Arthur Hsieh

Arthur Hsieh first came to MBCLA in April, 1984 when his father told him, "You've been so blessed in your life; you need to go to church and thank God." He surrendered his life to the Lord in the summer of '84, after graduating from South Pasadena High School, and was baptized that fall.

He began working with MBCLAcs youth in 1985 while in his first year in college and hasn't stopped since. Of the various ministries he's involved in, Total Devotion is his top priority. As TD's lead Bible teacher, his desire is to teach the Bible to TD'ers in a deep manner in hopes of building a God-saturated conscience and worldview within them.

Arthur is a Certified Financial Planner TM by vocation. He delights in being married to Sandra, and loves being a dad to Nathaniel, Randall, Daniel, and Angela.

Sandra Hsieh

Sandra Hsieh has been working with the high schoolers at MBCLA ever since she started coming in 1983. At the end of her junior year at South Pasadena High School, the Lord started to open her eyes to her total depravity and His even more sufficient grace. The scenario and life stages have changed but the process and revelation that He started in 1975 has not.

Her current stage in life is comprised of being a wife and mother. She serves, supervises and desires to train her 4 children: Nathaniel (12), Randall (10), Daniel (8), and Angela (5) according to the Word.

Frank Teng

Frank started coming to MBCLA as a sophomore in high school. As a student in Total Devotion, he came to know Christ during a summer retreat and has been seeking to make God the first priority in his life ever since.

Because of the growth and blessings he experienced through TD, Frank decided to serve as a counselor during his senior year at UCLA. Currently, he works in Irvine as a financial planner and is married to his college sweetheart, Kathy.

Kathy Teng

Kathy has been a TD counselor for 9 years. She began serving during her junior year at UCLA, where she majored in Psychology. After undergraduate school, she continued at UCLA in the graduate program to get her teaching credential and Masters in Education.

The year after she completed her studies, she got engaged and married to Frank. During all these changes in her life, she continued to serve in TD because of her love for the high schoolers.

Kathy has been an elementary school teacher now for 4 years and has been happily married for 2 1/2 years. Kathy has 20 kids, but they are all from her 3rd grade class, none of her own.

Anna Chao

Anna grew up at MBCLA and has served in TD as a counselor for the past 7 years. Her other ministries include, singing for the praise team, teaching Sunday school to 9th graders, singing for Heavenbound, and discipling 2 of the TD girls.

She just couldn't get enough of high school that she decided to be around high schoolers as long as she could. She currently works for World Savings as a loan officer and has been with the company for 4 years. Anna has a great love for pets and is most recently raising 2 golden retriever dogs name Justice and Sheba.(They're a handful! But so darn cute!) She also loves being outdoors in the sun. Especially beaches and anything that has to do with the water. She's a natural beach bum, hence the tan. Her dream would be visiting the exotic beaches in all different countries. She likes to live by the saying on one of her favorite t- shirts..."tan girls have more fun". On a side note, Anna is allergic to products containing SPF. When used, she will break out in hives.

Grace Chung

Grace has been helping out with TD for four years and is looking forward to what 2005/2006 will bring. She decided to help out with TD because the teaching she received at TD laid down a strong foundation that God used to anchor her faith. TD was also a place that she developed lasting friendships and found true fellowship. Grace also really enjoys hanging out with the high schoolers and she wants to be involved in their lives as they wrestle and grow in their faith. Her ministries in TD include prayer and inreach.

Currently, Grace is in her second year of pharmacy school (only two more to go!). If she's not studying, she's probably spending time with her family (she's an aunt five times now), spending time with friends, trying to be crafty, reading a good book, or drinking a Starbucks vanilla latte or a strawberry slush with lychee jelly. If she has time, you might see her on the tennis court or running around a track. But if she could do anything, she would be playing a game of Bop It, Speed Scrabble, Nertz, or Settlers of Catan.

Joan Teng

Joan graduated from SPHS in 1999 and went to sunny San Diego for school. She graduated in 2003 from UCSD with a B.A. in Human Development and a minor in Psychology.

Joan took a year off working at a really random job then decided to go and get her teaching credential at CSUN. She hopes to finish up in a semester or two and begin her job hunt again.

Although people keep calling Joan a swimmer, she hasn't really swam in 5 years unless you call wading at the beach swimming.

A few of Joan's favorite things are God, messages that make your brain hurt, caramel frappucinos, food, singing, crafts, Nichole Nordeman and the number 22
