3rd Asian American Equipping Symposium

Posted by socal on Jan 10, 2012 in announcement, events, Featured | 7 comments

March 19-20, 2012; At Fuller Seminary (Pasadena, California)

The third Asian American Equipping Symposium will address the crucial yet often overlooked issue of Asian American family systems.  To bring “healing of memories,” several concerns will be dealt with during this symposium.  Both external and internal push and pull factors inflict conflict and wounds.  The external factors include immigration, worldview conflict, and cultural dislocation.  The internal factors include lopsided power dynamics in family relationships: between husband and wife and between parents and children.  Yet, the essential needs of healing for families and churches are hijacked by exhausting tasks and demands for numerical “success” in ministry.  Therefore, the objective of the third AAES is to create space for healing by uncovering wounded memories to re-member them.  Program includes understanding the impact of traditional Asian traditional values on family systems and the conflicts between eastern and western values.  Workshops, facilitated by experienced Asian American therapists, will serve as an integral component in personal healing of ministry leaders.

2011 ISAAC East Interns

Posted by admin on Sep 14, 2011 in Featured | Comments Off

Thanks to the Fund for Theological Education,  ISAAC East Internship program has been in full operational mode again this summer!  The interns for this year are all serving in New Jersey.  As pictured left to right, David Cheng (Maranatha Grace Church, Ft. Lee), Preston Chang and Sebastian Yip (both at Chinese Christian Church of New Jersey, Parsippany).   (Jason Lee, one of our 2009 interns joined us also for this picture!  He is the second to the left.)

David is a graduate of UC Berkeley and was attending Law School at Columbia University.  He has sensed a higher call and has enrolled at Westminster Theological Seminary for the fall.  David is assisting in all aspects of pastoral ministry this summer.  His home church while growing up was the Chinese Baptist Church of Orange County.

Preston will be a senior at Rutgers University majoring in engineering.  This has been a summer of exploration for him as he serves in his home church.  He is actively involved with Campus Crusade at Rutgers.

Sebastian will be in his second year of seminary studies at Moody Theological Seminary and Graduate School in Chicago.  He attended CCCNJ before his family relocated to the west coast when he was in his early teens.  Sebastian graduated from UCLA before attending Moody.   He returned to New Jersey this summer to serve at CCCNJ.
