Another Korean initiative led to the foundation of still another church. In 1993 a Korean student, Do-Gun Yoon, who had started theological studies in Seoul, arrived in Bolivia. Having completed studies at the Korean theological seminary (cf. no. 1), he was ordained and worked with the IEPB. Later he decided to separate and, with the support of Grace Church, New York, of the Korean Presbyterian Church in the US, organized a new church. Two pastors, Sung-Duck Suh and Eshik Kim, work with the church; it is located in La Paz, Cochabamba, and Sta Cruz. The group has not yet obtained official governmental recognition.
