Builder's Journal

A solo founder's honest journey building a faith-first dating app.

Hi, I'm Luka. A Christian single in South Korea, building GCM for those who want to be seen for who they really are.

I've been a Christian for 20 years in Korea. The more I see, the more disillusioned I become with the institutional church.

Not matching people by church size or denomination. But by the faith that shows up in their everyday life β€” quiet, real, and Christ-centered.
