First, with so many Christian publications already available in Taiwan and North America, why did the world need KRC magazine? Second, why should readers choose to read this magazine?\n\nWould reading it\u2014or not reading it\u2014make a difference in their lives, daily living, ministry, and their understanding of and commitment to Kingdom Outreach, Kingdom Leaders, Kingdom Culture, Kingdom Relationships, and Kingdom Communities?\n\nThe ongoing pursuit of these questions, together with the desire to fulfill this vision, has been a major source of motivation for my more than twenty years of service with the Kingdom Resources for Christ (KRC).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When I joined KRC, my hope was to help expand the territory of Chinese-language Christian publishing in North America and to equip more writers and communicators through training programs. I also longed to encourage thoughtful, lifelong learners within the Christian community to broaden and deepen their spiritual horizons through reading the magazine\u2014not merely to gain knowledge, but to put their faith into practice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"663\" src=\"https:\/\/e-krc.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/\u7de8\u8f2f\u81fa-1-1024x663.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-19042\" style=\"aspect-ratio:1.5445075534397021;width:1116px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/e-krc.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/\u7de8\u8f2f\u81fa-1-1024x663.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/e-krc.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/\u7de8\u8f2f\u81fa-1-300x194.jpg 300w, https:\/\/e-krc.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/\u7de8\u8f2f\u81fa-1-768x498.jpg 768w, https:\/\/e-krc.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/\u7de8\u8f2f\u81fa-1-50x32.jpg 50w, https:\/\/e-krc.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/\u7de8\u8f2f\u81fa-1-1600x1037.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/e-krc.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/\u7de8\u8f2f\u81fa-1-1536x995.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/e-krc.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/\u7de8\u8f2f\u81fa-1-18x12.jpg 18w, https:\/\/e-krc.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/\u7de8\u8f2f\u81fa-1-400x259.jpg 400w, https:\/\/e-krc.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/\u7de8\u8f2f\u81fa-1-600x389.jpg 600w, https:\/\/e-krc.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/\u7de8\u8f2f\u81fa-1.jpg 1670w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Since the first Christian Writers' Workshop was launched at Ambassadors Farm in 1999, Pastor Wen-An Su has done far more than teach people how to write. He has helped shape and mentor them to become faithful workers in the ministry of writing.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Lily Kao, founder of KRC and KRC magazine, has consistently emphasized the \u201cSeven Powers\u201d\u2014Vision, Breakthrough, Challenge, Knowledge, Application, Inspiration, and Action. These qualities are, in fact, the key to making any ministry impactful.\n\nThey are both the \u201cinner disciplines\u201d that must be cultivated and strengthened through daily practice, and the practical \u201cskills\u201d that can be applied in one's personal life, family, business, church, community, and readership. They are at once the training of the inner life and the expression of that life through outward practice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In addition, at the first Christian Writers' Workshop in 1999, I proposed a core set of values: \u201cThe worker is more important than the work; the author is more important than the writing; sincerity surpasses everything.\u201d\n\nThese principles apply not only to the ministry of writing, but also to our personal lives, families, businesses, churches, and every sphere of service. Their significance extends far beyond the written word.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The \u201cSeven Powers,\u201d together with these core values, have remained guiding principles throughout my years of ministry. Beyond my editorial work with KRC, I have also been involved in a variety of other ministries. These include serving as Vice President of the Family Keepers International, editor-in-chief of Family Keepers magazine, overseeing administrative operations, teaching, leading ministries in family faith transmission and family films, as well as directing retreats and holistic educational travel programs.\n\nThe \u201cSeven Powers\u201d and these core values have enabled these various ministries and KRC to complement one another, enriching and strengthening each other along the way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Mutual Growth and Enrichment<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Throughout my years of ministry, writing and editing have always occupied a very important place in my life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Writing is much like a painter creating on his or her own canvas. Editing, on the other hand, is like curating an art gallery\u2014bringing together the works of different artists so that both the creators and their creations can be seen, appreciated, and valued.\n\nWriting is also like performing a solo. Editing is more like conducting a symphony orchestra.\n\nWriting resembles a player competing on the field, while editing is more like coaching\u2014placing different players in the right positions at the right moments so they can contribute their unique strengths and perform at their best.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In my roles as an author, editor, pastor, and teacher, I have continually challenged myself to ensure that, whether writing an article, editing a magazine, preparing a sermon, or teaching a course, I approach the task from different perspectives and with different attitudes, producing work that reflects the \u201cFour Ws\u201d:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Who \u2014 Who am I? What experiences, resources, and personal foundation do I bring to the writing of this article or the editing of this publication? What value can I offer my readers?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Whom \u2014 Who is the intended audience? For example, KRC is published for Christians who are willing to learn, reflect, and think deeply. Therefore, its articles should be approached from the perspective of thoughtful and substantive spiritual insight.\n\nBy contrast, Family Keepers is positioned as a pre-evangelistic publication. Its readers are reached through topics such as family, marriage, and parenting, presented in an accessible and engaging style that promotes a Christian vision of family values.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What \u2014 What content should be written or edited? What would be beneficial to the reader? What should readers be able to gain from it? Will they come away with new knowledge, fresh perspectives, or practical steps they can apply in their own lives?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">How \u2014 How should the content be written, edited, and presented? Can it communicate with warmth, conviction, and sound reasoning, while clearly conveying the message and insights it is intended to share?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In terms of both content and presentation, I often evaluate my work from another perspective as well:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Learnability \u2014 Can readers learn something new?<br>Practicality \u2014 Can it be put into practice?<br>Relatability \u2014 Does it connect with readers and feel relevant to their lives?<br>Readability \u2014 Does the writing flow smoothly, and is it enjoyable to read?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These principles are not limited to writing and publishing. They can also be applied to family life, teamwork in ministry, teaching, preaching, and virtually every sphere of service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Facing the Challenge of Change<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Over the twenty years I served as Editor-in-Chief of KRC magazine, my role continually evolved. In the early days of the publication, as we blazed new trails, nearly all of the editorial team came from the writing camp as students and instructors. We learned while doing and did while learning, and my role was more like that of a teacher.\n\nAs we entered a stage of pressing forward while fighting the battle, and fighting the battle while pressing forward, I became more like a coach.\n\nIn recent years, as the team has gradually matured, I have slowly transitioned into the role of a consultant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">From another perspective, the progression can be described this way: from \u201cI speak, you listen,\u201d to \u201cI do, you watch,\u201d then \u201cI do, you do,\u201d and finally, \u201cYou do, I watch.\u201d This is, in essence, the transition from teacher, to coach, and ultimately to consultant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As Ephesians 3:21 says, \u201cTo Him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever\u2026\u201d This speaks not only of generational succession within the church, but can also be extended to the passing on of every ministry. It is my earnest hope that both KRC and KRC magazine will continue to raise up gifted workers from generation to generation, and that the river of grace will flow on without ceasing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Speaking of challenges, one of the greatest challenges KRC\u2019s writing ministry has faced since 1999 has been the rapid pace of technological change. From print magazines to digital and mobile editions, from traditional media to multimedia platforms, and more recently to AI, those of us engaged in written media ministry have had to continually adjust and adapt. It has also required the entire team to move forward together and keep pace with these changes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"672\" src=\"https:\/\/e-krc.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/\u7de8\u8f2f\u81fa-2-1024x672.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-19043\" style=\"aspect-ratio:1.5238217034436254;width:1167px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/e-krc.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/\u7de8\u8f2f\u81fa-2-1024x672.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/e-krc.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/\u7de8\u8f2f\u81fa-2-300x197.jpg 300w, https:\/\/e-krc.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/\u7de8\u8f2f\u81fa-2-768x504.jpg 768w, https:\/\/e-krc.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/\u7de8\u8f2f\u81fa-2-50x33.jpg 50w, https:\/\/e-krc.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/\u7de8\u8f2f\u81fa-2-18x12.jpg 18w, https:\/\/e-krc.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/\u7de8\u8f2f\u81fa-2-400x262.jpg 400w, https:\/\/e-krc.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/\u7de8\u8f2f\u81fa-2-600x394.jpg 600w, https:\/\/e-krc.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/\u7de8\u8f2f\u81fa-2.jpg 1180w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">When KRC founder Lily Yang and Editor-in-Chief Rev. Andrew Su launched KRC magazine, they intentionally set out to address issues that the church had long needed to talk about, yet was unwilling to talk about, afraid to talk about, or unsure how to talk about.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When KRC founder Lily Yang and I first set our vision for KRC magazine, we intentionally chose to address issues that the church had long needed to discuss, yet was unwilling to discuss, afraid to discuss, or unsure how to discuss. That decision also made the planning and development of KRC considerably more challenging.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yet whether in responding to new technologies or tackling editorial projects, the team has worked together in the Lord with one heart and mind\u2014from \u201cseeing the challenge,\u201d to \u201cembracing the challenge,\u201d to \u201cpressing on toward the goal\u201d; and from \u201cfeeling at a loss,\u201d to \u201cdevoting ourselves to learning,\u201d to \u201cmastering the task.\u201d These have been wonderful experiences of teamwork, with each co-worker fulfilling his or her own role and contribution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A Team Greatly Encouraged and Inspired<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I am deeply grateful for this remarkable team that God Himself has called together over the years. Nearly all of the editors, reporters, and contributing writers during the early and middle years came from among the participants of the writing, reporting, and editing workshops that I led over the years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">My encounters with them, and the deep bonds forged through years of working side by side, all began among the cornfields of Paradise, Pennsylvania, or in the beautiful wooded grounds of Villa Maria. Their backgrounds and life experiences were remarkably diverse. For example, when they attended the writing workshops, Professor Yin-Kann Wen was already a well-known economist; Dr. Gleen Yue was a physicist; Yang Han Chia-hua was a nurse; Hailan Jian was an editor; Chou Lan-hui was a professional artist; Iris Liao was an award-winning journalist; Sherry Lee was a mother of three; and Linda Pang was a homemaker. Yet all of them, united by their commitment to the KRC vision, willingly devoted themselves without counting the cost. During their years serving as section editors and planners for KRC, they continued to learn humbly, grow, and break new ground, eventually becoming key pillars of the KRC's writing ministry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Among them, our current Executive Editor, Linda Pang, and former Executive Editor, Sherry Lee, became the two primary successors to my editorial work. Linda is exceptionally meticulous and responsible in her editing. She has a keen eye for proofreading and is gifted in planning and analyzing issues from multiple perspectives. Sherry, on the other hand, is highly creative, personable, and quick to learn. She has been able to draw from her own experiences of caring for both the elderly and the young in her family, transforming them into a rich foundation for her writing and bringing a warm and engaging style to her work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Chang Tung-ning of our Taiwan team is another co-worker who has deeply touched me. She has truly lived out these three principles: \u201cWorkers come before the work, authors matter more than their works, and sincerity surpasses everything else.\u201d Although she has not produced a large body of written work, she has treated the food she creates with her own hands\u2014Ha Dumplings' healthy dumplings\u2014as her work. Through them, she expresses her convictions with genuine sincerity, becoming a unique yet profoundly authentic example of these principles in practice. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As for KRC founder Lily Yang, despite the continual challenges of extremely limited manpower, finances, and resources, she has faithfully upheld the vision and mission of the entire team. By providing steadfast support for those serving on the front lines of the writing ministry, she has been an indispensable pillar behind the work. She is undoubtedly one of the key reasons why KRC magazine continues to speak for the Lord and exert kingdom influence to this day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Editorial Work in Step with the Times<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As for succession and passing the baton, they are tremendous challenges for any ministry. It is not enough merely to find someone who can maintain the status quo; one must also find those who can surpass their predecessors and bring fresh vision and innovation to the work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The work of an editor-in-chief or executive editor requires the ability to endure long periods of behind-the-scenes labor, exceptional attention to detail, and at the same time a broad vision and strong planning skills. One must be able to handle the details while also keeping sight of the bigger picture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In addition, editors need the willingness to remain behind the scenes. Many times, the results are seen in the work of the author, yet the editor has invested a tremendous amount of time, effort, and care behind it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In today\u2019s environment, editors can no longer remain completely behind the scenes. Instead, they often need to step into the public eye, building connections for the publication, seeking support, and cultivating relationships. For many who are accustomed to working independently as writers, this can be a significant challenge. Writing may be about words, but at its core it is \u201cpeople writing for people to read, and people editing for people to read.\u201d Therefore, interaction with people remains essential.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After stepping down from my role as Editor-in-Chief of KRC magazine, I will continue to devote myself to the ministries I have already been involved in, such as promoting family faith inheritance and developing new writing-training courses. At the same time, I hope to devote more time to writing and teaching.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I am grateful to KRC magazine for giving me the opportunity to look back on more than two decades of journeying alongside this team in the ministry of writing. Above all, I offer endless thanks to the Great Author and Editor in heaven.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"731\" src=\"https:\/\/e-krc.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/\u7de8\u8f2f\u81fa-3-1024x731.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-19046\" style=\"aspect-ratio:1.4008293610927045;width:1154px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/e-krc.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/\u7de8\u8f2f\u81fa-3-1024x731.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/e-krc.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/\u7de8\u8f2f\u81fa-3-300x214.jpg 300w, https:\/\/e-krc.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/\u7de8\u8f2f\u81fa-3-768x549.jpg 768w, https:\/\/e-krc.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/\u7de8\u8f2f\u81fa-3-50x36.jpg 50w, https:\/\/e-krc.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/\u7de8\u8f2f\u81fa-3-1600x1143.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Over the years of leading KRC magazine, Rev.

Andrew Su. Under his guidance, I have been involved in writing ministry ever since. Through his life, he has influenced my life, continually helping both my heart and my pen to grow.<br><br>What impacted me most was Rev. Su\u2019s patience and acceptance when I made mistakes. Being rather careless, I made several major errors in my editorial work. In a typical publishing house, I probably would have been asked to leave long ago. Yet Rev. Su never rebuked me. Instead, he would say, \u201cKeep going\u2014we\u2019ll carry this together.\u201d Those words gave me the courage and sense of security to keep moving forward toward the goal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-theme-palette-13-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-2a7225c6951e4c9078389d2337d8a672 wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Gleen Yue\nFormer Planning Editor, Outreach Section<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I was privileged to be one of the earliest participants in the writing workshop. To this day, Rev. Andrew Su\u2019s teaching on the \u201cSeven Regular Practices\u201d still echoes in my ears. His principles\u2014\u201cWorkers come before the work, authors matter more than their works, and sincerity surpasses everything else\u201d\u2014have also served as a constant reminder throughout my years of ministry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Rev. Su is an outstanding writer and pastor, as well as a teacher devoted to continually training and equipping workers. He has nurtured countless students, whose influence extends like the territory of Israel in its days of strength, from Dan to Beersheba. Today, many of them continue to labor faithfully in the fields of Chinese Christian writing ministry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With his encouragement, we students enthusiastically compiled the five-volume Life\u2019s Nourishing Soup series. KRC magazine was also launched in 2005, and both the books and the magazine were well received. With Rev. Su\u2019s encouragement, I also published two books, The John Code and The Seven Sufferings of the Cross.\n\nWhenever we considered a ministry or individual to feature, Rev. Su always emphasized the importance of discerning God\u2019s leading. He is now retiring from his position as Editor-in-Chief, but it is my hope that KRC will continue to encourage its readers, and that more and more writers and editors will devote their gifts to serving God\u2019s Kingdom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-theme-palette-13-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-07ee01513edd7eb00d83ffe69e851abb wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Jiahua Yang-Han, Former Community Section Planning Editor<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-theme-palette-3-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-f5ca1995ec2ea3af6998614dd09a1b52 wp-block-paragraph\">Not naturally gifted with words, I timidly walked into the Christian Writers' Workshop in 2000 and met Rev. Andrew Su for the first time in the prime of his life. Under his patient, hands-on guidance, I began learning how to express ideas with precision and clarity, while also infusing my writing with just the right touch of literary grace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-theme-palette-3-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-61baa32c092e651c1a42639eb877646f wp-block-paragraph\">Pastor Su always made sure that encouragement came before criticism. We would jokingly say among ourselves, \u201cAfter hearing his praise, you almost start believing you're a once-in-a-generation genius.\u201d Even when our writing was still immature, he would warmly encourage us, saying, \u201cYou've done your best.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-theme-palette-3-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-632c0e253b3c6b8f3f585881caf38314 wp-block-paragraph\">Later, I had the privilege of serving alongside Rev. Su on the KRC Board and with KRC magazine, which allowed me to see a fuller picture of who he was. He was a man who feared God, lived with integrity, and spoke with honesty. He invested deeply in relationships with coworkers, yet handled matters with wisdom, balance, and appropriate boundaries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-theme-palette-3-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-c351203a482d6d1a3488da53b041de93 wp-block-paragraph\">Pastor Su treated me as a friend, while I respected him as a mentor and elder. Now that he has stepped down from his role as Editor-in-Chief of KRC magazine, I am confident that, like the flourishing palm tree described in the Psalms, he will continue to bear fruit in old age\u2014full of vitality, evergreen, and never fading. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-theme-palette-13-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-9fbf201b337137f576d5592a858f06cb wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Lan-Hui Chou, Art Director<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I am honored to have been among the first group of students in the KRC Writers' Workshop. Pastor Su personally edited our articles with his red pen, and in this age of AI, those handwritten marks are more precious than ever.\n\nThe foundational disciplines he taught us\u2014such as the \u201cSeven Regular Practices\u201d and the use of an \u201cInspiration Journal\u201d\u2014have benefited me tremendously over the years. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Pastor Su often taught through vivid illustrations. He would say that life is like a fire truck carrying a limited supply of water. Since the water is finite, we must follow the commands of the Commander in heaven and direct it to the places where it is needed most.\n\nHe and his wife have been like devoted partners in ministry, faithfully serving the Lord together and providing a beautiful example of a life well lived.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-theme-palette-13-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-844648d8347827f49d8d7082012ebf67 wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Hai-Lan Jian\nFormer Planning Editor, Relationships Section<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">During the years I served alongside Rev.

He often reminded us, \u201cDo not seek work equal to your ability; seek ability equal to your work.\u201d\n\nWith remarkable patience, he walked alongside us as we learned to write better articles and produce better magazines. More importantly, he helped us align our hearts with God's purposes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What impressed me most was his faith and perseverance in the face of difficulties. He firmly believed that God's work often moves from \u201cimpossible,\u201d to \u201cfilled with challenges,\u201d and ultimately to \u201cwonderfully accomplished.\u201d\n\nFrom him, I learned not to focus on my own inadequacies, but to rely on God's grace and courageously embrace challenges I had never faced before.\n\nThis experience of serving alongside him taught me a lasting lesson: when a life is willing to be shaped by God, it can become a useful instrument in His hands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-theme-palette-13-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-8d08bedf72130891df6aaead0152ec0b wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Wenping Sophia Li, Former Executive Editor<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Looking back on the journey, the KRC family has lifted my life to a new level. I am deeply grateful to Lily Yang for her guidance, which opened the door for me to become part of this ministry and, in turn, to meet Rev. Andrew Su.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Among the many interactions we shared, I especially remember the voice prayer messages Pastor Su would send\u2014a tangible expression of his pastoral care for the team as a shepherd through words. I also remember his \u201cfire truck water\u201d illustration. Even today, I sometimes retell that story to help others make difficult decisions.\n\nI have long admired the professionalism of his writing and his editorial excellence. Yet it was through serving alongside him that I came to appreciate even more deeply his pastor's heart\u2014humble, warm, broad-minded, and full of wisdom, quietly nurturing and encouraging those around him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Some encounters in life can only be described as a blessing\u2014and meeting Pastor Su was certainly one of them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-theme-palette-13-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-57d845d658920e8f156201e669b93f09 wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Iris Liao \u2014 Contributing Writer<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In 2002, driven by curiosity, I ventured into the Writers' Workshop held amid the cornfields. After completing the introductory course, I even went on to take the journalism and interviewing track.\n\nFrom that point on, for fifteen consecutive years, I faithfully returned each summer to Pennsylvania to attend the Writers' Workshop led by Rev. Andrew Su, forging a lasting teacher-student friendship with him along the way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cSome people have stories but no pen to write them. Others have a pen but no stories to tell. You have stories, and you have a pen. Keep writing\u2014write for the Lord!\u201d\n\nIt was this encouragement from Pastor Andrew Su that inspired me to keep writing without stopping\u2014telling the stories of others, while also telling my own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dear Pastor Su,\n\nThank you for leading and mentoring us, your fellow workers in the ministry of writing, step by step and hand in hand. Thank you for the time, energy, and care you have invested in us. Thank you for both your words and your example, which have taught and shaped us through the years.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-theme-palette-13-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-d78304c77325ce373915386008f812f6 wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Sherry Lee \u2014 Former Executive Edito<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On the platform, Rev. Andrew Su was full of creativity. Using the Korean drama Dae Jang Geum as an illustration, he helped us understand that an editor is like a \u201cchef of the soul.\u201d Just as a master chef carefully prepares nourishing and beautifully presented dishes, editors must diligently learn to serve readers with thoughtfully crafted words that nourish the heart and mind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThere is no secret recipe for good cooking. Sincerity and time are the recipe. Only the sincerity and sweat poured into the rice and dishes can produce food that is truly healthy and delicious.\u201d This has become a continuing reminder to me in my editorial ministry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On one special occasion at a KRC retreat, Rev. Su needed clerical attire. He had borrowed a black suit jacket at the last minute, but it lacked the white clerical collar. With remarkable creativity, several participants fashioned one from the limited materials they had on hand, and it looked completely natural. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Through the guidance of our Editor-in-Chief, Rev. Su, a team was shaped that possessed a relaxed and gracious team spirit, yet remained rigorous and dedicated. We pursued excellence, analyzed issues in depth, and fostered creativity; we were God-centered and people-focused. To borrow an analogy from the Jin Yong novels that Rev. Su enjoys, we were disciples of the \u201cSu school.\u201d We trained in the inner discipline of reverence for God and sincerity toward others, while practicing the outward skills of planning, interviewing, writing, and editing. Together, these were woven into issue after issue of KRC magazine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-theme-palette-13-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-02e19b8f9fff19aabb76ba532439487c wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Linda Pang, Executive Editor KRC Magazine<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cCome, let me pray for you!\u201d Any growth I have experienced in my writing ministry has come through the prayers of Rev. Andrew Su.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">From having my articles repeatedly rejected in the early days, to later reviewing all the manuscripts for the magazine; from serving as an assistant editor who initially helped with typing, to now serving as an executive editor handling every stage of the editorial process . . . Throughout the ministry, whether I felt discouraged or uncertain, whether we were discussing themes or searching for interview candidates, my conversations with Rev. Su often ended the same way:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cCome, let me pray for you!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These prayers were encouragement, affirmation, comfort, and expectation. Through them, he put into practice one of his own guiding principles:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWorkers come before the work, authors matter more than their works, and sincerity surpasses everything else.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Rev.
