There he held various volunteer positions such as an adult Sunday School Teacher and Bible Study Teacher, Youth Leader, Lay Preacher, and Church Board Member. As their first Young Adult Pastor, he established various ministry clubs and two successful Young Adult mission trips to the Philippines in which he personally lead the second trip. In his spare time, Jun created a Bible Interpretation website in the late 1990s, which is still active today. He studied at Global University and received a degree in Biblical Studies and later received his credentials under the Assemblies of God.
