2024-2025 CHISTA-USA

CHISTA is the Overseas Chinese Students Evangelical Association, established in Korea in 2010 with support from KOSTA (Overseas Korean Students Evangelical Association). It was introduced to the United States in 2023. Around 270 attendees joined CHISTA 2024, and around 235 attendees joined CHISTA 2025 in the United States.

From 2024-2025, to support CHISTA USA, which is still in its early stages of development, Bedrock Foundation approved funding of $17,449.40, aligned with the Dao Feng and Angela Foundation’s funding of $40,566.83, to sponsor the core competitive aspects of the project: travel expenses for the core stage management professional volunteers and praise team from South Korea and other countries. Meanwhile, Bedrock Foundation worked with Dao Feng and Angela Foundation to provide match-giving to encourage local fundraising awareness and efforts, and sponsored a debriefing meeting in Pittsburgh. All these efforts aimed to enhance the team’s collaborative awareness and governance capabilities, reinforcing the evangelistic work philosophy that “governance is an important component of truth.”
