English Young Adults Pastor 周健能 英語部青年事工牧師
About Pastor Dana
"From menace to minister" is a good summary of what God did in my life through Jesus Christ. The rest is to convince you I had a part in this miracle: Dana graduated from UC Davis and worked in the bio-tech industry. Before serving as Young Adult Pastor at Bay Area Chinese Bible Church, he served with Asian American Christian Fellowship, and as pastor at Marin Asian Community Church. Dana graduated from Golden Gate Baptist Theological Seminary. A truth Dana holds dear: “If God can love me, He can love anybody. If God can use me, he can use anybody." |
