Myoung Ho and Ji Yeon Yang

Written By Marcus dePaula

Both Myoung Ho and Ji Yeon have long carried a song for mission in their hearts. Its lyrics come from Habakkuk 2:14: “For the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the Lord as the waters cover the sea.” A call to prepare for mission service prompted their move from South Korea to the United States in the late 1990s with their two sons, Samuel and John. Both sons are now married and have children. Myoung Ho earned an M.Div. degree at Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary in Massachusetts. Sensing God’s leading to the ministry of teaching, he completed his doctoral degree in Liturgical Studies at Drew University in 2009.

Myoung Ho and Ji Yeon are serving in Chiang Mai, Thailand. Myoung Ho teaches at McGilvary College of Divinity, founded in 1888, helping to prepare future church leaders to serve effectively both in the church and a society where Christianity accounts for less than 1% of the population. They are planning a continuing education program for the local church leaders in the future. Before their joining The Antioch Partners, they served as PCUSA mission co-workers for 11 years in Thailand (2022-2025) and in Hong Kong (2014-2021). Myoung Ho taught at Divinity School of Chung Chi College, and Ji Yeon served at Christian Family Center in Hong Kong. 

Before they joined world mission through PCUSA, Myoung Ho served as a worship pastor at Pilgrim Church and Sandol Presbyterian Church in New Jersey, and pastor of Westminster Presbyterian Church in New Hampshire. He taught adjunctively at seminaries in New York and New Jersey. Myoung Ho is an ordained minister of PCUSA. Ji Yeon has been involved in ministries of hospitality and Bible teaching in the churches her husband has served.

Marcus dePaula got his start working in the music industry serving as the production manager for Cafe Milano in Nashville, TN in the mid-90‘s, and later went on to work for seven years with Clair Bros. Enterprises in Nashville, TN as a touring live audio engineer and systems technician. He developed his technical expertise and troubleshooting skills in the intense and fast pace touring environment, becoming one of the most sought-after monitor engineers in Nashville. He recently spent three semesters teaching the Technical Track at The Contemporary Music Center in Brentwood, TN, where he had the opportunity to share his expertise and experiences with college students pursuing a career in the music industry. After “retiring” from touring in late 2005, Marcus joined the Audio One Nashville team where he was a CEDIA certified Systems Installation Technician specializing in planning and installing professional recording studios and high end home theaters. Marcus later joined the staff of his church, The Village Chapel, serving as Technical Director where he served for seven years. It was there that his interest in web technologies and services was sparked in building The Village Chapel's new website. Since joining Jenn as co-owner of Mixtus Media, Marcus has honed his technical skills in WordPress and Joomla CMS frameworks, graphics and video for the web, along with other web technologies in support of Mixtus Media's services. He is the technical "braun" to Jenn's brains.
