Born and grown up in Hong Kong, Samuel studied urban planning in university after migrated to Canada. Having worked briefly at the provincial Ministry of Municipal Affairs and the planning department of a suburban town in the Greater Toronto Area, he was admitted into seminary for his MDiv, and then served as a pastor at a suburban Chinese Alliance Church in Toronto for near 10 years. He has long been interested in topics such as consumerism and integral mission. Also with his background in environmental studies, he is paying close attention to various environmental issues and public affairs. Later, Samuel moved to Vancouver for Regent College, in pursuit of a deeper understanding about the entangled relations between modern Christian faith and consumerism. There he met A Rocha, a global family of natural conservation organizations with Christian ethos and theological conviction, felt excited about Christians in Canada and around the world already getting involved in care for God’s creation. This is his long held passion, and so in 2011 he very naturally joined A Rocha Canada’s team, reaching out to the churches in Canada, meanwhile, helping the A Rocha International Team with his part-time roles coordinating the East Asia Project (pre-2020) and involving in the Global Programme on Theology and Church for the Asian-Pacific regions (since 2022).

Samuel is a licensed Official Worker (Special Ministry) at The Alliance Canada (a.k.a. C&MA in Canada) since 2016.

In recent years, because of an increasing interest and concerns over climate change, Samuel took up related training provided by various platforms, including the Climate Reality Project, Certificate on Public Policy Analysis at London School of Economics (LSE), the Professional Certificates on The IUCN Global Standard for Nature-based Solutions ^TM, and Nature for Cities at IUCN Academy. He also plays a major role, on behalf of A Rocha and in partnership with various international Christian ministries, in the initiation and ongoing operations and leadership of these two climate-related ministry projects – Christian Climate Observers Program and Climate Intercessors. In the last two years, he has been helping the planning, design, and involving in leadership at the A Rocha Climate Change Programme.
