“Over the years of coaching basketball together, I’ve had the privilege of witnessing Chia’s character both on and off the court. He has been an incredible accountability partner, faithful friend, and wise coach in my life. More than anything, his genuine faith in Jesus has deeply impacted me and the way I lead and serve others. After deeply knowing him through many seasons of life and ministry together, I can confidently say I would recommend Chia ten times over.”
- Kenny Beacham (Missionary in Croatia)

Chia Ashton has been a mentor in my life since I was in elementary school. Over the years, he has given me advice and wisdom that has stayed with me and continues to shape how I live today. He has supported me through some of the most difficult seasons of my life, always taking the time to listen, encourage, and provide thoughtful feedback.

One of Chia’s greatest strengths is his ability to genuinely listen and offer guidance that is both practical and meaningful. His many years of leadership and coaching in our community have helped develop his strong character, integrity, and ability to invest in others. Through these experiences, he has gained the wisdom and skills to effectively support and guide those who need encouragement and direction.

Chia has played a significant role in shaping the person I am today. Without a doubt, his influence has been more than just positive—it has been life-changing.
- Akash Toor (Former Player and Basketball Coach)

Chia has been a great mentor, leader, and friend for nearly 25 years. One of the many character traits that stands out about him is his genuine desire to make a difference in the lives of others. I have experienced this firsthand, and it has positively shaped the type of coach and leader I have become.

I am deeply grateful for my relationship with Chia and for the example he has set as a man of faith, a great husband, father, and a leader in the community.
