Hello,
This is Simon.

I trained as a Christian English teacher with professional expertise grounded in a Christian worldview and philosophy of education, earning a Level 2 secondary school English teaching certificate. I developed an approach to English as a language that carries culture, values, and ways of thinking—not merely as a subject for examinations. English also equipped me to communicate and collaborate across linguistic and cultural boundaries.

I studied Scripture and the Christian faith systematically within the conservative Reformed and Calvinist tradition. The theological foundation I established here continues to guide my education and ministry. I seek to bring the theology I have learned into life and ministry rather than keeping it as knowledge alone.

I am studying evangelical theology in English alongside approximately 70 international students from over 20 countries. Fellowship with students from diverse cultural and theological backgrounds broadens my theological perspective and allows me to hear firsthand about mission and the church around the world. This experience of international theological education in Korea is deepening my understanding of global mission and church unity.

Standground is a ministry community for teenagers and young adults with the vision of helping teenagers thrive and equipping young adults. Beginning with school church ministry, we go directly to schools and everyday settings to build relationships and support young people's faith and growth through a range of ministries. We work to help the next generation grow as active participants in building the church today, not simply as its future.

Lighthouse Nomad Church is a community where people from all walks of life who feel like sojourners can feel welcome to worship and share fellowship. People with different backgrounds and life journeys become one community in Christ, seeking to live out the nature of the church through hospitality and fellowship. On fifth Sundays, we also meet people experiencing homelessness at Seoul Station and share the love of Jesus.

Soulbridge School is an alternative education institution designated by the Seoul Metropolitan Office of Education. It offers alternative education to teenagers who face difficulties at school or are at risk of leaving school. As an English instructor, I adapt lessons to students' varied circumstances and needs, helping them discover their potential and grow.

Awesome School is an education company that helps teenagers discover their potential through a variety of experiences and challenges, and empowers them to plan their futures. As an instructor, I visit middle and high schools across Korea to teach artificial intelligence, career exploration, and entrepreneurship. Meeting students directly in their schools, I help them understand new technologies and social change and explore their own paths.

Christian & Missionary Alliance

The denomination developed from the evangelical missionary alliance movement founded by A. B. Simpson in the United States in 1887. Through the Alliance World Fellowship (AWF) network spanning 88 countries, it pursues evangelism, church planting, and unity and cooperation among churches around the world. It embraces a missionary vision in which the global church shares in the calling to share the gospel beyond the boundaries of individual local churches.

Fourth Younger Leaders Gathering

YLG 4 is the fourth Younger Leaders Gathering hosted by the Lausanne Movement. In 2027, approximately 1,200 participants are expected to attend in person and 400 online. Emerging Christian leaders from diverse countries and ministry backgrounds will grow together through biblical teaching, mentoring, and international collaboration. Beyond the gathering, long-term discipleship and collaboration will help participants contribute to world evangelization and the expansion of God's kingdom.
