While studying in the US, he was inspired by the Holy Spirit and accepted the Lord as his savior. He began to serve in the church and participated in various missionary teams. His original career was in IT management, but in 2014 he was called by God to engage in missionary ministry, so he quit his IT job and entered Logos Evangelical Seminary to receive further theological education.In August 2014, ISIS started wreaking havoc on innocent civilians in the Middle East, resulting in many refugees. Therefore, Minister Chen and his wife began to participate in a medical missionary team in Northern Iraq to rescue refugees in 2016. Then, after graduating from the seminary, he and his wife used teaching at a local university as a platform to enter Northern Iraq and engage in long-term missionary work on campus and for refugees. When the COVID-19 epidemic began to spread in 2020, Minister Chen and his wife temporarily returned to Los Angeles and continued their missionary work in Northern Iraq via online, from which, they continuous contacted with local students and refugees, and mentored other Chinese missionaries in the area as well. In 2022, Minister Chen was inspired by God and wrote a “Muslim Ministry Manual” specially written for Muslim missionaries, hoping to help missionaries called by God to engage in Muslim missions from a practical perspective.In January 2024, Minister Chen accepted the offer from the president of Logos Evangelical Seminary and officially joined the seminary as the Director of the Advancement. He will be responsible for the outreaching and advancement of business development of the seminary, including fund raising, partnership with pastoral leaders of various churches, establishing relationships with leaders of various Christian organizations, as well as student recruitments. To him, this is more a mission assigned to him by God than a job offered by the institute.
