With the deaths, violence, brutality, and destruction of property, it is hard to see an end to all the chaos in the city […]
“It’s Never Too Late” – HMCC-HK 2018 Baptism
It was an emotional baptism. The stories of transformation were powerful. I left the baptism celebration with an overwhelming sense of gratitude. The realization that this was our 8th baptism celebration in our short 3.5 year history as a church reminded me that it is truly the work of God to take a […]
UK Missions Project 2018
This coming December, during the Christmas holiday, a small team of fluent Mandarin speakers in HMCC-HK and I will be heading out to the United Kingdom to participate in God’s mission. I have been invited as a guest speaker for the youth program at a family camp for Chinese people, who either immigrated to […]
Reflections on China Trip – 2018 October
For four days, I went to China with three other people to help teach on the topic of discipleship with our ALIVE Curriculum. It was an incredible trip filled with lots of praises and “God-moments.” I had some time to reflect on the things that God was doing in China and some convictions that God […]

The Father’s Heart for Orphans
My wife, Christina, keeps reminding me, “As we get older, we should be more unselfish, more humble and more loving.” In theory, this makes a lot of sense. But in reality, it is a whole different issue altogether. As we get older, we should realize more of our sinfulness. As we get […]
#youmatter Movement
Throughout history, whenever a need arises, the people who take action are the ones who transform the world. Instead of idly standing by, they decide to do something. Their actions, often times, stem from a conviction or a burden. They count the cost and take steps of faith in order to make a difference. […]
Suicides in Hong Kong
It has been over a year since I wrote anything on my blog (sorry); but recently, with various things going on in Hong Kong, I felt compelled to write and share some things that are on my heart. In the last seven months, there have been 24 suicides committed by young people in […]
God Can Use Our Past
I’m always inspired when I hear about God using a person’s messed-up past to advance His mission. We have to remember that God never makes mistakes. Even through some of our deepest pains and trials, God can use it somehow for His glory. The best part of God’s creative work in redemption is that […]
Forever Family
It is interesting how the Apostle Paul uses the illustration of adoption when he describes our relationship with God, our Father (Eph 1:3-14). There is something very powerful about knowing that you are chosen and loved unconditionally. This is part of the core of the Gospel message. Sometimes through an earthly adoption, people are […]
Superheroes + Kids = Win
I realized that it doesn’t take much to see a child laugh or smile . It brings great joy to anyone who see the sense of wonder in a child’s eyes. This is why when people are willing to go out of their way to make kids happy, it makes me smile. I pray […]
Like A Girl
After having a daughter, I have become more sensitive and tuned into how girls are treated in our society, especially in the Church. It is amazing to see how a girl’s self-esteem is shaped by their relationship with their father. It is my hope and prayer that Karissa (a.k.a. KiKi) will grow up believing […]
Gloriously Ruined
I do quite a bit of counseling throughout the week. I guess it comes with the calling of a shepherd (pastor). After many hours of listening and talking, I have come to the realization that a lot of things come down to perspective. If a person is able to gain God’s perspective in the […]
The Father’s Protection
When you see a father so passionate about protecting his daughter, it reminds you of how love and security play an important role in a relationship. As I watched this video, I couldn’t help but to resonate with this father as I thought about my daughter. Then, I thought about God’s love and protection […]
