Discerning in St. Catharines, ON!
Storm was raised in a Christian family in Korea and came to a personal faith in God that gave his life clear direction and purpose. After a season of hardship and spiritual distance, God restored his faith and confirmed his calling through short-term mission work to the Philippines, leading him to pursue long-term ministry outside of Korea.
Storm shares that through this discerning apprenticeship, his goal is, "to become a servant truly fit for God’s use—learning how to faithfully proclaim the gospel in Canada’s multicultural, post-Christian context, with a particular heart for the next generation in the local church. Above all, I desire to grow in both faith and skill, rediscover God’s calling to this community, and daily deny myself as I am shaped to become more like Jesus."
Storm is supported in partnership with Westburne Alliance Church and the Central District of The Alliance Canada.

Invitation to Pray
Please pray with Storm for the following items:
1) Young Adults Ministry at Westburne Alliance Church
My first prayer request is to establish a young adults group at Westburne Alliance Church, where I am currently serving. I am praying to begin with small group gatherings, grow into outreach, and eventually see a youth service established. At a time when there are very few young adults in our church, I pray that the gospel will reach the young generation in our local community.
2) Discipleship of the Next Generation
My second prayer request is for the discipleship of the next generation children in our church, who are few in number. I pray that these children will hear the gospel, grow as disciples of Jesus, and testify to Christ through their lives. May revival begin in the next generation and spread throughout our region and, beyond that, across Canada.
3) Social Media Outreach
My third prayer request is for the church social media ministry I am currently serving in. Through short sermon videos and engaging church reels, I pray that the perception of the church among the next generation will change, and that the gospel will spread to all nations around the world.
4) Witness Through My Work as a Taekwondo Coach
My fourth prayer request is that, as I prepare for future missions and provide for my livelihood, I am also working as a Taekwondo coach. In Taekwondo schools where people of many different religions gather and where sharing the gospel is restricted, I desire to reflect Jesus through my life and lead them to the Lord.
