Chiyon Huh

MK Education in the Philippines

As a Korean American, Chiyon has had a special burden to reach unreached Koreans for Christ since she dedicated herself for missions in 1987. That special burden for Koreans has led her to the Philippines to help Korean missionaries with their children’s education.

Chiyon was born and raised in Korea until she was eleven and her family immigrated to the United States. She accepted Christ as her personal Savior at the age of 14, and she committed herself to become a missionary at the age of 17. Chiyon graduated from Biola University with a B.A. in Christian Education, and went to Fuller Theological Seminary to receive an M.A. in Cross-Cultural Studies with a concentration in TEFL (Teaching English as a Foreign Language).

Chiyon served as a youth and children’s pastor in Korean-American churches in Southern California for seven years. While learning and gaining ministry experience at the local church, she continued to pursue her overseas calling by participating in short-term mission trips and working on staff at KAM-OMF, mobilizing Korean Americans for missions and coordinating summer mission trips.

Working on staff with OMF and leading a summer mission team, Chiyon was convicted of the urgency and the importance of MK (missionary kids) ministry. She responded to the need by committing herself to the task and going to the Philippines. She worked for three years at Hankuk Academy (first Korean MK school and only school with K-12 curriculum) and now at Faith Academy.

Chiyon sees God’s faithfulness and provision leading her to the specific ministry to Korean MKs in the Philippines. Now Chiyon’s vision is to mobilize and train Korean Christian leaders and help them to be equipped to work at and be connected to international schools with Korean MKs.
