Hello friends, welcome to my blog where I nerd out about things related to Asian American worship. I first became interested in this topic around 2015 after I started writing worship songs and it dawned on me that in the 2 years I spent attempting to do multicultural worship ministry, I never came across Asian American worship songs or resources. Thus I began my independent study…

I recently felt compelled to share the information and resources I’ve collected over the years. My hope is that this blog sparks conversation and inspires Asian Americans to create their own contextualized worship resources and services. There may not be tons of material already out there but there is enough for at least several blog posts (so stay tuned 🙂 ). I hope that just as Jesus blessed and multiplied the 5 loaves and 2 fish, may the Asian American offerings of worship shared in this blog also be multiplied.
