Sooyoungro Church
(www.sooyoungro.org) was founded by Rev. Jung, Phil-do in 1975, with a vision for the evangelization of Busan and South Korea and a strong calling for world missions. Now, under the leadership of senior pastor Rev. Lee, Kyu-hyun, Sooyoungro church is moving forward with greater influence in Busan, all throughout Korea, and around the world.
