Slow but Steady Wins the Race

Most of you are probably familiar with the story about the tortoise and the hare. Lately, I’ve been realizing how applicable this children’s story can be even as an adult. Launching college ministries take time. And sometimes, slow and steady wins the race. On my team, one of the things we discuss is that we need […]

Transform 2014

I know it’s been a few months, but back in January we had about 200 students, staff, and volunteers attend Transform–the Epic Movement East Coast Conference in Morristown, NJ. We heard from two great speakers: Pastor Kenji Adachi from Ambassador Bible Church in VA, and Leila Wong who is on staff with Epic in Orange […]

Just Apply!

I originally began this school year not intending to do summer project at all – not during this summer, and very possibly not any summers. I did my best to plan out my life: study for the LSAT this summer, spend the next summer in Washington, D.C., and then either job hunting or law […]

Cross-cultural Ministry after Cultures are Crossed

Which one in the picture below is crossing cultures? Trick question: We all are. — “Mom, dad, can I keep going to this church?” My twelve-year-old self asked eagerly. “The Chinese church? Isn’t it awkward?” “Nah! It’s actually not!” And that was that. So on Sundays, my eyes were now fixated on the front of […]

Feeding the Campus

This year Saddleback Church has shown interest in partnering with the Epic Movement. It’s definitely exciting to see this develop as Saddleback has many church plants located in California as well as abroad in countries like Hong Kong. We are blessed to have this opportunity to partner with them and we recently had our first […]

The Love UH 28 Project

“This is how we know what love is: Jesus Christ laid down his life for us. And we ought to lay down our lives for our brothers. If anyone has material possessions and sees his brother in need but has no pity on him, how can the love of God be in him? Dear children, […]

What are You Made for?

Standing on a brightly lit stage—sweating because the lights really are incredibly powerful—asking the audience for a one-word suggestion for the 30-something minute improv show we’re about to perform… I’ll never forget that sensation. There’s nervousness, excitement, frenetic energy that I’m trying to shake off in my legs before the show starts. And there’s a […]

A Wild Ride and a Sweet Adventure

The past two months being back on campus have been just that. I can’t deny that my relationship with Jesus has been both the hardest and sweetest aspect of my life with lessons being learned, truths being taught, and joy being experienced since I’ve started interning. Recently, I’ve been walking through a season of relearning the […]

East Coast Conference: Day of Outreach

I vividly remember meeting Clara for the first time last Spring: there was a sadness in her eyes. She opened up about her recent transfer to Queens College, her uncertainty about her future, the pressures that her mom placed on her and her openness to Christianity. Fast–‐forward ten months. Clara is stepping on the […]
