Kin Keung Mak - Pastor, Cantonese Speaking

Kin became a Christian during the final year in college. After he graduated, he worked in the field of civil engineering for six years as he was attending a small church in Hong Kong. He was involved in evangelism and saw the church grew in number. The Lord had put a strong desire in him to help the spiritual growth of the new believers and he received the call for full time ministry in 1984. After finishing M.Div. from China Graduate School of Theology (Hong Kong), he served with a missionary to plant a new church in a housing estate for six years. His family immigrated to San Francisco in 1993. He served at the First Chinese Baptist Church in Chinatown for ten years. In February 2006, God led him to serve at Sunset Church as the Cantonese Speaking Pastor. He and his wife Angela married in 1982. They have two lovely daughters, Melanie (21) and Jocelyn (16). Besides serving the church and the three ladies at home, he enjoys serving on the tennis court too.

He recently married his fiancée, Jeannette Lu, in the winter of 2008. Joey's calling is to youth and their families. His desire is to be a part of God's work in transforming students. He actively engages students and walks with them on their spiritual journeys. He also desires to see youth ministry creatively include students with the life of the whole church (yes, this means adults!). In his free time you may find Joey running or doing other outdoorsy activities. He loves backpacking and winter sports. And yes, Joey is a fan of Detroit sports teams; a life-long fan of the ever-disappointing Lions.
