A pastor from Penangtrying to work himself out of a job.

01Johor Bahru, 2000

For years I trained people to hit targets.

In the year 2000 I was running my own IT and telecommunications business, training my team in our Johor Bahru office. How to think in goals. How to sell. How to live with purpose. I enjoyed it, and I was good at it. I watched ordinary people change when somebody finally took the time to train them properly.

What I did not yet have was the thing worth training them for.

02Seoul, 2019

In a church in Seoul, I gave Him the whole thing.

Nineteen years later, in 2019, I was at Sarang Church in Seoul, South Korea. I had believed for a long time already. There my life was truly transformed, and I surrendered it to Jesus — not a part of it, the whole of it — willing to walk the rest of my days following His teaching.

The exhibition I was standing in front of was called the Bible Road. That is still how I think of my life. Not a career. Not a ministry plan. A road, walked with Jesus, one step of obedience at a time.

03The call

I was a Christian for years before anyone taught me to make a disciple.

Back in Penang I served faithfully, and for a long time I assumed that was the whole job. Then I read 2 Timothy 2:2 slowly, and could not put it down: entrust what you heard to reliable people who will teach others. Four generations in one verse. I had never passed anything on to a second generation, let alone a fourth.

I had spent years training people to reach a sales target. I had never once trained a person to make a disciple.

So I went looking for a way to do it that ordinary people could copy. That search led me to the Zúme System — a simple, free discipleship training used around the world. I ran the first group in Penang. Then a second. Then people from that group started their own. I have not stopped since.

Johor Bahru, 2000. Seoul, 2019. Penang, 2026. Jesus transformed my life, gave me a new one, and gave it a new purpose in the Kingdom of God. Today I am a pastor, a missionary, a disciple-maker and a multiplier, living for Him — still on the same road, one step of obedience at a time.

04Family

Soojin and I serve together.

My wife Soojin is my ministry partner. She leads with me at the Mission Hub, writes daily SOAPS devotions in the Psalms, and carries the Korean stream of our work. When you invite me, you are usually getting both of us.

05Mission

Commissioned in 2024. Sent to Malaysia and Southeast Asia.

In 2024 we were commissioned as missionaries with Team Expansion, an international mission agency, at their Connect gathering in the United States. Our field is Malaysia, Southern Thailand and Indonesia, with digital reach into Hong Kong and China.

Today I serve as Head of Mission at St George's Church Penang, the oldest Anglican church in Southeast Asia, and I founded Mission Disciple School, which trains believers in six languages through weekly online classes and a physical Mission Hub at the St George Heritage Café in George Town. Everything runs through Bible Mission Services, my registered ministry business in Malaysia.
