Rev Chen baptized me as a child and made learning about Jesus fun, I remember his sermons and am so thankful for his kindness to a little girl that was having many challenges at home.

I was forever blessed by Yung Chen at a young age of 11. He came to preach and share his testimony at our church in Washington Indiana and I prayed to receive Christ. I still can see and hear him singing How Great Thou Art. Looking forward to our reunion one day.

Your Dad came to our Church in Washington In.years ago. He stayed with our family and preached, sang, shared his testimony for a weekend revival. It was during that time I accepted Christ and forever grateful to Yung Chen and the God he loved and served. I was blessed to meet with him several other times and he was so encouraging to me and our family. Praying for all of you as you celebrate his life and joyful reunion with the Lord.

Paul, Grace, Peter and families, Your father (and mother) were so inspirational to me and my husband when he pastored at Mitchell Street UM church in Kendallville, IN.
