DJ Chuang recently posted an interview with Brent Wong, a 5th-generation Asian American of Chinese descent. Brent’s searching and questioning may resonate closely with the experience of many Chinese Americans even several generations down the line. You may not speak Chinese or even eat Chinese food but how do your parents respond to your steps of faith?
What cultural aspects transcend language from generation to generation? There’s the academic expectations, the lack of affection and praise…
Many believe Chinese families are close and tight but very often it’s more about order. Our upbringing affects the way we communicate and gives clues to the pains and longings of our hearts.
What other aspects can you identify?
And how does that affect ministry and shape the way you do ministry?
