There was no place too far or remote to take the message of the gospel. Founder Dong Sun Lim was a life-long missionary who had a passion to take the message of the gospel to the ends of the world. Founder Dong Sun Lim’s desire was to raise up Christian leaders with a strong desire to expand the kingdom of God. World Mission University was established to train pastors, missionaries and lay leaders. Dr. Dong Sun Lim WMU Founder Founder Lim’s vision was to establish a quality educational institution both academically and spiritually. “The reason I founded this school was to train faithful pastors, passionate missionaries, and lay leaders. What I dream for this school will not be achieved overnight. My hope and prayer is that World Mission University would become a Korean Harvard, a Korean Yale, and a Korean Princeton in the near future”. (Dong Sun Lim, Retrospect and Prospect, 2000). Through a shared and united vision for the school, the leadership of World Mission University stands committed to realize/expand the vision that founder Dong Sun Lim had for the institution and what God has in store for our future. 6 Message from the President
