Former Head of Civil Service Lim Siong Guan shares his thoughts on what it means to be a leader and how leadership in the house of God should look like.
I have been married for more than ten years and have a child about 5 years old. For many years, I have tolerated my husband’s anti-social behaviour and fixed ways. In the past, we visited a few churches, eventually settled down for a few years in a church and even served together in ministry.
Flourish began in 2011 as a simple women’s ministry passion project, sparked by a Mother’s Day gift made by hand. What started as one act of love has since grown into a redemptive movement, empowering disadvantaged women in Cambodia through dignified work in crochet and sewing.
Life can be very unpredictable and some may say unfair. This is especially so when things outside our control happen to us. This includes being born with a disability or into a family where the level of care falls short. Or being betrayed by someone we trust. Or being in the wrong place at the wrong time when hit by a crime. When we find ourselves in such circumstances, we feel like a victim.
The first-ever CAC Special Needs Ministry Conference called for church leaders and members to reimagine what it means to be a disability-inclusive church.

In a world saturated with so many channels of mass communication and advertising, there are many voices telling us—either directly or subtly—what we need, what we should do, what our value is and who we are. Our identity is constantly bombarded and questioned, but there is one who is firm on who he is.
My daughter went through a traumatic experience a few years ago because a friend abused her trust. She did not share about the incident with me or my wife. We realised something was wrong one day when we saw that she had cut marks on her wrist. When we confronted her, she broke down and shared about what had happened. We were shocked and did not know what to do. It has been a few months and I still feel angry and helpless. I want justice for my daughter, but she does not want to pursue the matter although she agreed to see a counsellor. I am struggling to come to terms with what happened. I pray for protection for my family, but why didn’t God protect her? Why didn’t she tell us then so that we could have done something about it? ~ Shocked Father
