Description

Ryun Chang (PhD, Fuller) has been in ministry since 1982 during which time he had the privilege of serving the Lord as pastor, teacher and missionary (Mexico). For the past ten years, he has been serving as the Teaching Pastor of Acts Ministries International (AMI), a consortium of pan-Asian churches in several states and East Asia. His published works are: "Manual de Misionología" (Editorial Continental, 2005); "Theologizing in the Radical Middle" (Wipf & Stock, 2018); contributor to "Reshaping of Mission in Latin America" (Regnum Books Int'l, 2015). Upon seeing how COVID is altering the mode through which people learn, he decided to record the many things the Lord has taught him over the years and share them with the larger audience. Thanks for tuning in. God bless.
