2024 Grace Conference Speakers

Pastor Tony Chon

Pastor Tony Chon, aka P.T. grew up in Chicago, IL and attended Moody Theological Seminary where he met his wife Ruth. After graduating with his M.Div he moved to Taiwan where he pastored in a church in Tainan for a year. God then called them to serve at a Korean Church in Texas for 2 years and eventually led their family back to the Chicagoland area in Naperville where P.T. pastored at a Chinese Church for 8 ½ years. In 2021 he graduated with his Doctorate of Educational Ministry and then moved to Silicon Valley where he is currently the Executive Director of English Ministries at River of Life Christian Church and the lead pastor of New Wave. God has blessed P.T. with 4 crazy kids: Hope, Hosea, Hudson, and Hosanna. Lastly, even though P.T. lives in Cali he is still a diehard Chi-Town sports fan. He is also a fanboy of K-Pop and K-Drama so if you ever want to gossip about Hallyu Stars you can hit him up.

Pastor Timothy Lo

Tim Lo is all about straight A's: Academically-Achieving, Affluence-Aspiring, Asian-American Adolescents. He's passionate about helping parents raise these kids in understanding how their unique identity connects with the gospel of Jesus Christ, enabling them to influence others and impact the world for good.

Tim's parents are from Hong Kong and Taiwan, and he graduated from Wheaton College and Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary. He's been a full-time youth pastor in various Chinese churches (NJ, MA, CA) since 2002.

Strictly for his job, Tim has consumed over 1,000 boba drinks and 1,000 slices of pizza. At the time of this writing, he's on break from Instagram (10+ years) and Brawl (35,000+ trophies). Every week, he spends a 40 hour period of time off devices for his mental health. Sometimes he'll also joke with people that he's "busy" because of his weekly "board meeting" (skateboarding by the beach). Tim currently serves as one of the youth pastors at the Chinese Bible Church of San Diego. He is married and has three kids.
