Our organization YWAM Harbour City has been running a 6-month program called DTS (Discipleship Training School), even in the midst of the pandemic!

Anxiety can creep up on us even when we don’t notice it at all. It happens to me quite often. I’ll be emotionally doing well, I’ll be feeling calm, happy, and then suddenly, anxious thoughts can come into my mind.

In many ways, my design eye in Hong Kong has continued developing as I observe things around the city – advertisement from big agencies here is very clean and direct, yet other kinds of advertisement can be quite overwhelming with a lot of big typefaces and crazy layouts and color choices.

These three images were made for a local outreach to Indonesian women here in Hong Kong. Feel free to use and share to friends that speak Bahasa Indonesia!

A few friends have asked me how God can use careers, gifts, and talents – this has been my personal experience!

It’s taken me a while to update a new blog post, but today I just felt like writing about something. Honestly, the thought of staffing a DTS was a bit nerve-wrecking a couple of months ago. I know there’s a lot that goes on behind the scenes, and it’s not an easy role. Dedicating your life to walk with DTS students for half year is a BIG commitment. It’s not a 9 to 6 job, it’s much more than that.

I explored West Kowloon with a friend this weekend. We went all the way to a coffee shop called “Rest. Coffee. Gin”.

Crecí con una mezcla de tres culturas y en un rato les compartiré algunas anecdotas. Si eres un asiatico latino, puede ser que te relaciones con esto.

Understanding the history of Hong Kong and China has really opened my eyes new things from the culture I was raised in at home.

I’ve come to realize lately, the way I was “spending time” with Him had grown very superficial and rushed. It came to a point (literally a couple days ago) that I had to stop myself and reflect on what I was feeling about when I would spend time with Jesus. I needed to admit that I was in a dry season even though I’ve been serving full-time this whole year.

Sharing my life story - Family history, my first cross-cultural experience and passion for missions!

It’s been ONE whole year since I moved to Hong Kong and God has been teaching me incredible things in my time here. This special post is a bit longer than what I usually write! Thank you for taking time to read this blog post where I will share some testimonies, challenges, praise reports and prayer requests.

These 5 things are based on what I’ve learned personally but I wanted to share it, if it’s helpful to those who are planning to do short-term or long-term missions, or just traveling to new places in general.

In this day and age, we really need all these types of friends in our lives. It’s so important to have community around us. Some might think, “I have my phone, my online friends, it’s enough for me” or “I really don’t trust anybody” or even “everyone is my friend!” – it’s essential to wisely seek for true friendships that will walk alongside us no matter what season we are in.

“When was the last pandemic?” The first thing I googled during the time COVID-19 was all over the news. Is it like a zombie apocalypse or what? Media already has a lot about the virus, but what has it taught me?

As I’m waiting for the 968 bus that takes me back to Yuen Long, the title of this blog post “A Forced Pause?” was the first thing on my mind. “Corona…” nah. Okay, it was the second thing on my mind. I still have around 12 minutes until the bus comes.

Can’t believe it has been 5 months since I moved to Hong Kong. It’s been a couple months of growth, facing challenges, transitioning, making Hong Kong my home. I’ll just show you my highlights of all these 5 months!

The heart of the following days was to encourage, lift up the church and share testimonies of God’s faithfulness. When the whole nation is facing shortages of electricity, water, food, many economic difficulties, it’s easy to give up.

Sometimes it can be hard to wait. But waiting doesn’t mean you sit back and do nothing. Honestly, I’ve had days where I’ve just been at home resting. The time as I wait for the next transition is important, but it’s also important to be intentional in the present.
