Introduction

Derek accepted Christ in junior high and wanted to become a missionary in senior high. He had a clear calling to serve in Latin America when he was attending college in Taiwan. After graduation he worked several years in Hong Kong and then entered a seminary. Derek was sent as a single missionary to South America in 2001.

Sindy was sent to Hong Kong under CCM USA to work with the Industrial Evangelistic Fellowship in 1991. She was responsible for evangelism and training for blue-collar workers. Sindy was deployed to Costa Rica in 1997 and worked with a local church, reaching the Chinese through small group Bible study and outreach programs.

Derek married Sindy in 2006, sharing the same burden of ministering to the Chinese in Latin America. In 2008, they took two years of training in Chinese gambler rehabilitation ministry in Hong Kong and returned to Costa Rica, trying to develop a model to help the Chinese gamblers in Latin America. Derek and Sindy headed to Venezuela in 2011 hoping to help the gamblers while pastoring a small Chinese church but were forced to leave due to visa problem. They started serving in Macau with gambler rehabilitation ministry in 2014.
