Pastor James He

Pastor James He passed away at his home in Indianapolis surrounded by family on October 25, 2017 from advanced stage lung cancer. He was 42.

James was born to his loving parents He WenBiao and Zhang RuiJu in ErLan Village, YongSheng, Yunnan, China on July 14, 1975. He graduated from ChuXiong Teacher’s College with an English Teaching degree.
With great joy, he married Kristen in 2005. He graduated with highest honors from the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary in 2010 with a Master’s of Divinity.
James put his faith in Christ as a young man and dedicated his life to the cause of Christ among the Chinese. He planted and pastored numerous churches throughout Western Yunnan, China. Introducing others to his Savior Jesus Christ and teaching them to live in obedience to Christ was his greatest joy.
