Diana Sun

Diana has been a Standing Stone Field Shepherd since 2020. She helps female pastors, pastors’ wives as well as missionaries work through past trauma, family of origin issues and ongoing ministry struggles.

Diana was born in Taipei, Taiwan and grew up in Northern California. After receiving her bachelor’s degree from UC Berkeley, Diana worked in the non-profit world in San Francisco for 3 years before sensing God’s call to receive Bible training for vocational ministry. She moved to Southern California and enrolled in Talbot Seminary where she majored in Pastoral Counseling. Upon graduating with an M.A., Diana stayed at Biola University as an adjunct faculty member and director of Biola’s BOLD program Orange County campus.

During her time at Biola, Diana got married to her husband Cary and they made a home in Orange County. After almost 3 years working with the BOLD program, Diana decided to quit her career and devote herself to be a full-time mom. They are now blessed with two grown children – a son and a daughter, both of whom have chosen vocational ministry as their career path.

Diana believes God’s timing is always perfect. While she stepped away from a career, God used those years to prepare and grow her to come back serving as a Standing Stone Shepherd. Whether it was lessons learned in parenting, grieving the loss of loved ones, painful experience with church leadership, or even dealing with cancer…etc., she now sees that God never wastes a hurt and uses each trial for His purpose and glory. Today, she comes alongside women going through similar trials by comforting them with the same comfort she received from God. Through Standing Stone Ministry, she finds herself right in the middle of where God wants her – using her training, passion, experiences to shepherd ministers, helping each of them overcome obstacles and on the pathway to become healthy ministers so they can transform their communities for Jesus.
