Asian American Pastor? Need your wisdom.

Are you an Asian American pastor, or know of one? Get $10 for filling out a quick survey*, and help with this research project. You can pass it along too, or better, link to the permalink here.

Greetings!

I am a professor at Talbot School of Theology of Biola University in La Mirada, California.

As one of my long-range research projects, I am studying the life and ministry of Asian American pastors, in particular the primary factors that contribute to clergy wellness and longevity in ministry.

I invite you to participate in the research by filling out a 20 minute on-line questionnaire, which is found at www.surveymonkey.com/s.asp?u=634181317291

Your password is: church

The information you provide will be kept confidential. ~The majority of the questions ask you to respond to a statement stating how strongly you agree or disagree. Also, at the end of the questionnaire, you will have the opportunity to provide some written comments.

If you have any questions about the research project, please write to AsianAmericanStudies@Biola.edu .

Thank you in advance for your invaluable collaboration.

In Christ,
Jonathan

P.S. * As an incentive, the first 70 people who fill it out will be given a $10 gift certificate to either Christianbook.com or Starbucks! The only qualification is that you are serving in an English speaking ministry where the majority of attenders are of Asian-American descent. After filling out the survey e-mail me back so that I can facilitate the gift certificate redeeming process.
