Gospel on Strings – Shang Quan

Shang Quan – Christian Musician & Violinist

Born in Beijing and now based in Brisbane, Shang Quan is a Christian musician and performing violinist.

Gifted with natural talent and fuelled by tireless dedication, he rose to become the concertmaster of a national orchestra at a young age. Dreaming of an international career as a soloist, he later moved to Australia to pursue further studies, juggling part-time work and school. During a particularly difficult season, he recalled his mother’s heartfelt advice:

“When you face hardship overseas, be sure to go to church.”

He soon received his first English Bible from a university fellowship mentor and offered his very first prayer. That moment marked a turning point — God transformed his life and eased his struggles. After coming to faith, he surrendered his life to God and began walking a path of purpose. For over 20 years, he has faithfully shared the love and salvation of Christ through powerful, soul-touching music.

🎻 Shang Quan’s Music Ministry:

  • Christian Music Production
    He has produced seven Christian violin albums, touching and inspiring countless hearts through sacred melodies.
  • Media-Based Evangelism
    Through YouTube and other social media platforms, he shares his music and the love of Christ. Many have come to faith through these online encounters.
  • Global Music Evangelism
    Shang Quan has held thousands of music outreach events across Europe, Asia, USA, and Oceania.
    The World Journal (USA) described his performances as:

“Filled with the richness of God’s presence — many listeners feel deeply moved by the Holy Spirit.”

  • Public Benefit & Charity Work
    He lives out Christ’s love through charitable concerts — raising funds for causes such as the Wenchuan earthquake relief, children with cataracts or leukemia, impoverished students in remote areas, and elderly individuals living alone.

🎧 Recommended listening: Mission (使命) — one of Shang Quan’s signature musical works that captures his heart for God and the world.

Full-time Disciple – Stone Lee

Wai Leung Lee (affectionately known as “Stone”) responded to God’s calling & went to Thailand with wholehearted obedience—faithfully playing his part as a midfielder who passes the “ball” (gospel) and as a coach who mentors others. He deeply understands that both his identity as a disciple (Being) and his actions in that role (Doing) are equally essential. As Stone once reflected during the HKD 80 million school building project: “I now have nothing to lose.” That, in fact, is the greatest strength of a full-time disciple: no turning back, total commitment, bold steps into uncharted territory—pressing forward to claim victory for the Lord.
