What’s been your journey to ECS and why did you join ECS?
I became a Christian while studying law at the University of Hong Kong and fellowshipped in a local church, where I grew in faith and understanding of God. After training and working in a commercial law firm in Hong Kong for a few years, I took a career break with my husband to study at Dallas Theological Seminary to be better equipped for ministry. Subsequently, we moved to Oxford, where my husband is pursuing further education in New Testament Studies, and I began the process of qualifying in England and Wales.
I was drawn to ECS because of its mission to help churches and Christian organisations advance the gospel and remain Christ-centred in its work. After learning more about the team, I inquired about vacancies and applied.

What are you most excited about your work here?
-
I’m grateful for the opportunity to use my legal training to serve churches and Christian organisations. I’m excited to walk alongside them as they seek to live out their missions to advance God’s kingdom faithfully. It’s a privilege to witness God’s providence at work in these ministries and to support them in practical ways and in prayer.

What can we be praying for you as you start?
-
Please pray that I would settle in well and adjust to the new role, especially as charity law is a new area for me.
