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.
