I was born in 1963 in Shandong Province, China. I went to Jilin University in Changchun, China in 1980 for undergraduate study and continued graduate study in 1984. I remembered that I bought and enjoyed reading a simplified New Testament Bible around 1986, but only as a story book to study English. My wife and I got married in 1987. I came to the US in 1992 to pursue my PhD at University of Minnesota. My wife Jean and my daughter Grace joined me in May 1993. We moved to Michigan for my first job in 1996, and then moved back to Minnesota for my second job in 2001. During 2001 Sept church evangelism retreat, I accepted Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior on Sept 8, a few hours after my wife Jean made the same confession. I served at T4C and fellowship until Dec 2005, when I moved to Arizona for my third job at Intel. Then I served as Greater Phoenix Chinese Christian Church fellowship chair and church deacon, and Bible Study Fellowship STL（Substitute Teaching Leader）. Praise the Lord! After about one and half years of pondering, prayers, waiting, and confirming, the Lord led me and my wife to a decision for me to start my full-time seminary training at Phoenix Seminary in January 2017. I finished my Master of Divinity study in May 2020 and immediately joined T4C in June 2020.

I was born and raised in Taiwan. I learned about the salvation of Jesus Christ since I was in the grade school and I received Jesus Christ as my personal savior at age of 15. But I was not very serious about the relationship with the Lord until the junior year in college. During the last year of my college life, I rededicated my life to Jesus Christ and wanted to serve Jesus full time.After finished my citizen's duty to my home country, I went on to teach biology in a junior high school in northern Taiwan. In 1974, I came to the United States to pursue my graduate degrees in California and Iowa, however, I realized that the degrees did not satisfy me afterward. I was wondering around to find out what is the purpose of my life during those years, not knowing that God has everything planned for me.When I was still a graduate student, I met my wife, Paochen, a wonderful girl and we got married in 1981 and then God blessed us with two precious daughters, Stephanie and Phyllis. I have tried different jobs during those first couple years after I finished graduate school, finally, God led me to a two-year training program and prepared me to work in the eye clinic as a technician. In 1993, I figured that God did not forget my rededication and counted me as worthy to be a fulltime minister in the ministry, so God began to let me know that it was about time to put down my job and serve Him. By the Fall of 1993, I started my seminary training at Bethel Seminary, and finished it with a Master of Divinity degree in 1997.After I graduated from seminary, I began to serve in the Twin City Chinese Christian Church as a full time interim minister, the church I have been a member for more than 23 years. In February 2001, I was ordained by T4C as a full time Pastor to serve Him and His church till now.

Pastor Mike Gin was born and raised in Chicago (and remains an avid Chicago sports fan). He received Christ as his personal savior after hearing a Sunday school story about Muscle Mike. He attended the University of Illinois at Urbana/Champaign, receiving BS degrees in Chemistry and Ecology, and the University of Wisconsin – Milwaukee, receiving a MS in Environmental Engineering. After working for 4 years at an environmental engineering consulting firm in the Washington DC metro area, the Lord called him to the ministry. He received his MDiv from Trinity Evangelical Divinity School in 2001 and has served as English Pastor of the Twin City Chinese Christian Church since then. He was ordained in 2003. He is happily married to Jeanne and tries to keep up with three active sons, Ethan (1999), Owen (2002) and Austin (2004).

Jody was raised in a Christian home and accepted Christ as her personal savior at a young age. She attended a Christian school and learned to serve God in church by helping in Sunday school during her junior and high school years. Jody attended Bob Jones University to pursue a cosmetology license in a Christian setting. In 1989, she was married to Mike and soon after the newlyweds visited T4C at the invitation of a college friend, Gaylord Tsuei. The Tellers settled into the community at T4C serving as Sunday school teachers and getting involved with small groups in the English ministry. Mike and Jody have raised and homeschooled their three children, Jacob, Emily and Jason. Upon beginning the homeschool journey with her family in 2003, Jody began a study plan of her own slowly working towards a degree in education. The opportunity to serve part time as Children's Ministry Director beginning in May 2015 is a culmination of Jody's passion to teach and to bring God's word to children. As Children’s Ministry Director Jody coordinates the children's Sunday school class teachers and curriculum, Boys and Girls Club during Friday night fellowship, and summer Vacation Bible School.

Tim grew up as a pastor’s kid, living in small towns in North Dakota as the oldest of five siblings. He accepted Christ as his savior at an early age and then felt called to vocational ministry while in high school. He pursued his bachelor’s degree in History from the University of North Dakota, spent a year volunteering in an impoverished region of the Appalachian Mountains, and then moved to the Twin Cities to marry his wife Jess and earn his Master’s of Divinity degree at Bethel Seminary. While Tim has always loved reading the Bible, Bethel helped Tim pursue his interest in reading it in its original languages of Greek and Hebrew. Tim and Jess enjoy being active outdoors through running and biking, and they also enjoy fostering kittens to help them find a good home. Tim also enjoys playing video games, reading, playing Settlers of Catan, playing racquetball and Frisbee golf, and spending time with family and friends whenever possible.
