Biography

Dr. Peter T. Lee is a missiologist, intercultural researcher, and theological educator. His life mission is to equip the global body of Christ to participate in God’s mission through learning, influencing, and strategizing with and for the global church. He has worked with Operation Mobilization (OM) since 1997. Dr. Lee lived for ten years in North Africa, during which he led a multicultural ministry team and trained international business and development workers in cultural adaptation. He also mentored many expatriate professionals during that time. A native of Seoul, Korea, Peter’s family immigrated to the US when he was fourteen. He made a lifetime commitment to global missions when he attended Urbana 93 Mission Conference as a college student. He continues to obey and pursue his calling in global missions by equipping and mentoring leaders of the global church at Talbot School of Theology.
