Kenneth Tong and Irene Tong are a husband and wife team who are training and equipping our youth to become disciples of Jesus Christ. After graduating and working for several years, Irene (UC Berkeley, BA Psychology) and Kenneth (UC Berkeley, BA Molecular and Cellular Biology) are excited about sharing what they have learned while serving youths for the past five years.
"Our vision is to equip local Christian youth and raise them to become Biblically-minded Christ-followers, so that as they enter college and beyond, they will be armed with the ability to defend their faith and be able to make a positive impact in the lives of the people around them. Furthermore, we hope that as we train and equip our youth, they will, in turn, become servants and a blessing to their home churches."

Something you wish you knew or experienced when you were a youth: I wish I had known that Christian life was more than do’s and don’ts - on that note, I also wish that I had known the Bible more comprehensively to really understand the heart of God.
