]Reporters flocked to the New World Church.
“Why did you send a missionary to Syria?”
“Didn’t you know it would be dangerous?”
“Are there any measures on the part of the church?”
“Didn’t you know it was illegal?”
Pastor Jeonghoon Bang said, waving his hand.
“This is the government’s fault for not blocking the country from leaving the country. If it is a dangerous area due to war or civil war, shouldn’t it have blocked entry by restricting the use of passports before asking ‘Why did you go there?’ It happened because we didn’t even promote it, so the government should be held accountable.”
“Then you’re saying you didn’t know that it was a travel ban country?”
“How do you know that?”
Then a reporter held out his smartphone.
“This is a photo posted by one of the missionaries on social media. If you look at it, the missionaries all took a picture together in front of a notice on a travel-banned country at Incheon International Airport. Doesn’t that mean that they went to Syria knowing that it was a travel-banned country?”
It was truly undeniable evidence.
Pastor Jeong-Hoon Bang said in a bewildered way.
“Ah, no, so this is all because of Kang Jin-hoo.”
“Yes? Why…?””
He shouted even louder to the reporter who asked in confusion.
“Since Kang Jin-hoo made a lot of money, rumors spread even in the Middle East that Koreans had a lot of money! So, aren’t our church members kidnapped like this? Kang Jin-hoo is entirely responsible for this. Preaching the gospel to pagans. We will hold an all-night prayer meeting in front of the OTK Company headquarters from today for our brothers and sisters who are in danger. What kind of salvation can there be without prayer? I will pray until Jinhoo Kang pays the ransom!”
***
People from the Saesang Church gathered in front of the OTK Company headquarters.
There was even a banner that read, ‘Prayer for the rescue of the Syrian abductees mission team’.
Pastor Jeonghoon Bang shouted while holding a microphone.
“I am preventing the church members from being killed by the power of the Holy Spirit right now. If I die, I am martyred, but if I say ‘Don’t kill’, I can’t even kill terrorists. If I kill them, I will erase them from the book of life! If you don’t want to be erased from the book of life, unconditionally You have to listen to me. I live by the arm of Muhammad. Muhammad, stop moving! If you don’t touch Muhammad, I’ll kill you!”
In the midst of this, donations were raised in the name of saving the missionaries.
“Hellelujah! This is an offering to save our brothers and sisters. Please donate generously!”
The families of the abductees cried and appealed.
“Aigoo! CEO Kang Jin-hoo! Please save our daughter!”
“CEO Kang Jin-hoo has a lot of money!”
“Aren’t people’s lives more important than money?”
“Heukheuk! My one and only son, please come back safely!”
“Please, save our leap day, CEO!”
Pastor Jeong-Hoon Bang shouted loudly.
“We can save our brothers and sisters if we pay money! 50 million dollars is just one meal for Kang Jin-hoo! Yet, he continues to ignore it. I will write a blood letter to Kang Jin-hoo!”
In front of a media camera, Pastor Jeong-Hun Bang put his finger in his mouth and bit it.
“Ugh!”
He frowned as if in pain. Then the butler, who was waiting next to him, quickly wrapped a bandage and held out a paper cup filled with liquid.
Pastor Jeonghoon Bang put his finger inside it and then began to write letters on the fabric.
He said a passerby who was watching him.
“The color is a bit strange.”
“What kind of blood is that?”
Confused, Pastor Jeonghoon Bang said to the deacon.
“It’s not enough. A little bit more.”
***
Taek-gyu looked down at him and rubbed his eyes.
“I have to go to Syria and do a performance like that in front of Muhammad Sheikh Al Khalid, why are you here?”
“I do not know.”
“Why are you waving the Taegeukgi and the Stars and Stripes?”
“I do not know.”
“But why is the blood color like that? Anyone who sees it would pretend to bite and think that it was written with povidone-iodine.”
“Yeah.”
I sighed as I watched the families of the abductees weep and pray. If your family is being held captive by a terrorist group, how would you feel?
No matter who pays, I just hope they come back safely.
Still, I don’t like the attitude as if I had to pay for it. Several media outlets, including the Chojung Ilbo, were already writing articles with such a tone.
“If you really want to pay the ransom and want the hostages to be revived, isn’t it right that you are a church and a family, and you have to collect money by loosing all your possessions and then ask them to pay the shortfall?”
“Because everyone’s money is precious.”
What if I paid the money to rescue the hostages? Then will you praise me for doing a good job?
You’re welcome. At that time, he would probably claim that it was because of his hard work. If I die, it’s my fault, if I come back safely, it’s my fault?
Jeong Ki-hong, the head of the PR team, came in and said,
“The people of the Saesang Church are trying to push in at the entrance saying they will meet the CEO. Reporters from inside and outside the country are also flocking to the front.”
This kidnapping case has already become a global issue. As many as 21 people have been taken hostage, and a terrorist group is threatening to give me money.
“It’s a situation where we have to make a statement somehow.”
I nodded.
“Ask reporters and Pastor Bang Jeong-hoon to come in. We’ll talk in the lobby.”
***
I went down to the lobby.
Reporters had already taken their seats, and Pastor Jeong-Hoon Bang had come in. A gentle expression on his white hair.
Just by looking at his appearance, he seems like a good-hearted pastor. I’ve seen it a few times on video, but this is the first time I’ve seen it in person.
Perhaps the scene is now being broadcast live all over the world.
I held out my hand once.
“Welcome, Pastor.”
“Hmm, nice to meet you.”
he grabbed my hand It looked like a bandage was wrapped around the index finger.
I said holding the hand.
“I saw you write blood before. The wound may heal, so it would be better to treat it right away. Fortunately, there is a doctor in our company. First, remove the bandages and disinfect.”
“Come on, wait.”
Pastor Jeong-Hoon Bang tried to pull his hand away, but I had to remove the bandage around his finger before that. The appearance of the exposed index finger was surprising.
“There is no wound. There is no blood.”
Reporters took pictures of the scene.
Pastor Jeong-Hoon Bang said in a bewildered way.
“Ah, no, I usually recover faster!”
“Aren’t you just pretending to be awake?”
Pastor Jeong-Hoon Bang shouted as if he had nothing to say.
“It doesn’t matter now! Our brothers and sisters who went to preach the gospel of God in an Islamic region are in danger of losing their lives. Among them, Kang Jin-hoo’s friend is included. They were arrested by Kang Jin-hoo. The responsibility is very great.”
“I didn’t send you to go to Syria to do missionary work, so what do you want me to do?”(Read more @ wuxiax.com)
He raised his voice at my words.
“Is money important, or people’s lives? More than lives. There is only hell for those who choose money!”
So, I wonder why they are asking me to pay that money.
“I’ve heard good things. Are you saying that people’s lives are more important than money?”
“Of course! There is nothing in this world more important than the life God has given you!”
“i See.”
I nodded my head and said to Pastor Jeonghoon Bang.
“Then the pastor will pay only 2 billion won.”
He was startled by my words.
“Two billion? What does that mean?”
I said it like it was natural.
“Isn’t life more precious than money, as the pastor said? If the pastor gives only 2 billion won to save the lives of the members, I will pay the remaining 50 billion won.”
Pastor Jeonghoon Bang shouted.
“Where’s my 2 billion dollars!?”
“I saw that you were living in Eunseong Apartment in Apgujeong, wouldn’t you get 2 billion won just by selling the house? You can sell it and pay it.”
“What? If you sell your house, you and your family will have to sit on the street?”
“Isn’t the life of 21 church members more important than the house? Do you mean that you don’t care whether the church members die or not for the sake of yourself and your family’s comfortable life?”
“Why are you asking me to pay that money!?”
“Then why do you call me me?”
“Oh, that’s it… Apartments worth over 2 billion won’t sell so easily! How hard is real estate these days?”
I nodded my head in agreement.
“I’ll buy it. I knew that, so I prepared a real estate sales contract. Just sign it and I’ll deposit 2 billion won right away.”
“What, what?”
“I don’t have time. If the pastor doesn’t pay 2 billion won, will you take responsibility for the entire mission?”
Pastor Jeonghoon Bang shouted even louder.
“No, why am I responsible for that!?”
“Then why are you asking me to take responsibility?”
“What, what?”
I said with a sad expression on my face.
“Pastor Jeong-hoon Bang here said that he couldn’t pay the 2 billion won because his apartment in Apgujeong was more important than the lives of the church members, so I couldn’t pay the ransom to Al Syria. It’s really unfortunate. I’m in a safe place and I’m in a civil war. Anyone can easily push people to do missionary work in their country. Likewise, anyone can force others to pay money even though they have no intention of paying a penny. Please write it clearly in the article. If the hostages die, I will take the money. It’s not because of the brochure, but because Pastor Jeong-Hoon Bang didn’t pay.”
