\n(604) 874-7612 ext. 12[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”3\/4″][vc_column_text]Called of God to serve the Mandarin-speaking community, Leo left his job in 2015 and began his theological education with his wife Jenny. Having originally met while studying computer science together at the Shanghai University, both husband and wife went on to graduate from the Chinese School of Theology on the same day!<\/p>\n

At VCAC, Pastor Leo exercises his gifting in preaching, teaching, evangelism and marriage ministry, all of which are his passions. Pastor Leo leads the development of the relatively young ministry at VCAC, where both he and Jenny focus on building strong marriages, founded on biblical principles, resulting in an emotionally-healthy church family. This is accomplished by equipping married couples through marriage enrichment programs and associated camps.<\/p>\n

In addition to accompanying his singing by playing his guitar, Pastor Leo is a voracious reader and an enthusiastic participant in a variety of sports. When he is not preparing his weekly sermons, Pastor Leo enjoys helping new immigrants find salvation in Christ and settle into their new home in Vancouver. Leo and Jenny have two children, an adult son and a teenage daughter. He holds a Master of Divinity degree from the Chinese School of Theology.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][\/vc_section]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
