Nyob Zoo! My name is George Xiong. I am married to my beautiful wife Shyan Xiong.

I am currently working towards getting a double master’s degree in Mental Health Counseling and Theological Studies at Trinity Evangelical Divinity School. I studied my bachelors in Youth and Family Studies at the University of Northwestern St. Paul.

God has blessed me to be able to have served in ministry in a variety of churches. I grew up in the C&MA attending HAAC in St. Paul, MN, served in a Chinese-Lutheran church throughout college, served as a Youth Pastor at First Free Maplewood (EFCA), and am now serving as the Youth Pastor for Redeemer Life Church in Vernon Hills, IL (ECC). I am excited to continue these conversations that we will have as a community and hope that God would continue to allow us to discuss and understand better his will for the Hmong people as we journey towards mission and theology.

I enjoy sports, fishing, food, board games, and relationships. If I could be any super hero I would be either Dr. Strange or The Flash. If I were any Super Villain I would be Magneto or Venom.
