Our Story
For over a decade David Wu has been training Christians in spiritual formation and spiritual direction, with a particular interest in serving leaders of diverse backgrounds. Over time, he observed that many of those who most needed spiritual direction or other formation services could not afford them or adapt their work schedules to participate.
During the Covid-19 global pandemic of 2020, ministries around the world had to pivot and make offerings available online. As the Online Ministry Director of Leadership Transformations at that time, David was already spearheading efforts to make virtual workshops, soul care retreats, and certificate programs accessible. Within just a few months of the pandemic, over a thousand registrations poured in from nearly every continent around the world to attend spiritual formation workshops and retreats. David recognized God was calling him to help make spiritual formation care and training more widely available to underserved people groups. Through the encouragement of his family and colleagues, God led David and Cindy to start Mosaic Formation in the summer of 2021.
In her personal life and experiences with leaders, Cindy was witnessing how easy it was to stop tending to one’s soul and burn out when doing humanitarian work. She felt God leading her to come alongside David in developing this ministry of both contemplation and action. The rapid growth of Mosaic and the mission to expand access to spiritual formation care and training made the invitation irresistible. In June 2022, Cindy left her mobilization role at a non-profit that welcomed refugees to join God in what he was doing through Mosaic Formation. Thankfully, through our non-profit she has been able to continue mobilizing Christians and strengthen our local network of refugee-focused organizations.
As Mosaic Formation was growing, we knew we needed an associate who was gifted in both spiritual formation ministry and technology, not always a natural combination! But we had the perfect person in mind, and in October 2023 Chrissy Chang was added to our staff as the Associate Director of Mosaic Network. God has also provided a stellar Board of Directors to help advise and guide Mosaic Formation. We are so humble and grateful for the wonderful team God has assembled for Mosaic Formation.
