Florian & Veronica Weicken
Zürich, Switzerland
REVEREND FLORIAN WEICKEN is the church planter of Zürich Presbyterianische Gemeinde - Presbyterian Church of Zurich, Switzerland which was sent out by the All Saints Presbyterian Church of Newcastle, England, part of the EPCEW (Evangelical Presbyterian Church in England & Wales). He is currently leading a monthly Bible study and has established a core group for the new church plant. Florian is originally from eastern Switzerland, and is married to Veronica, from Scotland.
After his military service and officers training in the Swiss Air Force, he completed a B.Sc. in Business Law. After earning his degree, he took a year of personal study at Edinburgh Theological Seminary. Shortly after working for a few years in Switzerland, Mr. Weicken completed his MDiv at Westminster Presbyterian Theological Seminary, in conjunction with Greenville Presbyterian Theological Seminary in South Carolina.
Florian is currently working on a MA in Christian Theology at Durham University, in Northern England while setting up the church plant in Zürich - the city of Huldrych Zwingli and Henry Bullinger. The former is one of the first Reformers who introduced the concept of lectio continua in preaching. The latter was the first who defined Covenantal Theology.
Mark & Jane Kuo
Taipei, Taiwan
MARK AND JANE KUO and their five children are from Taiwan, their two youngest being born in South Carolina. After 8 years of college ministry in Taiwan, the Kuos moved to the U.S. in the summer of 2018 for Mark to attend Greenville Presbyterian Theological Seminary with the intention of returning to Taiwan for church planting.
While enjoying religious freedom and social stability, only 3.3% of the Taiwanese population are evangelical Christians. Reformed churches are few and most are small.
It is Mark’s desire to pastor and plant healthy Reformed churches through the preaching and teaching of the Word, shepherding, discipleship, evangelism, and leadership training.
Mark graduated with his Master of Divinity in early 2022. In February of 2023 Mark, Jane, and their five kids safely arrived in Taiwan. Currently Mark is helping with church planting in Taiwan, continues raising financial support for the mission work there, has just recently been ordained in Calvary Presbytery, and is studying for a Master of Theology at Puritan Seminary.
