Ms. Sandy Y. F. LAI
Personal Vision & Mission
I have a deep conviction that those who are called to study in theological seminaries will not only be equipped to serve but also be spiritually inspired of their noble identities as recipients of grace. They will realize that it is our Lord who has chosen them to both serve and receive his blessings. As such, their lives can truly be transformed and satisfied with joy, which can sustain them through a longer and harder road of serving.
Because of this, I particularly take to the words of Nouwen and Buechner :
"Human Beings are the beloved sons and daughters of God. They have only to receive that love and live in that identity." ~ Henri Nouwen
"The place God calls you to is the place where your deep gladness and the world's deep hunger meet." ~ Frederick Buechner
My specialties include spiritual formation, spiritual direction and Ignatian Spirituality. I also lead retreat camps and offer one-on-one spiritual direction.
