Working Experience
Dr. Rath enjoys enabling others to solve intercultural and educational problems through critical and creative thinking techniques. He teaches negotiation, public speaking, how to use open-source software (such as OpenOffice, Linux and Moodle), and a number of English language focused courses (composition, speed reading, and conversation).
Family
Dr. Rath is married and has two boys. He currently attends a Chinese church in Taipei where he teaches a course on The Gospel of Luke and advises a group of young professionals--the Sunflowers.
Others
He hopes that sharing his talents will encourage others to believe in Christ. “After all, what gives us hope and joy, and what is our proud reward and crown? It is you! Yes, you will bring us much joy as we stand together before our Lord Jesus when he comes back again.” (1 Thessalonians 2:19, NLT).
