Wen has served as the Ohio State Campus Ministry Director since 2018. She provides pastoral care and leadership to the multicultural campus ministry team who connect and disciple international students for Christ.

Before joining the IFI team, Wen served in cross-cultural missions.  She moved from China to the United States when she was 12 and later earned her chemical engineering degree from Lafayette College.  She served international students as a volunteer for several years at Cornell University.  Wen worked in the science and engineering industry for ten years until she felt the call to mission.  She then served in Taiwan for seven years where she discipled young multicultural believers and earned a Master of Divinity degree.

While serving in Taiwan she met several leaders in the church and workplace, who were once international students in the United States and were now reaching their own people.  This experience drew Wen to explore missions reaching international students.   When her assignment was completed, Wen  returned to the U.S. and was introduced to IFI.  It seemed like a good fit, since their core values and heart for the lost were aligned with her own passions! 

Wen believes the biggest reward of working for IFI has been engaging a diverse team with a shared passion of reaching students and seeing returnees reaching their own people or wherever God calls them.  

“I want to be a part of my heavenly Father’s Kingdom work.  It gives me purpose.  It gives meaning,” says Wen.  “If I don’t join in, he’ll still move--So why not join in?”  

Wen has seen God open doors to impact the lives of different ethnic groups and work directly in the hearts of students.  One of her favorite memories was from a Bible Discussion group where a student was exposed to scripture and received freedom from its truth (John 8:32).

Wen asks for prayer for wisdom in leading the team to connect and disciple students in relevant ways in this changing world.  She also asks for prayer that her time at IFI would be strategically and effectively used.
