In March 2023, I joined the staff team of Arise Church, responsible for the development of missions, pastoral care, training and other aspects of the Chinese Ministry. I had a Bachelor of Theology from the Divinity School in the Chinese University of Hong Kong. I was a pastor in a Methodist Church in Hong Kong for 13 years focusing on workplace mission, urban transformation, pastoral care for young workers, pre-marital counseling, and hospice care. In 2021, my whole family moved to the United States while I studied Master of Biblical Studies at Christian Witness Theological Seminary. I like creativity and pleasant weather in the Bay Area. Enjoy coffee, thinking, reading, and chatting.
