Esder Chong

Esder was raised in Central New Jersey by loving parents who encouraged a Christ-centered life, inspiring her early curiosity about Jesus. Her first encounter with Christ came through the invitation in Luke 10:2, which led her to begin teaching the Bible during her freshman year of college—a practice she has carried into her graduate studies. This led her to accept the call of Acts 1:8, identifying as a witness for Christ, confident that sharing His transformative Word is an invitation to eternal life. She is currently teaching on Genesis, being taught Exodus, and meditating on Leviticus, drawing her closer to a fuller understanding of the Holy God through Christ, our High Priest.
