Daniel Loh is a visionary leader with a servant’s heart in ministry and missions. Since 2017, he has served as the Co-Director (Operations) of the United Bible Societies China Partnership (UBSCP), where he has led a cross-cultural team of over 20 staff members with diverse backgrounds and experiences. Daniel’s passion for God’s Word and unwavering dedication to serving the churches in China, has influenced the mission of translating, printing, distributing, engaging, and equipping believers, church leaders, and lay preachers with Bibles throughout the country.

Driven by a heart for Scripture, Daniel believes in making the Bible accessible to every believer, recognizing it as the cornerstone of transformation in individuals, families, and communities. His strategic vision has guided UBSCP to partner effectively with National and Provincial Churches in China, establishing programs that deepen Bible engagement and equipping pastors, lay leaders and seminary students with the Word of God. He has been instrumental in establishing training initiatives for pastors and lay preachers while advocating for the necessary financial and prayer support from Bible Societies worldwide.

Daniel’s leadership is characterized by vision, humility, and valuing relationships. He connects meaningfully with team members and partners, building trust and fostering a supportive community. “Daniel truly embodies Romans 12:15 - ‘Rejoice with those who rejoice, and weep with those who weep.’ He always celebrates our successes and is ready to lend a listening ear and pray with us during challenging times,” shares one team member. His servant-hearted leadership is further demonstrated in simple acts of care, such as preparing team lunches and stocking the office with coffee pods and chocolates to create a warm and loving atmosphere.

Daniel is a loving husband to his wife, Ning, and a devoted father to his two sons, Matthew and Timothy. The Loh family spent over a decade serving as missionaries in Chengdu, China, where they collectively experienced God’s faithfulness. His sons speak of him not only as a leader but as a hands-on father who balances work, ministry, and family life with grace and diligence.
