About
교수 소개
Dr. Peter Lee is a missiologist whose life mission is to equip the body of Christ for participating in God’s mission in the world through his research and teaching. He has over two decades of ministry experiences in multicultural and intercultural contexts around the world. In addition to his international mission experiences, he brings his missiological research skills, holistic view of Christian ministry, and strategic thinking to his faculty role at Trinity.
Dr. Lee has worked with Operation Mobilization (OM) since 1997. He currently serves with OM as a missiological researcher, sharing his time between Trinity and OM. After serving as a pastor in immigrant churches in the Los Angeles area for six years, he worked for ten years in North Africa, during which he lived out a life of witness to Christ among Muslims, led a multinational ministry team, and trained international business and development workers in cultural adaptation and intercultural skills. He coached and mentored numerous mission workers and expatriate professionals during that time.
He was born and grew up in Seoul, Korea and immigrated to the U. S. as a teenager. He sensed God’s calling to cross-cultural missions when he attended Urbana Mission Conference as a college senior, which entirely altered his life and career path. He studied mechanical engineering as an undergraduate and worked as an engineer in petrochemical plant construction projects in Southeast Asia and the Middle East. He was ordained as a minister in the Presbyterian Church (USA). He has lived in four countries, traveled to dozens in five continents, and regularly collaborates with Christian workers around the world through his work in mission research.
Dr. Lee’s research and teaching interests include intercultural social relations, multicultural ministries, studies of cultural globalization, social scientific research methods, international migration, Christians and Muslims in the diaspora, gender and same-sex sexuality issues in Christian mission, Asian American Christianity, Christianity in Korea, and social changes in the Muslim world.
He is married and has two sons in college and a daughter in high school. He currently lives in Vernon Hills, Illinois.
