At West Park, Donghee (Danny) wears two hats: the Assistant Minister to Internationals and Community Ministry Analyst. As a minister, he serves internationals living in our community. As a community ministry analyst, he analyzes our community’s demographics. This helps the church and CedarBrook Outreach develop and execute more effective community outreach programs for the proclamation of the good news of Jesus Christ.
He came to the United States in 2012 and has lived here as an immigrant for the last eight years. For this reason, he can empathize with the hardships and difficulties that internationals have to face in day-to-day life. Believing that anyone can find eternal hope, joy, and peace in God, he is willing to reach out to internationals with the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
