In the early years, the missionary work of sailors in the port of Long Beach was greatly influenced by the encouragement, prayers, and support of many supporters. In particular, the elders who served in the Chinese church (Bread of Life Church) participated in the Long Beach Harbor Sailor Mission, and in particular, the CK & Kay Ho Foundation gave great financial support, which gave great strength to the mission work. In addition, due to the passionate support of large and small supporters, the missionary society was able to stand on its own financially. As a result, we were able to visit 300-400 trade ships every year to hold gospel mission meetings, hold the Summer Gospel Expansion Project for two months (July and August) to carry out intensive ship missionary activities, and expand the winter Christmas Gospel . The project was held for two months in December and January and led many sailors to the path of salvation. Our missionaries worked intensively for this ministry. In addition, with the generous support of JC Sale's Chairman Shim Hyun-shik and Vice Chairman Kenny Seo, we received many gifts (towels, soap, perfume, toothbrush, toothpaste, shampoo, gloves, socks, etc.) we also preached the gospel while passing it on. All these extended missions were due to the grace of the Lord Jesus and the prayers and love of our benefactors.

Prior to establishing the Pacific Seafarers Mission, Pastor Sung  Lee served as a member of Shinwoo Mission for 9 years. After that, in October 2015, he founded the Pacific Seafarers Mission and served in Long Beach port for 7 years, meeting and fellowshipping with various ministers and sharing the direction of the ministry. Among them, Indian missionaries Chim Mandalia, Pastor Samson Chauhan, Pastor Byung Sung Kim, Elder Sujeon Chae, missionary Namhwan An, missionary Joonyong Oh, Chinese Church elder James Liao, elder Paul Lam, elder Yau K Ho, elder Brian Gau, missionary Gordon Ho etc. However, from December 2020, Pastor Sung Lee was looking for a move to a city close to the Long Beach Harbor. While I was praying in the yard, God suddenly commanded me to "move to Houston, Texas." At that time, Pastor Sung Lee was shocked and bewildered because it was such an unexpected order, but my wife and I couldn't disobey God's command, so we planned to move to Houston, and finally, on April 14 of that year, we moved from California to Houston, Texas. And after moving here to Houston, little by little I understand why God asked me to go here. I will come back to this story later.

However, from December 2020, Pastor Seongjae Lee was looking for a move to a city close to the Long Beach Harbor, but the way to move was not open due to various difficult circumstances. While I was praying in the yard, God suddenly commanded me to "move to Houston, Texas." At that time, Pastor Seongjae Lee was shocked and bewildered because it was such an unexpected command, but my wife and I couldn't disobey God's command, so we planned to move to Houston, and finally, on April 14 of that year, we moved from California to Houston, Texas.
