How We Get The Name “Galilee”

We called ourselves “Galilee Employment Service Company” because Jesus has performed a lot of miracles in Galilee. One of them is:

Jesus had revealed himself to the disciples twice after his resurrection. But what Jesus said during those two occasions was rather simple and the disciples did not know what to do. At that time, Peter seemed to lose his patience and he wanted others to follow him. They went to Lake Tiberias (Sea of Galilee), a place where Jesus used to take them fishing. They labored all night but were not able to catch a single fish. This is the situation like the day before Peter was called. (Luke 5:5) When they were feeling frustrated, Jesus talked to them on the shore. Afterwards, the disciples were surprised to find they could hardly pull up the net they had casted. They find out later there were totally 153 fish. The scene from three years ago emerged and an observant John said: “It’s the Lord”.

We believe this is what God has promised to Galilee Employment Service Company: Getting people like getting fish. This name also meets the approval from our pastors, believing there will be plenty ready for us by God. 

Jesus Calls His First Disciples

Luke 5
(Matthew 4:18-22; Mark 1:16-20)
1One day as Jesus was standing by the Lake of Gennesaret, the people were crowding around him and listening to the word of God. 2 He saw at the water’s edge two boats, left there by the fishermen, who were washing their nets. 3 He got into one of the boats, the one belonging to Simon, and asked him to put out a little from shore. Then he sat down and taught the people from the boat.
4 When he had finished speaking, he said to Simon, “Put out into deep water, and let down the nets for a catch.”
5 Simon answered, “Master, we’ve worked hard all night and haven’t caught anything. But because you say so, I will let down the nets.”
6 When they had done so, they caught such a large number of fish that their nets began to break. 7 So they signaled their partners in the other boat to come and help them, and they came and filled both boats so full that they began to sink.
8 When Simon Peter saw this, he fell at Jesus’ knees and said, “Go away from me, Lord; I am a sinful man!” 9 For he and all his companions were astonished at the catch of fish they had taken, 10 and so were James and John, the sons of Zebedee, Simon’s partners.
Then Jesus said to Simon, “Don’t be afraid; from now on you will fish for people.” 11 So they pulled their boats up on shore, left everything and followed him.
