Peng Sawng Thang

Peng Sawng Thang傳道出生於緬甸的山地部落。他的父親是一名牧師，所以他有幸在一個基督徒家庭長大。多年來他逃避全職事奉。 之後，他終於聽從主的呼召，前往韓國進修道學碩士。2015年，主為 Sawng打開了另一扇門，讓他來到美國的達拉斯神學院學習。在神學院裏，他遇到了Courtney並與她結為夫婦。在2020年獲得神學碩士（ThM）學位後，Sawng和Courtney搬到了喬治亞州，住在靠近Courtney家人的地方。2020年11月，他們的第一個孩子Benaiah出生了。2021年9月，Sawng帶著家人搬回達拉斯，住到靠近神學院和緬甸朋友居住的社區。Sawng對青少年人有負擔，開始服事青少年人，特別是1.5代和第2代的學生們。他2022年五月開始恩友堂青少年的服事。他喜愛和家人一起在戶外歡度時光，足球和閱讀則是他最喜歡的兩種休閑活動。

Pastor Peng Sawng Thang was born in the hilltribes of Myanmar. His father was a pastor, so he had the privilege of growing up in a Christian home. After a few years of avoiding formal ministry, he finally heeded the Lord’s calling and went to South Korea to study for his Masters of Divinity. In 2015, the Lord opened another door for Sawng to come to the States to study at DTS. While at seminary, he met and married his wife Courtney. After receiving his ThM in 2020, Sawng and Courtney moved to Georgia to be near Courtney’s family. In November of 2020, their first child, Benaiah, was born. In Sept 2021, the Thangs moved back to the Dallas area to be near community, both friends from seminary and the Burmese community. Sawng has a passion for serving among youth, particularly 1.5 and 2nd generation students. He begins serving as a youth pastor from May, 2022. He loves to spend time outside with his family, and soccer and reading are two of his favorite ways to relax.
