Li-En Andrew Tai

Li-En Andrew Tai戴禮恩牧師像安德烈一樣,有帶領人的恩賜。 過去多年來,藉著他在人脈和理念上的連接,對芝加哥基督華人教會及其他機構的目標擬定大有助益。 他對大使命的激情策動他立志要成為宣教飛行員。 然而神將他的計劃先擱置,讓他經由在摩托羅拉,Deloitte, ABN AMRO,及其他公司的歷練進入國際貿易的領域。但是靈火繼續在他心中燃燒。幾年以後,在他就要接受一間大型教會邀約進人牧者團隊前,神引導他回到父親牧養的教會支援神對芝加哥基督華人教會完成“一萬精英,五百事業家”的大任。戴禮恩牧師當前的追求是“把神帶進職場”。 就像安德烈把人帶到耶穌基督面前一樣,並使人互相和好。

戴禮恩目前任職方舟村有限公司(Villark Ventures, LLC)首席運營官,該公司推動職場上的一萬五百。他是伊利諾州香檳大學商學學士,並畢業於葡萄園聖經神學院。他擁有商業飛行執照及飛機修護執照。 與妻子Amy及三個孩子Sidney, Chloe, Charis居住在芝加哥地區。

Pastor Li-En Tai brings people together like the Disciple Andrew.  Over the years, he has connected in people and ideas that have shaped the direction of the CASC* church and other organizations.  His passion for the Great Commission spurred him on to become a missionary pilot.  However, God put that plan on hold and trained him up in the international business world through companies like Motorola, Deloitte, ABN AMRO and others.  But God’s fire continued to burn in his heart.  Years later, when Pastor Li-En was about to accept an offer to join a mega church’s pastoral team, God direct him to return to support his father in completing the 10,500 mandate at CASC*.  Pastor Li-En’s current pursuit is to “bring God into companies”.  Just like Andrew, his passion is to bring people to Jesus Christ and to one another.

Li-En is presently COO at Villark Ventures, a company pursuing the 10,500 in the marketplace.  He has a business degree from the University of Illinois, Champaign and graduated from the Vineyard’s theology school, Vineyard Bible Institute.  He holds a commercial pilot’s license and an aircraft mechanic’s license. He lives his wife Amy three children Sidney, Chloe and Charis in the Chicago area.
