Siang-Yang Tan,
“I know the founder of GoLiveServe as a personal friend and have deeply appreciated him and the work and strategic ministry that has developed over the years. It is a leading and significant ministry, especially for tentmaking professionals and students, and short-term service teams. May God continue to richly bless many lives through the ministry of GoLiveServe!” — Siang-Yang Tan, Senior Pastor, First Evangelical Church Glendale, and Professor of Psychology, Fuller Theological Seminary
Paul E Pierson
“The Holy Spirit is constantly showing His creativity in new forms of mission in our changing world today. GoLiveServe is an excellent example. It goes to the heart of the Christian calling to use all of the gifts and training we have received to serve the mission of Jesus Christ. In many ways it does exactly what St. Paul did, except that these ‘tentmakers’ have skills that he would never have dreamed of. I strongly endorse it.”
— Paul E Pierson, Dean Emeritus, School of Intercultural Studies, Fuller Theological Seminary
Donna Dong
“I have known the founder of GoLiveServe since our student days and even then saw the passion for God and His global purposes, the depth of strategic thinking and the high quality leadership and pastoral care that he has brought to the formation of GoLiveServe. I trust GoLiveServe to provide the training and team support that enable professionals to follow hard after Jesus to serve.”
— Donna Dong, Multi-Ethnic/Multicultural Ministry Director, Inter-Varsity Christian Fellowship of Canada
Wee Hian Chua
“At the 2015 spring retreat of GoLiveServe, my wife and I had the honor of speaking and ministering to their associates serving in East Asia. We were deeply impressed by their commitment and the vital contributions that they were making in the professional and educational world of China. Their stories of God’s love impacting the lives of those they serve left an indelible mark in our hearts. When we sow into GoLiveServe, we know their efforts will yield a tremendous harvest.”
— Wee Hian Chua, Senior Pastor of Emmanuel Evangelical Church London & former General Secretary of International Fellowship of Evangelical Students (1972-1991)
The late Rev. Thomas Wang
“We praise the Lord for the ministry of GoLiveServe. Its three-fold motto “Go where you are needed, live fully in Christ and serve to make a difference” should truly be the aspiration of all mission-minded Christians and churches of the world! ”
— The late Rev. Thomas Wang, President Emeritus, Great Commission Center International
Fred Wagner
“GLS is able to not only mobilize and equip, but strategically dispatch people with a heart for joining God’s work in that part of the world. The staff team is equally skilled and experienced. GoLiveServe ought to be on the sending agency “short list” of all tentmaking professionals, summer abroad students, and churches with short-term service teams.”
— Fred Wagner, 1994-2010 China Global Projects Coordinator for InterVarsity Christian Fellowship
The late James H. Taylor III
“We celebrate God’s marvelous grace and blessing on your strategic ministry over 20 years. What a joy it is to see the growth of the work in China and beyond. It has been especially thrilling to see the mobilization of deeply dedicated and highly trained young people coming forward from Chinese churches in North America.”
— The late James H. Taylor III, great grandson of Hudson Taylor, at our 20th anniversary
Aaron, Product Manager
“Because of the media, we tend to think of going to Muslim countries as a risky proposition. But in the country we visited? Not so. Knowing that we came from America, the entrepreneurs we met basically assumed we would be Christian. And because we were volunteering our services, they welcomed us from the start. They were very hospitable and open. ”
— Aaron, Product Manager
Sarah, Marketing Professional
“Cross-cultural outreach built around business consulting provides common ground for bonding with Muslim professionals without either of us raising our guard. It’s wonderful. Back home, it is easy to talk to neighbors and co-workers about going on a trip to help startups in a developing country. Their eyes would light up immediately, and we can share more.”
— Sarah, Marketing Professional
Eric, Software Engineer
“This mission trip was different than any before. I actually got to use what I know and do in my professional life to bless others. It’s exciting. My work and my ministry came together in a holistic way. I could love people by sharing my IT skills and knowledge. I could guide them, counsel and encourage them, and give people hope.”
— Eric, Software Engineer
Tim, Technical Product Leader
“I found the local entrepreneurs to be bright and engaging people, super eager to learn. Several participants and volunteers asked why we took vacation and paid our way to be there. We shared that we are Christians, and had the opportunity to explain what was important in our lives.”
— Tim, Technical Product Leader
