Growing up in China, I never heard the gospel, never went to church, never had an opportunity to learn about Christianity. I went to New Zealand at 19 as an international student. During my time in New Zealand, God changed my life forever. I heard the gospel for the first time and prayed to receive Christ. After becoming a Christian, God put this desire in my heart to reach other international students. I joined Tandem Ministry/Studentlife after graduated from university in 2008 to reach those international students at University of Canterbury.

Growing up in America, my wife Kassi went to church and received Christ at a young age. After graduating from college, she taught English in Europe and China. During her teaching in China, she saw the need to share the gospel with her Chinese students.

And it was at a local church in Shanghai, we met for the first time.

After being New Zealand staff for 10 years, I became US staff in the fall of 2019. My wife and I are excited to reach over 10,000 international students for Christ in the Denver metro area in the US. We truly believe we can fulfill the great commission by reaching international students for Christ. Through these international students, God can reach the nations! Thank you for your partnership in the gospel as we reach international students for Christ.

神爱世人。
