The pandemic dealt a blow to the finances of a pastor serving a Korean American congregation in Atlanta
A special town calls for a special pastor.
And the Rev. Sunjae Jung — initially worlds away from the storied college town of Athens, Georgia, home to the Athens Korean Presbyterian Church — heard God’s call loud and clear.
Although maybe not so clearly at first.
“When I heard about a Korean American Presbyterian church in the Atlanta area, my first answer was, ‘I don’t think it’s my calling,’ because there are over 200 of those churches and a lot of Korean pastors already in Georgia,” said Jung. “Since I was living in Korea at the time, my first answer was no. Then, when they contacted me again and told me the church was in a university city and that it has a special mission for the younger generation, I remembered being an international student myself in America when I was young and how much the church there helped me.”
