I was born in Taiwan and attended Christian schools from junior high school to college. However, it was not until I came to American Graduate School that I received the Holy Spirit and believed in the Lord and was saved.
For the past thirty years, I have served in the marketing department of Texas and California government agencies, but I always have God’s great commission in heart – to bring the gospel to the ends of the earth.
By participating in a short-term mission trip to Egypt in February 2024, I gained a better understanding and was convinced of the quality of SOWIM multimedia Bible teaching materials and how these help the spiritual growth of readers/viewers.
Just after finishing my short-term mission in Egypt, I learned that SOWIM was looking for staff. After many prayers, I decided to join SOWIM to help more people have access to spiritual food and seeds, and together to fulfill God’s Great Commission.

Lily Lin
I am a member who joined SOWIM in 2022. I love life, have a wide range of interests, am enthusiastic about helping others, and like to learn new things.
Although I am not a Christian, the pastor selflessly accepted me and gave me a chance. It was my first time to come into contact with a Christian organization like SOWIM. I was very excited. All the ministries were so friendly. Everyone has extended a hand of friendship to me and given me the opportunity to be a part of SOWIM, and I feel so honored and excited to be able to grow with SOWIM and really allow me to grow from my work. Working in SOWIM made me realize that there is no commercial atmosphere and no intrigue working environment. What I learned was a calm and comfortable environment, very nice, grateful.

Angel graduated from Taiwan Theological Seminary with a master’s degree in Taoism and the Department of Sociology of Tunghai University. She likes thinking and understanding and has aplanning personality, but she finds that life is actually an adventure and is always not in the plan.
It is God who gives us the testimony that “all things work together for good to those who love God and are called according to his purpose.” She hopes to know herself on the basis of knowing God, to think about others with Christ as the center, to learn to recognize where the world needs the gospel, to be grasped by God’s words, and to live out the meaning of creation.
