My name is Francis Wong. I have been married to Esther and we have three children, Stephanie, Benjamin and Priscilla.

I grew up in a traditional Chinese family worshiping ancestors. I came to know the Lord when I was 15 through a friend at school. I sensed God's calling into full-time ministry while studying in Canada. By His grace, I have been serving the Lord since I graduated from seminary in 1982.
My passion is to see people come to know the Lord and be equipped for service through discipleship training.
I enjoy swimming, guitar playing, browsing through books in the library or the book store. During my days off, my favourite thing to do is to spend time with my wife and family. Something most people don't know about me is that I was a scout for many years and I enjoy outdoor activities, such as hiking, camping.
