Park Seong Beom, a 37-year-old South Korean man, had just begun to fulfill his dream of evangelizing in a Southeast Asian country when an AirAsia Bhd. plane carrying him and his family went missing off the coast of Borneo.
“It had been only two months since he settled in Indonesia and he was in the middle of learning the local language,” Kim Jong Heon, a pastor at Yeosu First Presbyterian Church on the southern coast of South Korea, said today by phone. “He didn’t mind evangelizing as an ordinary Christian, because he was passionate about his work and wanted to help people in any way he could.”
