Josie Leung,
Global Impact Coordinator
josie@worshipfoundations.com
Josie is an ABC (American Born Chinese), and like all good first generation Chinese kids, she took music lessons from before she can remember. She had no idea the 14 years of classical training, tests, recitals, and pleas to be allowed to quit could be foundational for so much joy! After years of short-term mission ventures as a youth/children’s ministry leader, pseudo English teacher, and cooking instructor imposter, she connected with WFI in 2008 and went with them on a Global Impact trip to India and SE Asia. The combination of music and mission was a perfect fit, so she joined WFI full time in 2009. Josie is currently a member of a local church in La Puente, California, where she is serving in music ministries, helping with youth short-term missions, and learning how to be an ultimate ninja.
