Location: Shanghai, China
Region: Asia

I’m from the East Coast of the US, and have lived in China for four years with my husband of almost eight years! 🙂  I’m currently serving as the Shepherd pastor in an expat fellowship in Shanghai, and am learning in increasing measure the truth of the Beatitudes in everyday life.  I love sharing delicious conversation over an equally delicious cup of coffee, as well as discerning the divine voice while hiking in the forest.  One of those activities is easy to do in Shanghai, while the other one keeps me continually searching!   I’d love to embark on the search for either/both of these things with any friends from Velvet Ashes who find themselves in town :).
