Pastor Bin was born in Sichuan and attended college in Wuhan and Beijing, China. In 1999, he moved to the US for his doctoral studies at the University of Michigan Medical School. During his time there, he accepted Jesus Christ as his Savior and Lord through the campus ministry of the Ann Arbor Chinese Christian Church. In 2003, he relocated to Seattle, where he became a research associate at the Howard Hughes Medical Institute at the University of Washington. He then worked as a research fellow funded by a grant from the American Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. Between 2007 and 2014, he became a serial entrepreneur in the information technology sector.

Upon his arrival in Seattle, Bin started worshipping and serving at the Evangelical Chinese Church (ECC), first at its Seattle campus, then at its Redmond campus. He began his seminary training at Dallas Theological Seminary (DTS) in 2012 and, following a series of remarkable events, he was called into pastoral ministry at ECC in 2015. He completed his master’s degree at DTS in 2017 and was ordained as a pastor in 2019.

Pastor Bin is happily married to Zhuolin. Together they have three children: a son named Joseph, and two daughters, Rebecca and Annabelle.
