From Campus Crusade Staffweb:

"Dr. Joon-Gon Kim, founder of Korea Campus Crusade for Christ, has gone home to be with the Lord on the morning of September 29, 2009. He was 84 years old.

Dr. Kim, a visionary and a faithful man of God, has been totally committed to reaching every person in Korea, and the world, for Christ. Many have come to know him as a person who loves God and had the capacity to think big for God, and have been deeply influenced by his passion for the Great Commission.

Steve Douglass says of Dr. Kim, "Campus Crusade for Christ mourns the loss of a superb spiritual leader. God used him mightily in our ministry and beyond. We all mourn with and pray for the family, staff of Korea Campus Crusade for Christ and so many other members of the Body of Christ in Korea who counted him as a faithful friend." "

Within the first decade, Campus Crusade went international in establishing a partnership with Dr. Kim in South Korea. In the next 40 years, the country grows from receiving missionaries to being a sending nation with 270 staff serving in 23 countries.
