Sharing a list of Asian American Christian musicians and worship leaders here for people looking for good music, inspiration, role models (or event planning 😁).

Asian American Evangelicals and Race Matters
posted on
There’s a recent history of race matters for Asian Americans and evangelicals. American culture today is well-aware of how racism is alive and well, not just the overt offensive things but also systemic racism and racial insensitivities too. Grateful to be invited to speak this week in a class in the Asian American Ministry track of the Doctor of…
Starting to Write a Book about Multi-Asian Churches
posted on
I started working on a side project last September in a low-profile manner. I’m in process of writing a book that will be titled “MultiAsian.Church“— the title is set as is the website.

Making Easter Great Again in the OC
posted on
@ churchEaster is a great time to reflect on the meaning of life and the new start all of us can have, regardless of our regrets, pains, failures, setbacks, heartaches, hurts, habits, or hangups.

@ churchThere are some preachers don’t retire, even though it’s certainly well within one’s rights and privileges to do so. ICYMI, the full retirement age is now 67 here in the United States. The good thing about a timely retirement and a church leadership transition done well is how that can be a healthy thing for…

When a Pastor Leaves a Church for Unknown Reason
Some changes happen in the world of church leadership, that are more understandable, when it is a senior pastor retiring due to old age, or a lead pastor has decided to take a new ministry call by going to a different church in a different location. What’s shocking and disillusioning is when there’s a scandal…

Question: ”wanted to see if you had or knew of any resources that spoke on Asian American Discipleship. We’re working on a discipleship framework but I’m realizing that it is so “white.” So I’m looking for resources that would speak more into what “Asian American” discipleship looks like.” @djchuang answer: that’s a great question, and…

Why Planting New Churches for Millennials and the World is Vital
I’m en route to Tampa for the Exponential East 2015 church planting conference this week and have a few thoughts to share. This annual event, now bi-coastal and twice a year, has unarguably been instrumental in equipping and inspiring and mobilizing people and churches for the imminent future of churches in America and around the world.…
