In 2002, Esther began working as the Mandarin Broadcast Coordinator for InTouch Ministries. Her job is to make sure Mandarin versions of Dr. Charles Stanley’s messages get translated into Mandarin for airing on Toronto and Vancouver Fairchild Radio stations.

It is also her job to help listeners with prayer support, spiritual guidance and Bible knowledge.

“The immigrants from Mainland China always face many pressures, which were caused by adjusting to the new environment and different culture,” she said. “When I studied counselling at Tyndale, I learned how to understand their situations and their spiritual and emotional needs.

“The three years of study at Tyndale … equipped me to be a better Christian counsellor,” she said. “I had much confidence to be a good people helper after graduation.”

Esther also assists her husband, Rev. David Chan, in their work at Pickering Community Baptist Church east of Toronto.

She graduated from Tyndale in 2009 with an MDiv in Clinical Counselling.
