Peter immigrated from South Korea to Dallas, Texas when he was eight years old. Four years later at a traveling revival, he committed his life to full-time ministry. To that end, he attended Wheaton College for his B.A. and M.A. degrees. With a heart for missions, he spent the next two years at Jiangsu University in China teaching English to college students. Upon his return to the United States, he attended Princeton Seminary and became an ordained minister. A lifelong learner, he earned a Doctor of Ministry later in life.

Peter has been preaching for more than 30 years to youth and adults across the U.S., Latin America, Australia, and South Korea in multiple languages. He has been a plower, planter, and consultant to churches in Chicago and throughout North Carolina. Additionally, he was a professor and director of international students at Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary-Charlotte and has worked with a number of non-profit organizations.

God has uniquely called Peter to be a leader and bridge among cultures and generations. His multiethnic and multicultural background, unique experiences, and ability to connect with people from all races, ages, and vocations allow for flexibility, openness, and creativity in the way that he serves. He is a mature, humble, Spirit-filled lover of Jesus and His Word who walks with wisdom and insight from rich, diverse ministry experience. He is a disciple maker drawing from his own journey of life’s ups and downs.

Peter is married with two young adult sons. He enjoys sports, fitness, and conversations over coffee.
