Starlight Ministry director
I am the Ministry Director of Starlight, Ellerslie's Mandarin congregation. I was born in a traditional big family in northern China. In university, I studied financial market management and became a manager after graduation. I have always been seeking truth and the meaning of my life.
In 2004, my family immigrated to Canada, and we went to a church on Sunday. The Holy Spirit greatly touched me and I immediately accepted Jesus. The Lord led me in a completely different direction as I become a mother of three children and worked as a homemaker for 12 years. In 2016, I studied theology at Ambrose University because I wanted to serve the Lord with my best for the rest of my life. My greatest passion is to share the good news of Jesus anywhere and at any time. I enjoy hiking with family and friends.
"Then your light will break forth like the dawn, and your healing will quickly appear; then your righteousness will go before you, and the glory of the Lord will be your rear guard. Then you will call, and the Lord will answer; you will cry for help, and he will say: Here am I."
Isaiah 58:8-9
