He grew up quite literally in this church, having come to faith in Jesus here and having been a part of the many different ministries with each life stage. Through a traumatic life-changing event, God began to pave a path for Jeff that was different from his peers. He attended Gordon College, graduating with degrees in biblical studies and economics and a minor in business administration. Though Jeff had aspirations to be successful by worldly standards, God challenged him to place his trust and identity in Christ alone. Sensing God’s call to vocational ministry at an early age and eventually obeying, Jeff continued his studies at Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary where he earned his Master of Divinity, while also continuing to serve at CBCGB. After graduating in 2015, Jeff served as the Assistant English Ministry Pastor at Logos Community Church in New York. Jeff is married to Ying, whom he met in the college fellowship at CBCGB. Together, they have an adopted Yorkie named Clover. God has called Jeff and Ying back to Boston, where Jeff will continue advancing the Kingdom of God through the local church as the Cross Bridge minister and Ying will continue serving God in the marketplace as a Tufts pediatrics medical resident. Having had his faith largely shaped and matured through the ministries of those who came before him at CBCGB, Jeff looks forward to continuing that work as the Cross Bridge minister.

    Juan was born and raised in a small coastal town in Fujian, China. She loves sea and food (especially seafood) and enjoys spending time with children. She received her bachelor’s and master’s degree in education, and subsequently taught schools in Chiang Mai and Los Angeles. When she was a teenager, she dreamed about becoming a missionary. She began her theological training at BU School of Theology in 2015 with the goal to become a missionary. One year into her study, she felt God’s calling to work with college students in Boston. The large turn-over rate of student population in the Boston area makes it an ideal mission field! God has clearly provided the way. After completed her M. Div. degree, she becomes a minister of CBCGB working at City Outreach Ministry (COM) serving students. She is excited about the fulfillment of her dream to become a missionary and the opportunity to share Gospel with students in the Boston area.  

     

    陳娟在福建的一個海邊小鎮出生長大，喜歡大海，熱愛美食。她喜歡小朋友，曾在在青少年時期夢想到非洲宣教，幫助當地的孩子們。她在拿到教育學士和教育碩士之後，曾在清邁和洛杉磯的學校任教。2015年，因著感嘆於人生苦短，想在最美好的年華為神做最有意義的事情，陳娟因而來到波士頓大學神學院開始道學碩士課程的學習，預備成為一名宣教士。在就讀神學期間，城區的服事讓她看到學生事工的需要。流動性極大的中國學生的福音事工讓她意識到宣教不僅僅可以去到非洲，也可以在波士頓就接觸到來自各地的中國學生並向他們傳福音。她盼望福音的種子可以被畢業的同學們帶到世界的各個地方，也在那裡活出神美好的見證。
