Sandi Ju
Sandi Ju was raised in a Christian home and grew up in the church, as her father served as a senior pastor under PCUSA. Yet it was not until her college years that she experienced true salvation, transformation, and healing from depression through the power of the gospel of Jesus Christ and the work of the Holy Spirit. At the age of 21, she received God’s call into ministry and went on to earn a Bible degree from Philadelphia Biblical University (Cairn University), took counseling courses through CCEF, and received ordination in 2021 through a non-denominational organization. She has devoted over 23 years to pastoring children and youth and has also spoken at various church retreats, revivals, and events across the Tri-State area, including New York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania.
In 2020, during the height of the pandemic, Sandi experienced what she describes as a "baptism of fire" (Matthew 3:11) in her bedroom—another life-defining encounter with God. From that moment, the Lord began to deepen her relationship with Jesus through greater intimacy with the Holy Spirit and an increased hunger for His Word. Within a year, the Holy Spirit birthed the vision of CYRR. Since then, by the grace of God, she has witnessed a genuine move of the Spirit marked by salvations, transformed lives, freedom, healing, and spiritual renewal among students over the past five years.
Today, Sandi and her husband, Hoon, continue to carry a heart for revival and discipleship. As they prepare to lead this summer's revival conference, their desire is to see individuals and families encounter the presence of God, experience freedom and breakthrough through the power of Jesus Christ, and be equipped to walk confidently in their God-given identity and purpose. Their prayer is that people of all ages would be empowered to live wholeheartedly for the Kingdom of God through the transforming power of the Gospel and the work of the Holy Spirit.
Her life verse is: “Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind, and love your neighbor as yourself.” (Luke 10:27)

Hoon Ju
Hoon Ju was raised in a Buddhist household and struggled with drug addiction for ten years. At the age of 25, he had a supernatural encounter with Jesus that radically transformed his life and confirmed his calling to pastoral ministry. He earned a Bible certificate from Dominion Bible Institute, received his pastoral ordination, and has faithfully served the Lord for over 18 years as a pastor in Philadelphia, PA—ministering to youth, foster students, the mentally ill, and the homeless, as well as serving as a missionary reaching the poor and orphans overseas.
He is now 42 years old and has been married to his wife, Sandi Ju, for over 10 years. Since 2024, they have been ministering, mentoring, and discipling students and adults individually through Zoom on a freewill offering basis. Through an unexpected prompting from the Lord, Hoon and Sandi relocated from New Jersey to Philadelphia, PA in January 2026 to plant a ministry following Sandi’s father’s retirement from Multicultural Church of Peace. They are currently in a season of prayer in leading this ministry in English, welcoming a diverse and multicultural community.
His life verse is: “Jesus answered, ‘If anyone loves me, he will keep my word, and my Father will love him, and we will come to him and make our home with him.’” (John 14:23)
