On this episode of Ten Talents, Keith Koo speaks with Tina Teng-Henson, a sent missionary through DEO Works, hospice chaplain, full-time parent, and ministry leader whose journey of faith spans prestigious halls and pressing human needs. From serving with InterVarsity Christian Fellowship at Harvard to full-time ministry leadership in California churches, Tina shares how her calling has taken her through academia, chaplaincy, parenting, and now community mobilization.
