Surpassing Worth

This blog is my glorified yellow legal pad of thoughts & ideas (just be glad you don’t have to decipher my handwriting).

Essentials

My given name is Daniel Insuk Ko. I really didn’t have a choice in all that, but I guess that makes me a Korean-American male. I was born and raised in Chicago, which automatically makes me a person that knows something about tragedy (i.e. Cubs & Bears). I’ve learned to deal with losing, whether it’s playoff games or my first pet who died the very first night I had him. I have an incredibly awesome family who supports me in all that I do and exemplifies what a Church, the body of Christ,  should look like. I’m also engaged to marry the girl I fell in love with one day, after I’d known her for 7 years (long story).

I’m a graduate of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign with a bachelors degree in Psychology (which I think I should get a refund for, but that’s a whole different discussion). In Champaign, I attended Covenant Fellowship Church where I had a blast being a part of the youth group for 3 of those 7 years.

Then I moved to Boston where I currently attend Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary in pursuit of a degree that will apparently create a halo over my head and allow me to get into Baseball games at discounted rates (but most people just call it a Masters of Divinity). I am a member of Seven Mile Road, part of the Acts 29 Church Planting Network, which is a community that longs to reach the city of Boston with the Gospel, the good news.

Certainly, the most important thing about me is that I’m a follower of Jesus, who by an unimaginable act of love, chose to die in my place so that I would be able to live with God forever. I’m the most underserving of this gift, but it just goes to show that truly “the last shall be first” in the Kingdom of God. He’s called me to a life of ministry in His church and I can’t wait to see what that looks like from here on out. But everyday I live, I’m just astounded by the person of Jesus.
