My Story
Growing up in a Chinese Folk religion background, it was God's grace that I received Christ in Fairfield Methodist Secondary School at age 15 after watching the Jesus Film. The Lord began to deliver me from gambling and sexual addictions and gave me a new purpose in life. I began to grow and serve actively in Campus Crusade for Christ (Cru) during my 3 years at the National University of Singapore. I received the call to Ministry upon graduation in 1999. I went to Assemblies of God Bible College and graduated with a Master of Theological Studies while serving God full-time. In 2005, I also graduated with a Graduate Diploma in Social Work from NUS and used to volunteer actively with youths-at-risk.
From 2010-2021, I joined Grace Assembly of God and have served as Head of Next Generation Ministries and Head of Discipleship. In 2018, I received my Doctorate of Ministry on Missional Church from Fuller Theological Seminary. In Oct 2021, I was invited to join Maranatha Christian Assembly and took over as Senior Pastor in Aug 2022. I am just amazed at how God can call and use me despite my many inadequacies as a pastor. I am honored and humbled to serve together with the good people at Maranatha. I am passionate about teaching and preaching God's Word and Gospel for life transformation. I am trained in Advance Certificate in Adult Learning and am a Certified Performance Leadership Coach. I am also a regular adjunct lecturer at ACTS Bible college.
I am married to my lovely wife Geok Hong and blessed with 3 teenage kids, Isabelle, Iris and Isaiah. My hobbies include fishing, Xbox gaming and playing with our dog, Hippo.
