My name is Cliff. I am a father of two, a Chinese Canadian and currently residing in Singapore. I followed Jesus when I was 25. If you like to read more about my story, you can find it at (About Cliff).
When it comes to following Jesus, there are two things I am passionate about. They are missions and discipleship.
Missions
My wife and I traveled to various nations doing short-term missions. We also embarked on a long-term mission where we stayed in Uganda for one year.
I love to talk about missions, do missions and I am thankful for being part of His Mission.
Discipleship
Discipleship is not a classroom or a course. Rather, it is understanding what it means to follow Jesus.
Putting them together
I realized that mission and discipleship are intertwined. You can’t have one without the other.
I have counselled many students as they have questions about what it means to follow Jesus and how to be part of His Mission. I can’t say I have all the answers but I hope I can impart wisdom from our experiences on and off the field.
Why A webinar?
I have met many students who have questions about these two topics. I asked myself, “why don’t I start a webinar on missions and discipleship?” It will be called the Audience of One. The One, is of course, Jesus Christ, and that’s the only person we should seek approval from in our lives.
The webinar will be once a week where I focus on one topic for 45 min. It will be Biblically-based (so bring your Bible book or app). It will be an interactive session where you can ask questions and I like to hear your thoughts and opinions as well.
Some of the questions I will discuss include:
- What is missions?
- Can I be a good Christian if I don’t do missions?
- Why do we need to go when there is so much work that is needed in Singapore (or wherever you are)?
- How can I do missions when I have no skills, talents, or money?
- What can I do when I am stuck in school?
- What if my parents/siblings/relatives/girlfriend/boyfriend say no?
- What if it is dangerous?
- How do I know what God wants me to do? (discern His will)
- How can I help the poor when the problem is so big?
- How can I go when I am still single?
- Is it a sin to use online dating app?
- How far is too far (in a relationship)?
- Can God put me with someone I am not attracted to physically?
I am planning to run two sessions, one on Thurs evening and one on Sun afternoon. It will start on Aug 13th and run for two months. If you are interested, please fill the form below.
