Brother Moses Sun grew up in Beijing. While studying abroad, he began to pursue the spiritual sustenance of religion until he was born again and saved by Jesus Truth and the Holy Spirit on March 21, 1991. Then, he was called by God to devote himself to the work of preaching the gospel and was equipped with theological trainings at a theological seminary in the United States, and he obtained a degree of Master of Divinity in 1996. After that, he and his wife, Mary, joined in missionary works in gospel broadcasting and online media ministries.
From his experience of being saved and preaching the gospel to unbelievers, Brother Moses deeply felt the obstacles in the process of seekers’ understanding God, such as being troubled by evolutionism, atheism, and some religious issues. In addition, some so-called believers at Christian churches and organizations have not been born again. Therefore, he follows the example of the Lord Jesus, using Jesus Truth to challenge the lost souls both outside and inside churches for repenting truly to Jesus and being born again by Jesus Truth and the Holy Spirit.
