Around the Year 2022, the President of West Africa Mission, together with his family, made a decision to take over the school without the consent and involvement of Rev. Caleb Seijin Choi and Rev. Deborah Hong. This action led to a serious misunderstanding between the missionaries, eventually resulting in a separation.

Prior to the separation, the Sungbok Church missionaries requested a refund of the funds invested in building the school, since the school had been taking over. However, this request was declined by the West Africa Mission leadership. Later after several meetings and calls from Rev. Lee Tae Hee and Sungbok Church Korea, the leadership of West Africa Mission assured Rev. Deborah Hong and Sungbok Church, Korea, that the construction funds would be refunded at a later date. However, despite this commitment, no payment has been made from 2022 to the present. After much prayer and spiritual reflection, Rev. Caleb Seijin Choi and Rev. Deborah Hong peacefully moved out of the West Africa Mission compound on the 6th of September 2022 and rented a modest two-bedroom apartment at Prampram.

Despite the challenges, Rev. Caleb Seijin Choi and Rev. Deborah Hong remained steadfast in faith and vision. They resolved to begin a new school project dedicated to Christian education and missionary impact. Through divine guidance, they engaged Rev. Richard Quarcoo who had earlier worked with them at West Africa Mission, Jesus Gospel Church and Mission International School but had also left and established Sufficient Word of Grace Church Tema Ghana. Who supported them with all the rounds and planning to acquire a land for the new school project.

As a result of the dedication, hard work, and passion demonstrated by Rev. Caleb Seijin Choi and his wife Rev. Deborah Hong, a number of MIS staff members numbering about fifteen chose to leave the school to follow them as Ruth followed Naomi. The staff members are Perez kpodo, Esther kpodo, Veronica Adjei, Henrietta Onyame Addo, Prince Amoah, Esinam Tagah, Augustina Afedo, Erica Tuagbor, Kelvin Amuzu, Precious, Jonathan, Rose, Doris, Phebe, and Anita. A number of parents, together with their wards also withdrew from MIS to join Pastor Deborah at her new school, motivated by the love, trust, and confidence they have in her leadership.

After extensive prayer and consultation, the vision to establish a new school named SUNGBOK MISSION SCHOOL (SMS) was presented to Rev. Lee Tae Hee, who, together with Sungbok Church Korea, joyfully approved and committed full support to the project.

By the grace of God, nine (9) plots of land were successfully purchased at Miotso Prampram, in October 2022, and construction of the new Sungbok Mission School commenced immediately. Rev. Caleb Seijin Choi personally supervised the project, working day and night with unwavering dedication, prayer and commitment to purchasing building materials and overseeing construction.

In honor of his legacy and in fulfillment of the vision God placed in his heart, Sungbok Mission School was officially opened for admissions on January 16th 2023, at Miotso, Prampram. By the grace of God, the school began full operation with fifty-seven (57) students.

Sungbok Mission School began with only a ground floor consisting of seven classrooms, boys and girls washrooms, and a security post, however, the ground floor was not fully completed, so the children begun learning in classrooms without windows and doors. Also because there was no administration office for the school, the security room was used for administration and accounting purposes. Sungbok Mission School begun its academic operation under Ghana Education Service and adding Korean systems to enhance learning. In addition, the school teaches TAEKWONDO, SCHOOL OF LIFE and MUSIC as extra-curricular.
