About Niki

I grew up in a Christian family and never doubted that Jesus was the one way to salvation. But even after I committed my life to Him as a teenager, I always battled the fear that God was waiting for me to make a mistake that would disqualify me from His grace, and I had no joy because of it. Over time, that fear of falling short crept into my life in other ways, leaving me sick, lonely, passionless, and purposeless, even as a believer. But as always, God had another plan. He surrounded me with a vibrant Christian community that made me realize how purpose-filled and joyful life with Christ should be, and He used those new circumstances to change the way I understood the Gospel. Suddenly, I saw that it wasn't about my own perfection, but Christ's, and that the Gospel truly is Good News!

Eventually, God gave me the courage to head overseas and serve at WOLKO's Jr. SYME program as a short-term volunteer, where He revealed the true meaning of Paul's words: "for when I am weak, then I am strong" (2 Cor. 12:10). I realized I would gladly spend my life serving in weakness if God could use me to do more of His heart-changing work in other young people like me. In short, God had awakened something new in me—not the fear I'd known before, but a desire to help lead South Korea's next generation into the full joy, zeal, and purpose of the Gospel.

Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ's sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong. ~2 Corinthians 12:10
