enriched since joining the Ministry and Mentoring (“M2”) Program in June 2015. We are glad that you are able to join us at Trinity@Paya Lebar in October 2015. How have you been blessed during your time here? We always look forward to our visits to Singapore, especially when it coincides with a weekend where we can come to Trinity Christian Centre. Since our first visit (to Life Conference) in June 2015, we have been extremely blessed with an extended spiritual family and more importantly, a prayer answered for a spiritual mentor in our lives. Pastor Janice and Pastor Wendy Chang made time to fellowship with us, taking us out for a delicious meal and sharing about God’s goodness in the missions field. They also offered words of encouragement about what He is doing in and through us. How has your ministry benefited from being involved in the M2 Program?

God spoke to us to go into the missions field when our son was still very young. Being in the missions field as a young family is a challenge. Not only would we have to adjust to a new environment – a foreign language and a different culture – we have to do so while taking care of a small child. However, we knew that if God called us, He would also equip us.

We continue to use these principles to ensure that our decisions are aligned to the vision that God has given us. Where do you see God taking your ministry in the next 5-10 years? Quite honestly, we left Malaysia with the expectation to return to our professional jobs after a year (or two) of doing missions work in Cambodia. However, God revealed that He has other plans for our lives. During our time of training, we learned to trust God 100 percent, even when it felt like we were wandering in the wilderness. Our (spiritual) ears have become more in tune to His voice and our faith has grown. Doors opened for us to relocate to Sabah for another ministry
