TAN
A Christian Altruist in the United States
Tan (one legal name like “Joan” or “Perpetua”) is a Christ-centered altruist and former international 40 Under 40 nominee (Ecclesiastes 1:14) who left behind worldly success at a young age to pursue God's purpose in his generation. Along the way, the Lord opened unexpected new doors, introduced him to key individuals (Proverbs 22:29), and performed miracles in his life beyond anything he could have imagined. This amazing odyssey began with the simple Prayer of Jabez and nothing has been the same since. Through it all, he remains grounded and dedicated to serving others, recognizing that his successes are ultimately thanks to God's grace and guidance.
Some additional fun tidbits: He has two differently colored eyes (brown and blue). He does not swear or curse - an impactful decision he made in elementary school that he has upheld ever since. Recognizing the profound spiritual dimensions of financial stewardship, he has never used Netflix, instead prioritizing his resources toward worthy causes that he believes make a positive moral and spiritual impact. He has read and explored the contents of about five thousand books (though in the grand scheme of things, this is not particularly extensive, especially given his avoidance of time-consuming distractions). At age 14, he published his own variety magazine and hosted his own cable television show. As a descendant of Mayflower pioneers, he carries within him a legacy intertwined with America's history - proudly tracing his roots to two U.S. Presidents and one of the nation's most revered Founding Fathers. Finally, he becomes quite troubled if he ever accidentally forgets to capitalize references to God, and he’ll go to great lengths, even employing creative maneuvers, to turn those pesky lowercase letters into capitals.

“And Solomon went up thither to the brasen altar before the Lord, which was at the tabernacle of the congregation, and offered a thousand burnt offerings upon it. In that night did God appear unto Solomon, and said unto him, Ask what I shall give thee. And Solomon said unto God, Thou hast shewed great mercy unto David my father, and hast made me to reign in his stead. Now, O Lord God, let thy promise unto David my father be established: for thou hast made me king over a people like the dust of the earth in multitude. Give me now wisdom and knowledge, that I may go out and come in before this people: for who can judge this thy people, that is so great? And God said to Solomon, Because this was in thine heart, and thou hast not asked riches, wealth, or honour, nor the life of thine enemies, neither yet hast asked long life; but hast asked wisdom and knowledge for thyself, that thou mayest judge my people, over whom I have made thee king: Wisdom and knowledge is granted unto thee; and I will give thee riches, and wealth, and honour, such as none of the kings have had that have been before thee, neither shall there any after thee have the like."
