Chaplain

John Faith Yu

Qualifications

My academic background and realistic experiences have been a big plus to carry out the duties of pastoral caring in clinical efforts to provide treatment in a recovery-oriented environment.

I am equipped with wide perspectives, compassion and professional skills required to handle lots of issues stemming from unusual styles of life and circumstances. Serving developmental disabilities, counseling their parents, and supporting volunteers for many years empowers me with compassion and responsibility for people in need.

Also, I have stimulated knowledge and comprehension about various human subjects and sufferings, while dealing with them under diverse situations of church, NPO and journalism as a bi-vocational minister.

My familiarity and understanding of people who were from different cultures and languages also contributes significantly to my ability for completion of missions through effective cooperation and strong teamwork.
