TAN
A Christian Altruist in the United States
Tan (one legal name like “Troilus” or “Neo”) 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.

“The Lord is my light and my salvation - whom shall I fear? The Lord is the stronghold of my life - of whom shall I be afraid? When the wicked advance against me to devour me, it is my enemies and my foes who will stumble and fall. Though an army besiege me, my heart will not fear; though war break out against me, even then I will be confident. One thing I ask from the Lord, this only do I seek: that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to gaze on the beauty of the Lord and to seek Him in His temple. For in the day of trouble He will keep me safe in His dwelling; He will hide me in the shelter of His sacred tent and set me high upon a rock. Then my head will be exalted above the enemies who surround me; at His sacred tent I will sacrifice with shouts of joy; I will sing and make music to the Lord. Hear my voice when I call, Lord; be merciful to me and answer me. My heart says of You, “Seek His face!” Your face, Lord, I will seek. Do not hide Your face from me, do not turn Your servant away in anger; You have been my helper. Do not reject me or forsake me, God my Savior. Though my father and mother forsake me, the Lord will receive me. Teach me Your way, Lord; lead me in a straight path because of my oppressors. Do not turn me over to the desire of my foes, for false witnesses rise up against me, spouting malicious accusations. I remain confident of this: I will see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living. Wait for the Lord; be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord.”
