My name is Pastor Roger, out of chicago, IL. For the record, I'm not of Asian descent. My ethnicity is Cherokee/Peoria/Irish English. My journey began at Urbana Missions'96 when I was an undergradute. It was there that the Lord called me to 3 things 1)full time worship, ministry, & servanthood to the 2nd gen. Asian American community 2)A non-denominational campus ministry at UIC in Chicago that was/is predominately 2nd gen. Asians. and 3)racial reconciliation. I accpeted God's call to all 3 & it has been a wonderful journey.
Since then, I was a small group leader at Urbana'00 & '03. I attended Urbana'06 as a volunteer staff worker. And at all 4 f the Urbana conferences, I made many of the worshops that had to do with Asians, all of which were very helpful. On top of that, I've read many books that deal with Asian American culture & racial reconciliation. But I'd long wondered why there wasn't more books written about the struggles that 2nd gen. AA's go through & also the sexism that Asian females encounter. As a pastor, I've long wondered why the body of Christ hadn't written more about these issues(with the exception of "Following Jesus without dishonoring your Parents").
My prayers were answered in fall'06. I saw the advance reviews at amazon of "More than Serving Tea." Needless to say, I was overjoyed, thrilled, & almost moved to tears. This book has been very eye opening, candid, & very Christ centered. It's been a big help to me, both personally & professionally. It covers things that I've learned in the last 10 years, plus covers thinsg I hadn't learned before. It was a very welcomed addition to my library.
My prayer is that more Christian books like this one will be written. Kudos to the 5 authors!
