Michael was born in South Korea in 1976 and raised in a non-religious home. He only went to church maybe three times in his whole childhood. He never heard the Gospel growing up. However, by God’s grace, during his college years in 1997, Michael met an American missionary, Bill Stewart, in Korea. He presented the Gospel to Michael, and for the first time he realized that Jesus is the only Savior. In the country of South Korea, every adult male must serve in the Korean military for at least two years. However, Michael volunteered to serve for 6 years as an officer in the army and completed his duty as a captain. It was during this time that God gave him the opportunity to work with another American missionary, Leo Dutton, as a church interpreter. He learned many things from God’s Word there as he began to grow in Christ. Upon completing my military service, Michael moved back to his hometown and was privileged to work as a church interpreter under the ministry of American missionary David Lewis. God taught him many more things at that place and there, in 2005, God called him to the ministry and Michael surrendered his life to preach the Gospel. In 2006, Michael came to America and was trained at Crown College of the Bible, graduating with a Master of Ministry degree in 2010. It was while he was at Bible college that he met his wife to be, Freda Johnson. Before they ever met, God had already given her a burden for Korea and allowed her to have a short-term missionary experience teaching English in Korea.
