XF CHRIS HENG

President

Christopher Heng is not Hmong. Let’s just get that one out of the way. He might as well be, though, as he has been serving Hmong Churches for over 23 years. Chris was born to Chinese parents in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, although his mother is from Great Britain… confusing, he knows. He grew up in Littleton, Colorado, and then went to Bethel College in St. Paul, MN with a BA in Social Work. After getting married in 2002, he and his wife moved to Twin Cities Hmong Baptist Church and worked with the youth for 3 ½ years. In 2007, Chris became the pastor of Twin Cities HBC and has served there for the past fourteen years. Chris is no stranger to Standing Stones as he has taught workshops and tracks, was one of the main speakers in 2014, and served as the Staff Advisor for five years. Today, Chris hopes that his time as President will open up opportunities for each camper to surrender to Jesus for the first time, grow in their faith, or take their next step in obedience toward ministry. He has two wonderful children: Coraline (age 12) and Zephan (age 8).

ESHA LEE

Public Relations

Esha Lee is the current Public Relations Director. Although designing isn't her forte, photography is (sorta)! Esha attends First Hmong Baptist Church of Albemarle (pronounced alby-mall) in North Carolina. She is serving in the Youth Lead and Children's Ministry Director position. Standing Stones has always had a special place in her heart as it is also where she felt God calling her out of her old life. Her journey since then has been of both roses and thorns but He continues to create a beautiful garden in her life. Esha goes to Wingate University with a major in Accounting and a minor in Educational Studies. Although she's the only girl on the staff, all the members make her feel welcomed so it's lots of fun! In her free time, she enjoys working out and trying new dishes!
