About My Family
My wife, Misoon, and I were married in 2000 in South Korea. We lived in South Korea until 2007. We have one daughter and one son. In 2007, we moved to the U.S. to study, and I finished my doctoral degree in chemistry in 2012. Then, we moved to the Bay Area.
While working as an engineer in Silicon Valley, my family had a chance to visit Paraguay on a mission trip, where we experienced a new life in the mission field and learned how evangelism could be done through missions work. While there, we shared some of our skills through events, such as computer classes and VBS. This motivated us to study at a seminary so we would be better equipped for evangelism work.
Since we saw many unbelieving people in our community, we decided to do mission work in this community with the vision of sharing the love of God with the people around us.

About My Church Plant
Since we found that people in our community are interested in learning computer coding skills, especially youth aged students in local Korean families, we have been building good relationships with some unbelieving families, as they are sending their children to our private coding school. We are encouraging them to participate in the coding class of our church in the future.
In January 2023, we launched a new church called Silicon Valley Mission Church and opened a Sunday youth activity class, teaching coding to local students and trying to use this as an opportunity to invite them and their parents to join Sunday worship service. In addition, we are trying to expand the youth program to music class so we can invite more unbelieving families and encourage their active participation in the church service and program.

NAMB Church Planting
Millions in North America are in desperate need of hope. Ultimately, the only hope that’s going to last - in this life and the next - is the hope of the gospel. North American missionaries build relationships and share this hope in their communities and beyond.
