Rev. Dr. Jachin Yin Man Chan was born in Chungshan County, Guangdong province, China, on July 27th, 1932. He was the eldest among seven brothers and sisters. Since his father, Mr. Chan Kwok Yin, passed away when he was a young man, he bore the responsibility of being a father to his family. He fulfilled his filial duties by doing all he could to take care of his mother and siblings.  When his mother passed away on November 9th, 1993, Rev. Dr. Chan planned his mother’s funeral with patience and strength.
