Divine Direction: Damien Wang on Following God's Call in Career and Community
What happens when a successful solicitor receives an unexpected call about ministry? Damien Wang, Finance Manager and Ministry Partner at CRU, shares his journey from the legal profession into full-time ministry leadership, revealing insights about recognising God's direction amid professional success.
From challenging early years as an international student in Australia to discovering authentic Christian community, Damien opens up about the pivotal moments that shaped his path and the surprising discoveries he made about where he found genuine joy and purpose.
The conversation explores how organisations can maintain their mission focus across decades, the unique rewards of camp ministry, and what it means to develop emerging leaders through programs like CRU's Summit traineeship. We reflect on the courage required to step into something completely different and the balance between practical responsibilities and frontline ministry.
