We are Yao and Lin, a Chinese couple with two children. Our journey began with a trip to Israel in 2018, where God planted a vision in our hearts. After returning home, we sensed the Holy Spirit calling us to the United States. While in America, God spoke the words, “Be a bridge.” In obedience to that calling, we sold our business and property, relocated our family to California, and began theological and ministry training, seeking to connect people, cultures, and generations through Christ.
We each completed graduate theological training, earning a Master of Christian Studies and a Master of practical ministry. During our time in Silicon Valley, we helped establish a young adult fellowship and online ministries within a Chinese church, serving and equipping believers across different generations and backgrounds.
God led us to Bethel in Redding, where we received training through BSSM. He has called us to host Chinese families and students, and to connect revivalists from different nations. Today, we host a local Chinese fellowship every week and welcome Chinese visitors who come to Redding, helping everyone feel that they have a home in Redding.
