About

A Chinese diaspora in the U.S.

I came to the United States from Taiwan for higher education years ago. Through my doctoral study with Dr. Enoch Wan at Western Seminary and glocal missions experiences, I have learned how relational realism will first transform the hearts and heads of Christian workers, and then their hands for ministry. Therefore, I set up this site in hope to collect relational realism focused research papers and stories for all the implications and applications of relational realism in Christian ministry as a one-stop shop resource center for researchers and practitioners. A heartfelt thank you to Dr. Wan and all contributors.

Dissertation

My dissertation, “A Phenomenological Study of An Intercultural Outreach Training Program for Multi-ethnic Community Outreach Workers in Cupertino and Sunnyvale, California,” is an interdisciplinary and integrative study of intercultural training for glocal/diaspora missions. It is to bridge the research gap by interviewing seven trainees who have attended a three-year intercultural outreach training program in Cupertino regularly between 2016 to 2018 for at least one year to think about their lived training experience. The seven trainees were divided into two groups by whether or not they are involved in multi-ethnic community outreach after the training to evaluate the training outcome, compare the differences of their contextual features, reflect, and then to derive missiological implications with suggestions for future study.
