2022- A year of Significant Milestones




2022 has been a year of significant milestones for Claire & I…

With the most significant milestone taking place on 7 May 2022, where we became new parents to our beautiful daughter Charis. We had to learn on the job how to be parents, as we embraced the joys & challenges of parenthood.

This was also the year where I was ordained as an Elder in the Methodist Church in Singapore to complete 4 years as a Member-on-trial (MOT) in my pastorate journey.

We are also thankful to be able to journey alongside a group of passionate Young Adults in Wesley as we went through 28 weeks of Companions in Christ together. They were the group that went through the different milestones with us throughout the year, from seeing us as being parents-to-be, to our baby girl joining us halfway & graduating together at the end of the year.

Besides that, it was a year where we came out of the pandemic and we finally transited all our ministries back to in-person. We resumed all our services, had our first BeTween JAIA camp in March, our first YMLC held in Wesley & ended the year with one of our largest Children Ministry TGIA camp in December.

We do not know what 2023 will be like, but I do know that it will be another exciting season stepping into new Faith adventures with our Lord, from expansions of portfolios in my pastorate journey as a new elder & also looking forward to experiencing new developmental milestones with my baby girl.
