Paul Cho (Founder)
Paul was born in Seoul, Korea in 1955 into a Buddhist family. He attended Shin Il High School in Seoul, Korea then graduated from Seoul National University with a Bachelor’s Degree in Mathematics. He also attended Pierre & Marie Curie University in Paris as an undergrad before coming to America. He attended University of Missouri, Rolla (UMR) and received his Master’s in Computer Science.
Paul was brought to Christ after witnessing God’s healing power on his close relative. He was not able to deny Christ ever again. He made a Korean Christian Club at UMR and started a bible study group there
In 2001, Paul started his own ministry to preach to those in Men’s Central Jail and Twin Towers Jail (both located in Los Angeles County). By 2007, he became a volunteer chaplain at Corcoran State Prison 4 hours away from Los Angeles. He stayed there for 3 days every month to preach and offer Bible study for inmates that had a desire to learn about who God is. Paul was also able to connect with Harvest Bible University to start a discipleship program which awarded actual degrees to over 600 inmates in prison.
He also evangelized locally at market places by helping people with groceries, handing out pamphlets, gum, and pencils. He then started going to Pasadena City College (PCC) and distributed Evangellical Pamphlets to students. He connected with Rose City Church and started his “$2 Korean BBQ” for students to get quality yet affordable lunch while at school. Almost 100 students came every time they threw the event to eat and learn about Jesus Christ. He did this once a week for 5 years with Rose City Church and for 1 year with Victory Presbyterian Church.
Paul also started a study group at Los Angeles City College (LACC) called Apologetics for Christ (AFC) and organized $2 Korean BBQ events there.
Although everything came to a halt due to Covid-19, Paul never ceased to honor God. He is currently setting up the same ministry with Glory Church of Jesus Christ (GCJC) located across the street from Los Angeles Trade Technical College (LATTC).
He just finished writing a book called “The great Atheist’s Faith” in Korean (will publish in English as well) a rebuttal regarding the 24 questions left from the founder of Samsung Group, an atheist.
His current vision is to help out orphans by giving them affordable housing while finding them a job. Furthermore, he is raising money for his Christian Campus Housing (CCH) project which will provide affordable housing for students.
Our Statement of Faith
We believe the Bible to be the inspired, the only infallible, authoritative Word of God.
We believe that there is one God, eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son, and the Holy Spirit.
We believe in the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, in His virgin birth, in His sinless life, in His miracles, in His vicarious and atoning death through His shed blood, in His bodily resurrection, in His ascension to the right hand of the Father, and in His personal return in power and glory.
We believe that for the salvation of lost and sinful man, regeneration of the Holy Spirit is absolutely essential.
We believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit by whose indwelling the Christian is enabled to live a godly life.
We believe in the resurrection of both the saved and the lost; they that are saved unto the resurrection of life and they that are lost unto the resurrection of damnation.
We believe in the spiritual unity of believers in our Lord Jesus Christ.
Our Mission
Our mission is to glorify Christ in all we do first and foremost. We believe it is our duty to care for those who are in need. We believe in the importance of love (1 Cor. 13.3) and the need to shine God’s light in this world (Matt. 5.14-16). We are devoted to evangelizing and teaching Biblical apologetics to inmates, students, and orphans for the glory of God alone while using whatever resources we have to help them in their daily needs.
Our Team
We have a team that is made up of many different people from all walks of life. We all share the love of Christ and the desire to glorify His name above all names.
