Coming to college I had a minimal understanding of Christianity. I was set on making something of myself and determined to succeed, thinking a stable and successful career was the answer to happiness. But through some friends of friends, I went to church and realized it was way more than mere fairy-tale-like stories. I was amazed by the intellectual and historical basis for Christianity and intrigued by the way people lived out their faith in community. Through relational conflicts I came to understand myself as a sinner and my need for the gospel and became a Christian. Given how set I was on my path in life, it’s a miracle how God intervened and changed the trajectory of my life. After becoming Christian, I served in our college ministry bi-vocationally, working full-time as a project manager and doing ministry at UC Berkeley, my alma mater. Later, we moved to lead our San Diego church with our three daughters. It’s been a great adventure and I’ve never looked back.
