Fomer UW Ph.D. Graduate Returns to Madison, Wisconsin to Plant a Church


As summer has come to us in southern Wisconsin we are grateful for the laborers the Lord is sending to us. This article gives you highlights about what is taking place. We also want to share with you our vision for the future. One person we want to introduce to you is Woongki Lee.

On June 1, Woongki “James” Lee and his family moved to Madison, Wisconsin from Louisville, Kentucky. Woongki graduated with a Master of Divinity degree from The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary in Louisville. In many ways, James is coming home as he graduated with a Ph.D. in Chemistry in 1994 from the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
James vision is to plant Brotherly Love International Church. This church will be geared to reach international students, professors, faculty, and other professionals. In Louisville, James and his family attended Antioch Church where they were reaching internationals from across the world. In his short time since June 1, James has already been engaging people from many different countries. The area that James will be targeting is the 53705 zip code where people from more than 60 nations reside in Madison. We are grateful for the Lord Jesus calling James back to our area and we look forward to seeing what God is going to do through him in the years ahead.
