About James Choung
James Choung started his educational odyssey at MIT, graduating in 1995 with a Management Science degree before heading off to Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary to acquire a Master of Divinity in 1999.
Feeling more confused about God when he left seminary than when he started, he eventually wound up sitting at the feet of the wise gurus at Fuller Theological Seminary and graduated in 2008 with a Doctor of Ministry in Postmodern Leadership.
Along the way, Choung helped plant an urban, multi-ethnic church called Cambridge Community Fellowship Church, and eventually became the pastor. He also served as intern pastor over international youth, college and expats in the English-speaking ministries of Onnuri Community Church in Seoul, Korea.
Previously Choung served as divisional director of InterVarsity Christian Fellowship's San Diego Division. With over 16 campuses and 220,000 students to connect with, he kept crazy busy. But somehow he managed to crank out the book True Story and companion booklet, Based on a True Story, as well as maintain a speaking schedule traveling throughout the country shaking up ministerial minds on topics like leadership and evangelism.
His latest gig has him serving as national director of Asian American Ministries for InterVarsity Christian Fellowship: 168 staff and 4,646 students to try and connect with all over the country is keeping life from getting boring.
When he gets time to breath, Choung likes hanging with his buddies, globe-trotting, reading and writing angsty thoughts in his journal. He and his wife, Jinhee, and little ones, Isaiah and Nathan, live in Torrance, California, where they enjoy soaking up the rays.
