Soojung was born in the Philadelphia area and graduated from Temple University with her bachelor in elementary education and Holy Family with her masters in ESOL education. She has been a teacher in the School District of Philadelphia for a little over 6 years. Soojung has been a member of Renewal since 2012 and has been serving children’s ministry at Renewal since 2014 and youth group at Renewal since 2019.

Soojung hopes to be a positive, constant to the children in urban area and believe that all children should be given the opportunity to be a child and learn through love and play. Fun facts that are not so fun about Soojung is that she loves plants, flowers, nature, and obviously children. Although she’s always been in Philadelphia, she has only recently become a “Philadelphia sports fan” and has been deeply feeling the pains and sorrows of being one.

Let the Children Come to Me. Then children were brought to him that he might lay his hands on them and pray. The disciples rebuked the people, but Jesus said, “Let the little children come to me and do not hinder them, for to such belongs the kingdom of heaven.” And he laid his hands on them and went away. - Matthew 19:13-15
