Choir Conductor
Daniel Yu

Daniel Yu has been a piano teacher and church pianist in various churches in Hong Kong since he was 14. He immigrated to Canada at the age of 16, as has served in various capacities in his home church. While studying theology courses at the former Ontario Bible College, there was a need to start an English-speaking service at a nearby church in Chinatown. Daniel took some conducting courses and has been serving as a pianist and conductor ever since. As a former choir conductor at the Toronto Chinese Baptist Church and later Scarborough Chinese Baptist Church, his preference for ministry is where it is most needed. It is the Lord's divine provision that leads him to serve in this congregation and community. 

余國威出生在香港，14歲開始當鋼琴老師，也在幾個教會担任司琴一職原因那個時代極其缺乏司琴。16歲移民加拿大。大學畢業後由於當時唐人街教會發展英語事工，余國威在安省聖經學院學習指揮，以後便在多倫多華人浸信會和士嘉堡華人浸信會擔任司琴和指揮一職。選擇侍奉崗位就是看那裏最有需要。感謝主帶領到這一個教會，願榮耀歸於上帝。
