What is your ministry?
Our church needs evangelical and practical knowledge in pastoral care and spiritual guidance. I hope to enrich myself in this and put it to good use with the students in the classroom, in the dormitory, and our church.
When did you trust Christ?
When I was 16, I joined a Christian scout group where the minister spoke extensively about Jesus and his calling. At that Bible study group, I decided that I would like to live with Jesus.
What have been the defining moments of your Christian walk?
I could mention a lot of moments. The most striking moments were when God called me to be a pastor, gave me a family, set me up, kept me in ministry, and strengthened me again and again in shepherding souls. I experienced the presence of God through all of this, which gave me spiritual direction.
What do you hope to gain from participating?
I want to meet colleagues working, researching, and teaching in similar fields. I look forward to exchanging experiences and hope we can enrich each other.
What is your leadership role or what were your past leadership roles?
I studied at the same university where I'm now a teacher. As a student, I led many small groups in our church for young people. I often helped the university's chaplain organise missions to help the students practice in Christian camps. When my children went to institutes, I began the PhD program here. At that time, I wrote books for religious education and became a teacher at the university. Next, at the university, I attended a church where I could minister with my talents.
Why should someone invest in your ministry?
Our church needs evangelical and practical knowledge in pastoral care and spiritual guidance. I hope to enrich myself in this and put it to good use with the students in the classroom, in the dormitory, and our church.
