Our Founder

Pastor Ock Soo Park

The Good News Mission was started from the faith of the forgiveness of sins that Pastor Ock Soo Park received by the grace of God.

At the time, Pastor Ock Soo Park felt that he could do nothing but give himself to the Lord. So he decided to walk the path of a gospel preacher. Although facing poverty, coldness, and hunger, he received the great dream and the promise of preaching gospel all around the world.

"Ask of me, and I shall give thee the heathen for thine inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth for thy possession."(Psalm 2:8)

Now, we can see those many fruits of the gospel across the globe.
