The 2025 OTM Korea Festival, hosted by OTM Korea, concluded gracefully with the participation of over 130 attendees. The event was organized as a youth festival with the vision of allowing the diverse God-given talents within OTM members to blossom into a beautiful Christ-centered culture.
OTM AP representative shared the background behind preparing the festival, saying,
“Reflecting on the grace poured out during the Macau short-term mission trip and the previous OTM Festival, I felt the need for a place where the pure passion overflowing in teenagers can be expressed healthily toward the Lord.” She added, “Although the preparation period was short—just about two months—and there were many areas lacking, I am grateful that the Lord filled everything with abundant grace.”
The festival was filled with vibrant booth activities that teenagers could enjoy, including poetry and art exhibitions, face painting, tattoo stickers, dalgona candy challenge, claw machine games, prize dart throwing, and a café with refreshments. On the main stage, attendees enjoyed OTM’s 2025 ministry report and future vision presentation video, worship dance, recorder performances, piano solos, and the theatrical play “The Club.”
The final program of the event was a parent–child prayer gathering.
During prayer, one parent confessed, “I said I loved my child, but I realize now that I tried to raise them according to my own desires. I repent of this.” Another parent prayed tearfully, “My child is a precious life entrusted by the Lord, yet I feel I have not guided them with the love of Christ.”
During this time, OTM students received a deep message of comfort and conviction from the Holy Spirit:
“I will wait until you open your heart. But when you seek Me and call out to Me, I will run to you at once. Whatever you do and wherever you are, I will love you and be with you. Remember that this never changes.”
With about 130 participants, the festival concluded with a prize drawing, where 20 attendees received gifts provided through sponsorship from KP Town.
The Representative shared future plans, saying, “Starting next year, we plan to hold the OTM Korea Festival annually around Thanksgiving Sunday. We hope to strengthen early promotion and offer prize events so that many more Christian teenagers can join and that this festival may serve as a gateway for evangelism.”
She concluded,
“My prayer is that through this festival, more people will experience the deep love of the cross given through Jesus, and that this love will bloom into culture, filling this land with the culture of Christ.”
