Juri

Finance Manager

Juri was born and raised in Korea until she graduated from middle school, and then she went off to Adelaide, South Australia where she attended high school at an Anglican girls’ school. She then earned a bachelor's degree in Media and Communications at the University of Sydney.

In 2005, Juri returned to Korea and started working at a company where she began a career in PR. She got married in 2009 to her husband, Joe. After working in the PR field for almost a decade, in 2017, after giving birth to her third child, she started working as finance manager for Footstool, hoping that it would give her an opportunity to pursue God's kingdom work, while also allowing her to raise her children.  

In 2023, Juri chased after a new dream of becoming a Pilates instructor, because she wanted to use these skills to serve missionaries at the Footstool Membercare Retreat. In 2024, she became an internationally certified Pilates instructor, and she currently coaches and helps various people to improve their physical health and well being.

Jinhyang

Communications & Media Manager

Jinhyang was born and raised in Seoul, and graduated from Sookmyung Women's University with a major in Media and Information Studies. She began her career in public relations, managing communications and event planning for global IT companies. Jinhyang then moved to an international nonprofit, handling PR and advocacy campaigns for the UN convention and international development. Later, she expanded her expertise by leading innovative projects with government agencies, corporations, and nonprofits to empower youth and foster healthy organizational cultures.

Her journey with Footstool began as a volunteer, participating over several years at the Member Care Retreat, which eventually led to her official involvement. With a wide array of interests and skills, Jinhyang embraces her calling as a "booster"— adding energy and drive to God's Kingdom work.

A fan of Disney, Pixar, and musicals, Jinhyang enjoys exploring new things, learning, and connecting with people over good food—qualities that might make her seem extroverted. Yet, she is a true introvert at heart, finding joy in peaceful mornings, the soothing rhythm of baking, and tending to her plants.
