If you see her around the conference, please introduce yourself, and if you have a cat, please have a picture of your cat ready to share!

Henry was born in Taiwan and grew up an atheist and evolutionist. After moving to Costa Rica at the age of 12 and to Toronto at the age of 15, he heard the gospel. As his many doubts and questions were answered one by one, the truth dawned on him- there is a God, and He is the God of the Bible. Contrary to other worldviews, Christianity is based on solid scientific, historical, and archaeological evidence. Henry graduated from the University of Toronto Medical School and works as a family doctor. He preaches and teaches apologetics regularly at several churches and fellowships, and especially treasures the opportunity to lead workshops at TC. He is looking forward to answering your hard questions!

Will Lee is a work in progress. He is married, but he isn't the consummate husband. He has children, but he isn't the ideal father. He is a pastor, but he isn't the greatest shepherd. His greatest quality is found in Christ, who is his all in all.
