Eric Chang has been serving the Youth Ministry of Cincinnati Chinese Church for the past 4 years. He's not married, but he's dating (er-assuming all went well the past 3 months). His desire is for the grace of Jesus Christ to penetrate not only his own life but also the lives of his youth, their parents, and the rest of the church by trusting in who are in Christ as God's children. Eric is currently pursuing his Masters of Divinity from Trinity Evangelical Divinity School, which really means nothing in the grand scheme of themes but wishes to continue pastoring whomever, wherever, and however God calls him. The greatest things Eric has learned about himself in the past 4 years are: his greatest continual joy is to see the Spirit make His Word come alive in the lives of others; his greatest continual sorrow is watching and knowing of others fallen or falling deep into sin, despair, and hopelessness; and his greatest hope for all of us is Jesus' saving grace.
