My name is Bohui Zhang and I usually go by Chris. I came to Duke in 2017 for graduate school studying biostatistics and have been working as a biostatistician for clinical trials since 2019. Me and my wife, Yoyo, both come from China and actually met on the plane to the U.S. We got married in 2024 and have two cats.

I didn’t grow up in a Christian family and I learned the gospel from my grandmother. I’ve always believed in God but only attended church occasionally back in China. When I came to Duke, I joined a Chinese church and decided to get baptized there. I was introduced to Blacknall in 2019 by a friend and felt immediately welcomed.

I’ve only come to Blacknall on Sundays for the past few years, but last May I decided to fully devote to the Lord and became a member at Blacknall. Since then, I’ve been praying for more involvement at the church and I am grateful that God answered my prayer through this deacon opportunity so that I can know more about Blacknall and better serve its people.
