Cross-Cultural Ethnic Diversity

This is Kurt Richardson, one of four staff on team 2. The picture is of David Chung, Brian Yun, yours truly and Patrick Lee.

David and Brian are Korean; Patrick is Chinese. David and Patrick are involved with KCCC (Korean Campus Crusade for Christ) and Brian with Epic (the Asian-American campus ministry of Campus Crusade). When I told these guys my pastor in Boston is Korean, they made me an honorary Asian!

I have really enjoyed these men. They have added more than their share to our Project. In addition to being the first to volunteer for just about everything, they have really set the pace in extending the Kingdom. These guys are leaders. They love to talk about Jesus Christ to other people, and they back up their words with their actions.

They all come from the West Coast – UCLA, Oregon State and UCSD, respectively. So we were quickly able to set about discussing Arizona State’s future domination of the Pac-10 … or -16. Brian and David are Laker fans. I overlook that and tell them to embrace Steve Nash and the Phoenix Suns. Why? Well, Steve Nash makes everyone better.
