My late father and two brothers-in-Christ planted a church in my home. It started as a fellowship group, but the Lord moved so mightily that the church grew. I recalled Sunday School classes were held in our bedrooms and the porch was the sanctuary. We had dug a baptismal pool in the extended living room and I was baptized there at twelve.
I attended a three-month Bible school shortly after high school. After I graduated from it, I came to Canada to study at Western Pentecostal Bible College (now known as Summit Pacific College). I graduated with Bachelor of Religious Education. Thereafter, I went back to my home church in Singapore to serve. I was involved in coordinating curriculum, seminars, taught Sunday School, led Women’s Ministry and Life Groups. Within the Life Group, we organized short-term mission trips to Malaysia and Indonesia. I was also involved in women’s prison and a care center for abused women.
In 2005, I had the privilege to complete my elementary teacher’s license and Master of Education in New Mexico, USA. For my Master’s program, I majored in Instructional Leadership. Subsequently my family immigrated to Canada. When my family and I first arrived in Canada, I was employed with Vancouver Chinese Baptist and Vancouver Chinese Alliance Church as the children’s pastor prior to joining Burnaby Pacific Grace Church. My husband, George, is currently serving with the children’s ministry and my two adult children, Uriel and Galacia are presently worshipping at BPGC.
As Children’s Pastor, I minister with a committee team, and together we coordinated the bi-weekly Kids Club, children’s Christmas, Easter, and the Year End Carnival outreaches. We are constantly recruiting volunteers to serve a vibrant ministry. I also instituted many initiatives to fulfill the Children’s Ministry core values, such as: creating an atmosphere of hearing from God, prioritize events that are inclusive of parents and the community, spiritually and mentally empowering leaders. When we run the annual Summer Camps, we intentionally enlist the grade 6s to serve as leaders.
The Lord has put a burden in my heart to care for the children the past sixteen years. Prayerfully, through family visitations and other support, we can develop a dynamic family ministry at BPGC. I am always open to new ideas and feedback. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you need some parenting tools, guidance, or prayers.
我已故的父親和兩位在基督裡的弟兄在我家建立了教會。起初只是個團契小組，但因著主的奇妙作為，教會不斷成長。我記得主日學都是在我們的臥室上課，門廊就是我們的禮堂。我們在擴建的客廳挖了一個洗禮池，我十二歲就在那裡受洗。我高中畢業後不久就參加了一個為期三個月的聖經學校。從那裡畢業後，我來到加拿大，進入Western Pentecostal Bible College學院（現在稱為Summit Pacific College學院）學習。我取得了宗教教育學士學位。之後，我回到新加坡的母會服事。我參與了課程和講座的統籌工作，教主日學，帶領婦女事工和生命小組。在生命小組中，我們還組織了短期的馬來西亞和印尼宣教之旅。我也參與了女子監獄和被虐女性的關懷中心事工。
在2005年，我很榮幸在美國新墨西哥州完成了小學教師證照及教育碩士學位。在碩士課程中，我主修教學領導。隨後，我的家人移民到了加拿大。
當我和家人剛到加拿大時，我在加入本立比頌恩堂教會之前，曾在溫哥華華人浸信會和溫哥華華人宣道會擔任兒童牧師。我的先生George目前在兒童事工服事，我的兩個成年子女，Uriel and Galacia，目前在本立比頌恩堂敬拜。
作為兒童牧師，我和委員會團隊一起服事，共同統籌每兩週一次的兒 Kids Club、及每年的兒童聖誕節、復活節以及年終嘉年華活動。我們也持續招募義工來參與這個充滿活力的事工。為了實踐兒童事工的核心價值觀，我還推動了許多舉措，例如: 營造聽到上帝聲音的氛圍、優先舉辦能讓家長和社區參與的活動、在靈性和心理上裝備領袖。每年舉辦夏令營時，我們會刻意邀請六年級的孩子擔任領袖。
過去十六年來，主讓我心中有一份負擔，要關心孩子們。我們禱告中，希望透過家庭訪視和其他支援，能在本立比頌恩堂內發展一個充滿活力的家庭事工。我樂於聽取各種新想法和意見。如果你需要一些育兒的實用建議、指導或禱告，請隨時與我聯絡。
