Justin Yau was raised in the community of Chinese Christian Union Church (CCUC), where he actively participated in various ministries that shaped his spiritual journey.

He is passionate about helping others discover their gifts and engage in service to others. He loves meeting with people, building relationships, and guiding them through spiritual growth. In his free time, Justin enjoys reading, cooking, and thrifting.
