Being born and raised in Vancouver, I am passionate about exploring what God’s image looks like in the lives of those who are different from me. It is no wonder that I have a deep love for language, as each language allows us to see and experience the world, our life, and God in different ways. I have come to experience this by continuously learning how to thoughtfully navigate dialogue, especially at the intersection of faith, culture, and community. As a Chinese–Canadian–Christian, the journey of following Jesus has had its particular challenges. As a result, I have come to value the process of deconstruction and reconstruction, where through patiently and persistently seeking God for who He is, our identity in Jesus Christ becomes more deeply and richly rooted in His character, truth, and way. Through studying a Bachelors of Early Childhood Education from Capilano University and Masters of Theological Studies from Regent College, these have nurtured a passion for cultivating a charitable, culturally nuanced, biblically informed, integrated, and Christ-centered posture towards life. Within the context of Burnaby Pacific Grace MB Church, I hope to walk with those who call this community home. I am keen on nurturing a legacy of endeavouring to disciple and be discipled in our collective and individual commitments to Christ, to navigate the challenges and needs of a multi-generational, multi-cultural, and local context, and to treasure the gifts that we all bring as being the hands and feet of Jesus for our neighbours.
我在溫哥華出生和長大，我熱衷於探索上帝的形像如何在那些與我不同的人的生命中彰顯。我對語言有著深厚的喜愛，每種語言都讓我們以不同方式看待和體驗世界、生命以及上帝。我透過不斷學習如何用心地進行對話來體驗這一點，尤其是在信仰、文化與社群交集的地方。作為一名華裔加拿大基督徒，跟隨耶穌的旅程有其特定的挑戰。因此，我學會了珍惜拆解與重建的過程，透過耐心而持續地尋求認識上帝，我們在耶穌基督裡的身份會更加深刻、豐富地扎根於祂的品格、真理與道路中。透過在Capilano University 修讀幼兒教育學士以及在Regent College攻讀神學研究碩士，這些學習經歷培養了我的一種生活態度對以慈愛、敏銳文化差異、聖經為基礎、追求信仰與生活的整合及以基督為中心。在本立比頌恩堂教會這個大家庭中，我希望與那些視這個社群為家的朋友同行。我渴望建立一種傳承: 在集體與個人的層面，致力於作主的門徒，也致力於培育門徒，去應對跨世代、跨文化及本地環境中的挑戰與需求，並珍惜我們每個人所帶來的恩賜，成為鄰舍眼中耶穌的「手」與「腳」。
