Reverend
Paul Choy
Associate Pastor (Cantonese Ministry)
Born
in Hong Kong, Pastor Paul Choy accepted Christ as
his personal saviour in 1969 while attending the
Kowloon Tong Church of the C&MA. While still
in high school, Paul moved to Vancouver, British
Columbia. During this time, he attended Vancouver
Chinese Alliance Church, serving here as a youth
leader.
By
the grace of God, Pastor Paul was called into full-time
ministry in 1973. Four years later, he and his wife
of six months, Molly, joined the Chinese Christian
Mission in California, USA. It was while serving
there that God blessed them with two boys.
The
Choys eventually moved back to Canada and attended
the Prairie Bible Institute (PBI)
in Alberta, completing their training in 1988. They
were grateful that their home church in Vancouver
invited Paul to return to VCAC and pastor the English-speaking
congregation, and God enabled him to serve in that
ministry for three years.
Ordained
in 1992, Pastor Paul is now mainly involved in preaching,
teaching, training, and pastoral care for the Cantonese-speaking congregation
at Fraser Lands. He is also overseeing the VCAC Missions Department as well as serving as the Fraser Lands Site Coordinating Pastor.
