1. What is your favorite Bible verse?

Charlie: Psalm 23 (all of it). Throughout my childhood, my mom used to have me recite it in English and Korean. It’s all-encompassing: our God is good, provides us with everything we need until our “cup overflows”.
Salina: “It is the Lord who goes before you. He will be with you; he will not leave you or forsake you. Do not fear or be dismayed." ‭‭Deuteronomy‬ ‭31‬:‭8‬ ‭ESV‬‬

 
2. Why did you decide to become a CG leader?

Charlie:  Snacks/food, access to KCPC’s secret underground lounge, and guaranteed ticket to heaven.  Jk.  Peter & Patti Kim asked us to co-lead and we loved the servant culture (vice consumer culture) of KCPC EC.  "Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God's grace in its various forms." - 1 Peter 4:10
Salina:  We were new to the EC and I felt that God was calling us to use our gifts despite my discomfort in taking on more responsibilities. It’s been a growing and enriching experience. 

3. How can we pray for you?

Charlie: 100% that God uses our family for His good will and blessing to others. 
Salina: That our 3 children come to know and love the God that knows and loves them! 
 

4. How have you been blessed during your time as a CG leader?

Charlie: God’s given us the opportunity to serve alongside this COMMUNITY. Life is very different when we’re actively involved with our CG through Christ!  "Whoever brings blessing will be enriched, and one who waters will himself be watered." - Proverbs 11:25 (ESV)
Salina: This is such a loaded question!! The joy and closeness with God that I feel through His service, is unmatched. 
 

5. If you could describe your CG in 3 words, what would they be? 

Charlie: Wholeness Through Wellness.  Our CG is ministry focused on Holistic Health. We help to raise awareness through mental health education and to provide support opportunities for healing holistically, restoring one’s body, mind and soul.
Salina: Since Charlie already hit on the core ministry focus of our CG, I will add: uplifting, diverse, and safe.
 

6. If you could only eat at one restaurant forever, what restaurant would it be?

Charlie: Sweet Tomatoes / Souplantation Has a little bit of everything. Our family loved going there all the time. Unfortunately the business became a COVID-casualty.
Salina: I agree with Charlie. 
 

7. What is your favorite dessert?

Charlie: YES, please.
Salina: White cake with real whipped cream and fruit on top! 
 

8. What was your favorite song in middle school? 

Charlie: 1st of Tha Month - Bone Thugs-N-Harmony
Salina: My music taste was and is varied and I love music so it’s hard to pick just one but I’ll say, Just a Girl by No Doubt. 
 

9. If you could time travel, would you rather go to the past or into the future? Why?

Charlie: To the past to spend some more time with my dad. …and to experience some of history’s greatest moments from Biblical times through present.
Salina: I guess the future because we already know what’s happened in the past?! I think I’m better off right where I am, though. 

10. If you could go anywhere in the world, where would you go?

Charlie: The International Space Station. I think it would be fascinating to gain a better understanding of that domain and….make sure the Earth isn’t flat.
Salina: Snorkeling in the Great Barrier Reef!
