Reverend Hua was born and raised in Beijing, China.  He was formerly an IT professional before going into ministry. He came to the United States in 1987 as a graduate student at the University of Iowa and finished with a PhD in computer science in 1992. During that time, he experienced a tragic campus shooting in 1991 and witnessed the love of Christ from the family of a victim. That brought him to Jesus Christ.

​

He worked in the computer industry for more than 10 years and was involved in various ministries of CCMC, the mother church of LWEC.  When he was called into full-time ministry, he first served in CCLife before he enrolled into Moody Bible Institute and received his Master of Divinity (MDiv). From 2007-2012, he served as the Chinese pastor of LWEC.  Since January 2013, he has been serving as the executive director in the Overseas Campus Ministries mission organization.

​

He and his wife, Dr. Linda Gao, have been married since 1982. They have a son, Leo Hua, and daughter-in-law, Cindy Yu, and a granddaughter, Aria Hua. He enjoys playing violin and table tennis.
