I joined the worship ministry in 2018 as a guitarist when I was still a Secondary school student, and have been serving in the ministry in school first, then in church.

As a teen, I served in Vacation Bible School, and I learnt that I have a gift in connecting with children. They seem to enjoy spending time with me. I love their energy and their pure, curious minds. Hence, when our youth pastor asked if I wanted to serve in the Sunday school ministry as a teacher, I agreed.

On my wedding day, the Women's Society of Christian Service (WSCS) ladies at my church gave me one of the most unforgettable expressions of love I have ever experienced.

Serving in church as both a pianist and a member of the choir has become a very important part of my life. Music has always been one of the ways I feel closest to God, so being able to serve him through music is something I am very grateful for.

Serving in the Media and Communications Ministry is an invitation to partner with God in ways that often go unseen, yet can have deep, eternal impact.

I joined the worship ministry at the start of 2025 and have been serving in this ministry for about a year.

When I was a child, I was brought to Holy Covenant Methodist Church by my mum. I would attend Sunday school and later on, youth fellowship.

At the age of 77 years, Tan Liar Tong's heart stopped for 11 minutes, but he lived to tell the miraculous tale of God's grace and mercy.

For me, being a Methodist is really about living in the constant awareness of God's grace. I've come to see and experience it in different ways—God's prevenient grace that sought me out before I even knew him, his justifying grace that saved me and his sanctifying grace that continues to shape me into the person he wants me to be.

My wife, Eunice, and I are founding members of Living Waters Methodist Church (LWMC). It is a privilege to see how God is using LWMC and its distinct intergenerational ministry to bless and touch lives around us. We have four children, and God has blessed us with three grandchildren.

I‘ve been singing in the choir for over 20 years and more recently, as a backup vocalist in the worship team. I knew I wanted to serve, but more than that, I sensed that God was calling me to offer what I could for his purposes. For me, serving is part of what it means to follow Christ, to give of ourselves in service to God and to others.

In this season of theological training, one prayer keeps surfacing in my heart: “Lord, give me a tender heart.” Not a soft or passive heart, but one that is open to God, sensitive to his presence and moved by the needs of others.
