About

Khee-Vun, Lin

Khee-Vun Lin is currently the principal and tutor for theology, practical ministry, and mission studies at the Anglican Training Institute (ATI). Lin studied theology at Malaysia Bible Seminary, Trinity College, Bristol, UK, and Fuller Theological Seminary, USA. He was a Software Engineer before entering into fulltime ministry.

Lin is the founder principal of the ATI. He has been invited to speak at various conferences on a variety of theological and missiological topics. His research focus has been on practical theology, specializing in mission theology and its intersection with politics. The insight of his study is broadly reflected in his recently published book, “Dialogue of Life” (published by Langham, 2020).

Lin is an Anglican minister and a Canon in the Diocese of Sabah. He has been involved in church ministry for more than 30 years, including a stint as a pastor for ten years at Petaling Jaya, Selangor, leading a church to grow nearly threefold in membership. His experiences in church ministry have served to ground his theological research in the practicality of the local situation. His ability to conduct talks and lectures in English, Chinese (Mandarin, Cantonese, Hakka), and Malay has allowed him to minister in different contexts.
