Jung, Jim & Claudia

Jim and Claudia met and married in Southern California in 1998. They both sensed God’s calling to serve in missions in their 20s. Having multicultural backgrounds from Korea to Brazil to the U.S., their multilingual and third-culture experiences prepared them for overseas mission. Jim is a graduate of Westminster Seminary California and an ordained teaching elder in the PCA. Claudia’s training is in education. Their very vivacious daughter, Eleanor, was born in Australia, loves God, and proudly bears all the joys of being a global citizen.

The Jungs were commissioned by MTW in 2005 and have been based in Sydney, Australia, since 2006. Their work focused on a gospel ecosystem for Sydney, including a vibrant city church plant, a college ministry (now RUF-Australia) on multiple campuses, and a workplace ministry reaching city professionals. Since 2015, Jim has been serving as MTW regional director for Australasia, which includes Australia, New Zealand, and Pacific Island nations such as Fiji, Vanuatu, and Samoa. Jim’s role is to oversee MTW’s work and teams in the region, develop new projects, manage partnerships, and recruit missions force for the kingdom harvest. Please pray with the Jungs and join the mission for God’s glory alone!
