PASTOR

I grew up in a family of 11 from a typical traditional Chinese cultural background. It would be considered an ‘accident’ that I ended up in a Sunday school because a new house church was planted beside my house soon after we moved in.

Looking back, I see it as the pre-planned grace of God, since then I know God has been guiding me in all those crucial junctures in life where decisions have to be made. I see pastoral ministry and the faith Community as a family. An imperfect family but a wonderful family nevertheless consisting of unique individuals in their journey of life within the grace of God. Journeying together.

God has a very unique sense of humour because just when I have already concluded that I’ll finish the last quarter of my life without a family, He gave me a wonderful wife (which I still feel total undeserving of her) and two children whom I refer to as my two forces of chaos.

This new phase in life has taught me much, above all, the lesson of humility! I am better for it as a person and as a pastor. I am a pastor, a spiritual parent with some good and some unruly children but a wonderful family nevertheless. A family of Grace and Love learning to love and learning to be gracious. I am blessed to be their pastor.

My passion? Teaching and preaching the Word and witnessing the transformations of lives through the Word.
