Unlearn
Before I did my first triathlon, I went online and asked others for help. The forums were filled with ‘wisdom’ and lots and lots of to do lists for the first-timer. Some say you have to bring a bucket filled with water so you can get the sand off of your feet after your swim. […]

The sure way to finish strong in Christ
A photo posted by Generations Youth Ministry (@generationssg) on Nov 4, 2016 at 7:55pm PDT Wai Jia and I had the opportunity to preach at Generations, Cornerstone Community Church’s Youth Service, before we returned to Canada.

Joy in Obedience
It has been a while since I blog. In fact, our times in Uganda and now back in Singapore have been quiet on the blog front. On my desktop there are many word docs saved. Each doc is a blog post which I started but never finished. I am now 36 and moving quickly into […]

Given that Singapore is well developed, you would think it was easy for me to transit, right? Unfortunately, my experience was far from smooth. My […]
A Lesson on Obeying Godly Authority
This week is the first week our Bible School is starting classes for 2015. It is a joy to see some new faces and old faces (from last year’s class). Wai Jia and I spent a considerable time this week teaching on leadership and what it means to be a good ministers. The students attending […]
I didn’t even have a fork
Tam Wai Jia wrote a very good piece entitled, “I Didn’t Even Have a Fork.” It is about a lady from the church we attended in Uganda. From living on the streets, her life is restored through the care of the local pastor. Sometimes we don’t know the effect we have when we lend a […]
