Daniel G. C. Wu [1883-April 6, 1956], Pioneer Church planter for Asian Americans, came to the United States from China in 1907 and was ordained to the priesthood in 1913. He founded True Sunshine Chinese Mission and the Church of Our Savior, both in the San Francisco area. Wu’s ministry with Chinese immigrants helped form devout, worshiping communities and also eased their passage into the New World.
from Holy Women, Holy Men
Loving God, we give thanks for Daniel Wu and his work among the Chinese immigrants whose lives he touched in his day: By the power of your Holy Spirit give to your Church compassion and respect for all people wherever they reside, that, inspired by your love, every community might be filled with your wisdom and call forth leaders to guide your flock in faithfulness to the Eternal Word, Jesus Christ; who with you and the Holy Spirit lives and reigns, one God, now and for ever. Amen.
