Ellen was born, in Zambales, Philippines. She started attending ECC in 1994, where she prayed to receive the Lord Jesus at the leading of an Evangelism Explosion team and was discipled by a kind-hearted spiritual mother. She was later baptized and began attending the Filipino fellowship meetings at the YMCA. She sensed God's calling right after conversion. In response to God's call to fulltime ministry, she enrolled at Asian Theological Seminary, in Manila Philippines. She finished her Master of Arts in Christian Education. In 1998, she joined the ChinaTEAM staff and in 2000, became the first Filipino Ministry associate director at ECC. She returned to the Philippines in 2006, married Salvador, and joined him to start Bago Aplaya Community Ministries (BACM) in Davao City. Ten years later, she is back at ECC with her husband, Salvador, and only son, Matthew Adrell, who is 9 years old.

Nikky joined the ECC staff team as the Youth Ministry Coordinator in March of 2017. She was born and raised in Hong Kong, and moved to Canada at the age of 13, where she completed high school and university there. Although she was not raised in a Christian home, God has begun His good work in her life since childhood as she attended a Christian school and learned about the faith.

Through her teenage years, despite claiming to be a Christian herself, her heart and desires were far from God. She was simply concerned with her own agenda and how to achieve a ‘successful life’. By God’s grace, He drew her back and gripped her heart with the Gospel during her second year in university. Having wrestled through the pressing issues that youths often face, she’s since then loved to serve and walk alongside with these young people, desiring for them to come to a living faith in Christ, and to see for themselves the glory and beauty of the Gospel.
