Peter T. Lee

Peter T. Lee serves as Adjunct Professor of Missiology and faculty advisor for the Korean Doctor of Ministry program at Trinity Evangelical Divinity School (TEDS), Trinity International University, since 2020. An ordained Presbyterian minister, he concurrently works with Operation Mobilization (OM) as a mission researcher for the Middle East and North Africa region.

His educational background includes:

• BS in Mechanical Engineering from Georgia Institute of Technology
• Master of Divinity from Fuller Theological Seminary
• PhD from Trinity Evangelical Divinity School

Dr. Lee's research centers on transformative intercultural social relations, multiethnic ministries, and cultural globalization. He employs social scientific methods to analyze international migration, Christian-Muslim relations in diaspora contexts, and gender dynamics in mission work, with specific focus on Korean immigrant churches and social changes in the Muslim world. His holistic approach integrates field experience with academic rigor.

His 2017-2023 publications consistently explore cultural hybridity as both phenomenon and analytical tool, revealing trends in diaspora missiology, multiethnic leadership, and critical reevaluations of concepts like unreached people groups. This interdisciplinary body bridges missiology, sociology, and cultural studies while addressing contemporary challenges in Muslim-Christian relations and Asian American mission participation.

Dr. Lee actively participates in professional societies including the American Society of Missiology, Evangelical Missiological Society, International Association for Mission Studies, and Midwest Mission Studies Fellowship.

As Korean Doctor of Ministry program advisor, he mentors students in advanced missiological research. His extensive field mentoring of mission workers during ten years in North Africa focused on cultural adaptation and intercultural team dynamics. Research support derives from institutional roles at TEDS and OM rather than discrete grants.

Dr. Lee's collaborative work emphasizes multinational team leadership in North Africa and global partnerships through OM, with current research examining intercultural social dynamics among Christian workers and diaspora communities across five continents.
