Staff Highlight: Junshuo Yang
We are blessed with an amazing staff at IFI in Columbus! Each month we shine the spotlight on one of the IFI team members so you can meet them up close and personal. During the pandemic God opened the door for new international staff to raise support and join the Central Ohio Campus Team!
Junshuo has been serving as a Campus Minister for the IFI Columbus team since fall of 2020. He has been focusing his time and efforts on building relationships, organizing activities, and serving and discipling students.
Before he joined the IFI team, Junshuo studied in China and then came to the United States to earn his master’s degree in Electrical Engineering from the University of New Hampshire. After graduating, Junshuo moved to Columbus and joined the IFI Internship (ISEED) program. Through this experience, Junshuo witnessed effective ministry and discipleship and knew the Lord was calling him into ministry.
“I have the same vision as IFI: sharing the gospel among all nations, bringing students to Christ and helping them grow their faith in the Lord,” says Junshuo.
As a Campus Minister, Junshuo is excited to get to know internationals, especially Chinese students. One of his favorite memories with IFI was the Chinese Spring Festival Celebration. IFI provided food, planned activities and invited many within the community. What was most impactful was the way the IFI team connected with students and connected Chinese culture to the Lord. International students encountered the gospel in a way that resonated with them.
Junshuo wants to go wherever the Lord would call him. If called, he would one day love to go back to China where he could visit old friends and family and share the Good News of Jesus with them!
He asks for prayer that God would guide the Columbus team to make connections with international students in such uncertain times.
