BIO

Several times in my childhood, the Lord met me in ways that profoundly marked my life. As I look back, I am deeply grateful for His faithful pursuit of me. I grew up in a family that valued both faith and service. My father was a cardiologist and church planter whose life of faith and friendship deeply impacted me. My grandfather served as a medical missionary in Kenya in the 1950s, and my great-grandfather was an itinerant preacher. Yet, despite this strong spiritual heritage, there were also broken areas within our family that shaped my journey.

In 2008, I entered youth ministry. Shortly after, I encountered significant personal struggles, including generational issues and deep internal battles that threatened both my productivity and my well-being. During this time, the Lord began to meet me through listening prayer with trusted friends. As we sat with the Holy Spirit, He brought healing, identity, and understanding through impressions, pictures, and Scripture. These encounter-based prayer times became foundational in my walk with Him.

As God worked in my life, we began seeing Him move powerfully among the youth I was serving. Students experienced freedom, renewed passion for Jesus, and hunger for prayer and worship. We spent extended hours in worship, practiced listening prayer, and studied Jesus’ teachings—especially the Sermon on the Mount. Many encountered the Lord personally as we created space for Him to move.

In 2011, the Lord called me to step away from pastoral ministry and devote myself more fully to prayer and training. I moved to Kansas City to pursue this calling, where I met my wife, Joannie. We quickly connected through a shared passion for prayer, discipleship, and the nations.

In 2012, through a series of events, the Lord revealed that I was an SRA/DID survivor from abuse that had occurred early in my childhood. This discovery helped make sense of many experiences I had struggled to understand. The Lord brought key friendships and healing ministries alongside me, including Restoration in Christ Ministries and Seek First Ministries. Through years of prayer counseling, listening prayer, and community, Jesus brought increasing wholeness and integration in my life. During this season, He also helped me grow into marriage, family life, and greater stability as more parts of my life came into alignment with His design.

Around 2020, this focused season of healing began to transition. Through what the Lord had done in me, He began highlighting a deep need in the Body of Christ: heart-focused discipleship. Many believers were active in ministry yet lacked emotional maturity, relational resilience, and deep security in God’s love. My wife and I sensed a call not only to train people in worship and sound biblical teaching, but also to help them grow in wholeness through listening prayer, spiritual warfare, inner healing, and internal synchronization as they meet with Jesus.

We long to see people built up—not only ministries running. Our desire is to see workers for Jesus who are joyful, resilient, mature, and confident in how deeply God loves them. Out of this vision, we launched Flourish Online School, which now serves Chinese-speaking individuals and communities across Asia. Through heart-focused discipleship, listening prayer, and leadership development, we help believers grow in spiritual and emotional maturity so they can sustain lifelong ministry rooted in intimacy with Jesus.

Today, from Taiwan and across Asia, we continue to serve the Body of Christ—equipping individuals and communities to flourish in love, maturity, and wholehearted devotion to Jesus.
