Strong Woman

Abstract

Ye witnessed how her mother changed from a Buddhist to a powerful Pentecostal minister, whose entrepreneurial gifts in business contributed to the regional growth of Pentecostalism in China. Ye’s mother maintained extensive connections with Diaspora Chinese Christians. At a young people’s retreat, Ye found out that the Christian faith has spread beyond a critical mass among her own generation. The fact that so many young adults were taking ownership of their faith became a catalyst to Ye. Having a taciturn personality, which is quite different from her mother’s, Ye is content being married to a young preacher. Her decision in being a pastor’s wife and a stay-at-home mom to three children had full support from her mother.
