Welcome, Friends! 欢迎, 朋友们!
We are an organization of Americans and Chinese who serve students, scholars and their families from China at the University of Maryland. We are not a church but a Christian group that works with local churches in sharing Christian love. We welcome everyone from China to participate whether they have religious beliefs or not.
我们是一群中，美人士所组成的团体，专於帮助来自中国的马里兰大学的学者，学生及他们的家人。我们并不是一个教会；只是一群基督徒与当地的教会连结，一起分享基督的爱。我们欢迎每一位来自中国的朋友加入我们，不在乎你是否有任何宗教信仰背景。
Our leader, Tian Yongming
Students call me Bro. Yongming. I love playing badminton, photography, and Chinese milk tea. Several years ago, driven by an academic dream, I came to the U.S. to pursue my Ph.D. degree. Encountering Jesus Christ was totally unexpected, but I later realized it was part of His plan. I once thought serving the Lord was unlikely for me, but years later, I quit my industry job to serve Him full-time. I enjoy spending time with young people, like you, to feel young myself. The difficulties you encounter while studying abroad and the challenges at this stage of life are many that I have also experienced.
In the struggle between “nei juan” and “tang ping,” there are some questions we are all seeking answers to: I have good conditions in all aspects, so why am I still not satisfied? What can truly define my worth? What is the purpose of my life?
After knowing Jesus, I discovered that He truly answered these questions in the most unexpected way. I look forward to exploring this faith journey with you!
Bro. Yongming and his wife, Jiang Shanya
学生们都叫我永明哥。我喜欢羽毛球、摄影、奶茶。多年前来美攻读博士，一心要实现自己的学术梦想。与主耶稣相遇完全出乎意料，却在主的计划之中。曾经觉得自己服事主是最小概率事件，没想到若干年后却辞去工程师的工作，”彻底转行”服事主。喜欢跟90、00后的年轻人混在一起以混淆自己的年龄。你们留学所经历的困难、在这个人生阶段所面临的挑战很多我也都经历过。在内卷和躺平之间，有一些问题，我们所有人都在寻找答案：我各方面条件都不错，为什么心里还是不满足？到底什么可以定义我的价值？我活着的意义是什么？认识耶稣之后，我才真正发现，主耶稣用最出乎意料的方式回答了这些关乎我们每个人的问题。希望与你们一起开启这个信仰探索之旅！
