It is my dream to study in US to become a nurse. I started to apply and have already been accept to a nursing program in the US. I graduated in 1990 from the National Taiwan University in Taipei Taiwan in 1990 with a Bachelor of Science in nursing and worked in Cathay Hospital, Taiwan, for about 8 months in the neurosurgical department.

In 1991, I felt called to do mission work in Asia. The following year, I joined full time service with Malaysia Campus Crusade for Christ and was sent to be trained for a year at Taiwan Great Commission Training Center. Thereafter, I flew back to Malaysia to start ministry. I served among the campus students training them in discipleship and making a difference in their sphere of influence from 1992 to 2000. I also helped in starting a faculty ministry serving among the lecturers on campus alongside with the campus ministry and leading several mission trips to rural areas in underdeveloped countries in South East Asia. In 2000, I went to Philippines to do theological study and I obtained Master of Divinity from the International School of Theology-Asia, Quezon City in 2003.

In 2014, I resigned from the mission organization after serving on mission field for more than 20 years due to a physical ailment. After resting for about a year, I found my current teaching job as a teacher in a church school in my hometown in Malaysia where I now teach Bible Knowledge and English to grade 7-11 students since 2014.   A lot has changed since I left the nursing field 30 years ago to serve on mission field and I feel it is imperative to return to a university nursing program to become current in the nursing science. The reason I want to finish my career in nursing is that I can make a difference in people’s lives by giving health care to them. I used to be sickly when I was young and can understand how those who have, or have had, physical ailments feel about themselves and life. I am sensitive to those who are frail and vulnerable. However, being compassionate and helpful is not enough. I need to be re-qualified and become current in nursing practices so that I can have a positive impact providing compassion, comfort, and care for patients.  Nursing school will equip me to be a better nurse for a greater purpose to care for those who are in their time of need.

Spending majority of my life serving in missions and working as a teacher has been rich in seeing many changed lives but not so much financially for me. So, I have little savings to draw from for this journey.

The total amount needed will be $105,000. This will cover tuition, travel, health insurance, living expenses, books, and so forth. I will enter the starting class in the fall of 2021 and need to have the amount raised by the spring of 2021. I covet your daily prayers for me, and, any ways you might be able to provide financial support. Your generous support will make a difference not only in my life but also in the lives of many others who will be under my care.
