Church Operations, Prayer and First Steps Ministry
God opened my eyes to His deep, gentle and compassionate love on January 30, 1978, through the ministry of Youth for Christ SG. My walk with Him is a long road of 3 steps forward and 5 steps back. God patiently brings me through the nooks and crannies of daily living…not all easy, definitely not pain-free but nothing wasted. I joined Carmel staff in February 2003 but took a step aside in 2009 and ventured into home renovations. I now find my head, heart, hands and feet deep in Church Operations, Administration and Prayer. I always enjoy discovering God’s handiwork in travels, spending time with friends, enjoying International cuisine, dancing and singing my heart out to Him! As I encounter the sights, sounds, smells, taste and touch, God is always showing me something about Himself, myself or others. He puts a song in my heart, a smile on my face and laughter in my soul. Life with God is never boring and as I live, I love, I laugh, and I learn!

Care Group (CG) Ministry and Family Ministry
The best news of my life is when Jesus revealed his grace and love to me in 1984. Not long after, I was called by my church into ministry leadership in 1990. Over here at Mount Carmel, I oversee the Care Group (CG) Ministry and the Family Ministry. Relationship is the key thing in both ministries. CG leaders can feel more supported through equipping and care for better engagement with their groups. In CGs with young children, we attempt to provide relevant help in programming and material recommendation for a more meaningful CG life. The Family Ministry is beginning to equip marriage mentors to strengthen marriages in church and in future, the community. In addition, I oversee the pre-marital course, solemnize weddings and plan the annual father-child camps. Some of my life interests include movies, delighting in God’s creation and savouring another culture’s delicacies. My tribe is tended by my vivacious wife, Sarah. We have two children, Letazia and Macarius. I know their names may be a mouthful for pronunciation, but they got good stories to back up their unique names! If you have a story to tell, my ears are trained and eager, drop me a note here: [email protected]
