Peter Ong went into community work in the early nineties, working at Asian Cinevision as their program director, and later served as Director at the Asian American Writers’ Workshop from 1997 to 1999. He continued community work at the Chinese Christian Herald Crusades’ Herald Youth Center. There, he felt compelled to serve the Chinese immigrant community as a youth worker and later became the Youth Center’s Director.

During that time, he and his wife, Jamie, planted King’s Cross Church, a congregation of Living Faith Community Church, serving downtown Flushing’s immigrant families. He also served as City to City’s Catalyst Leader to network and coach new church planters. In addition to being the Ministry Director at Living Faith Community Church, he is an advocate for CarePortal, by connecting churches and community members with families in need.
