About
I am a missionary, pastor, and Bible teacher, with a deep passion for global mission and the Word of God. I have four years of experience in campus ministry and church planting in mainland China, where I co-planted six churches and shared the Gospel with thousands of youths. Over the past 15+ years, I've engaged in cross-cultural missions in Sydney and Melbourne. I currently oversee mission work in six countries in Oceania at the denominational HQ in north NSW.
I am the wife of a faithful and humble husband - a pastor who serves in the business-as-mission field and supports many. We have five kids. I strongly believe that family plays a vital role in fulfilling God's commission — increasing in number physically and spiritually- through nurturing children and teaching people the Gospel of Jesus.
Since last year, God has called me to focus on establishing seminaries to train and equip Christian leaders for the Great Commission through more formal theological education.

Why OTS?
OTS is a seminary dedicated to mission, where missionaries are educated to deepen their understanding of Scripture and equipped to better fulfill the Great Commission. Students are trained to serve as mission workers, whether on the frontlines of direct mission or in supportive, indirect roles. Their passion and gifts are not just utilized but elevated with the united purpose of advancing the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Located in Australia, OTS offers an English-speaking platform, academic freedom, and a cross-cultural environment that shapes students into missionaries prepared for contemporary global mission.
