About Speakers:
Pastor Edwin Lin:
Edwin was born in Singapore, but moved to the US when he was only 5 years old. It was not until his freshman year of high school that he turned to Jesus Christ, realizing that Jesus was the only solid foundation that he could build his life around. Although his parents were the ones to bring him to church, they stopped going because of personal conflicts. Edwin continued to pursue a relationship with God in college, where God grew him through leadership experiences with Campus Crusade for Christ. In 2014, Edwin completed his PhD in sociology from the University of California, Berkeley and is now teaching there as a lecturer. He is currently working as a part-time pastor at Breakaway Christian Fellowship and is attending Western Seminary.
