By God’s grace, I was born into a family where my great-great-grandfather heard the gospel from a missionary in the early 1900s and accepted Jesus Christ, and where four generations have maintained their faith. This led me to participate in church throughout my childhood and adolescence, growing up healthy both physically and spiritually. From a young age, I dreamed of becoming a pastor, and during my school years, I felt a calling to ministry. 

After completing my studies at Kosin University (B.A.) and Korea Theological Seminary (M.Div.), I was ordained as a pastor by the Central Busan Presbytery of the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church of Korea (Kosin). During my time as a pastor, I traveled to England to continue my theological studies. 

While studying in England (at London Seminary), I served in Korean churches and at the Metropolitan Tabernacle (Spurgeon’s Church), a church in England. Through this ministry, I encountered many young Koreans, Korean families, and international marriages. This led me to recognize the need for ministry among these individuals in London. This led me to begin my ministry to immigrants in London.
