4a. What others say

Max Stackhouse, PhD (Harvard), Professor Emeritus at Princeton Seminary and ACT Board member:

“Those of us who are called to be teachers, have to address the questions that arise in the cultures where we live, and those questions are today most urgent in three areas -- the Christian encounter with the sciences, the world religions, and the world economic situation. Ron, we have both lived in cultures where the encounter with the world religions in

unavoidable, and no part of the world can avoid the question of how God wants us to structure our economic lives. We have discussed these issues before. I look forward to participating in this ministry.”

4b. What others sayMax McLean, Founder & Artistic Director of FELLOWSHIP FOR THE PERFORMING ARTS. Award winning actor and star of the hit play,

The Screwtape Letters, that he adapted from the C. S. Lewis novel.

“Dr. Ron Choong’s ministry offers a rare glimpse into the nature of God that comes through the lens of one who has made it his life’s work to understand and integrate history, philosophy, the sciences and theology, to deepen Christian discipleship. He prepares his students to engage the culture at thehighest intellectual levels. But Ron is no ivory tower academic. He has auniquely engaging, fun personality who cares deeply for the Church and worksdiligently to make the time sitting under his ministry a thrilling and potentiallylife altering experience.”
