Full-Time Chinese College Minister

Background:

God has placed ACC in the vicinity of a few college campuses including but not limited to UT Arlington, Dallas Baptist University, and Texas Christian University. ACC originally started from the college student ministry and will continue to be used by God to preach the gospel and make disciples among the Chinese college students. In 2021, the UTA Chinese student ministry was restarted. As pandemic is gradually over, we expect that UTA student ministry will grow as more Chinese students come back to American colleges.
