PastoraLab NE/SE 2023 Cohorts

October 10, 2022

PastoraLab NE/SE is germinated after two years of ministry lab experiments with three cohorts, two on the west coast since 2021, and one online since April 2022. PastoraLab is fully funded by Lily Endowment to empower Asian American women ministers who are engaged in ministry in various capacities to strive and seek equality on pulpits. This is the first nationwide program designed to support Asian American women in ministry, and create platforms to bring women from academia, church, and community together.

We are excited to announce and launch NE/SE cohort as ISAAC values multi-talented, diverse, and gifted women across the country. Two co-facilitators, Florence Li and Sue Kim Park are thrilled to co-facilitate this new online cohort, NE/SE (2023-2024).
