I started at Dallas Theological Seminary back in 2011 with the sole purpose of joining the missionary organization OMF International.  Though I started off as a part-time certificate student, after having conversations with my church pastors, I reclassified as a MA Cross-Cultural Ministry student. While it took me longer to finish, in retrospect, I learned so much from my classes and my classmates.  It was time well spent.

​

As I near the finish line of my MACM and time at DTS, it is awesome to reflect on what God has done in guiding me and encouraging me along the way.  I distinctly remember telling one of my first friend, Titus B., at DTS in our 1st class, BE 101, how I don't feel like I belong at DTS.  He would tell me how if God didn't want me at DTS, then I won't be at DTS.  To hear his encouragement meant a lot to me.  Everyone is just so brilliant and godly while I am as unpolished as they come.  Maybe that is just it...  God sees the treasure that I could not see in myself.  I really thank God for the people he has put in my path during my time at DTS.

​

With my MACM in hand as an OMF appointee, my family is currently in the partnership development phase.  Lord willing, come July 2018 our support level will be at 100% and we will be on our way to our mission field in Germany to serve with OMF Chinese Diaspora Returnee Ministry.  There is a sizable Chinese student population in Germany, to the tune of roughly 30,000 per year heading to study in Germany.  This is a great opportunity to share Christ with them.  However, with so few workers heading to Germany serving the Chinese population, the opportunity often time slip away.  I plan on using all of what I learned during my studies, internship and service at my home church in reaching the Chinese population in Germany with the Word of God.  I was blessed and now, I want to do the same with others.
