For those criticizing @JacksonWu4China for his pseudonym: I have gotten to know him.
He is not intending to mock anyone or gain an unfair advantage. I hope you will learn his story, research, and dedication to serve the church. He is primarily a brother in Christ.
"As Asian American campus ministries, we feel there is a distinct part to play to heal our nation, advocate for the underprivileged, and bring God’s justice and salvation through Jesus to all." @TheSolaNetwork

My latest article at @TheSolaNetwork.

"This is what it looks like to sow peace. It’s being in the tension, in the pain. And you can��t be in it without being in the neighborhood...

Not all Asians are the same. We may have some similarities, but we are different.
Example: Rice is central to both Japanese & Korean diets. But, it is a sign of respect to the Japanese to have a little rice leftover. With Koreans, to leave even a grain of rice is disrespectful.

My new piece at @TGC:
The Forgotten Figure in the Nativity Scene
"Joseph was qualified to be the earthly father of Jesus because of his family. But it’s more than just his family that makes Joseph a character worth remembering. It’s also his faith." https://t.co/gNk5TDKgU1
