Clarence was not raised in a Christian home and it was in Junior High that he came to know the Lord as his personal Savior through a friend who invited him to attend Youth Group events and know the Youth Pastor at his friend's church. He understood Christ's sacrifice for him and the freedom that would be gained in a relationship with Jesus and entered into a relationship with Christ at age 14. His journey with Christ was a bit of a roller coaster through High School and it was in the year 2000 that he surrendered his life fully to Christ's call on his life to be involved in vocational Christian ministry. In 2003 he moved to Black Forest Academy in Germany to serve as a Resident Assistant in the boarding program at Black Forest Academy.
Clarence and Anna met in 2003 and were married in 2005 in which they answered the Lord's call to serve as Youth Pastors at North York Chinese Baptist Church from 2005 to 2012. In 2012 the Lord led Anna and Clarence's family back to Black Forest Academy with their 2 little boys to serve as the Middle School Chaplain and serve missionary families and their children at Black Forest Academy.
My Current role in Teach Beyond BFA
Clarence is now serving as the Team Lead with TeachBeyond in Kandern. This role includes keeping a pulse on the 143 TeachBeyond Members (adults and kids) that are serving at Black Forest Academy and various other ministries supported by TeachBeyond in the area. Clarence works within a team to ensure, to the best of their abilities, that the members of TeachBeyond in the area are being cared for in a way that allows them to thrive in their service at their project. We also seek to build community and create camaraderie amongst our team members. One significant challenge that Clarence faces is being able to provide genuine and authentic care for our large team and building a system/culture of mutual care so that it doesn't fall solely as Clarence's responsibility.
