My story with GPC begins with my maternal grandparents who came to Singapore from Quanzhou, Fujian in the mid 1900s. They settled at the foot of Bukit Timah hill as hawkers and began attending the oldest Chinese Protestant church in Singapore just up the road. My mother was the first to be born here among her siblings, and many of them also attended Pei Hwa Primary School, myself included.

My father’s family moved to Singapore from Moro, a small Indonesian island, and he became the first Christian in his family and joined GPC’s Chinese congregation where he met my mother in the choir. My father served as an elder before he too became a pastor.

I was born into a Christian family and have been part of the church since I was a child, attending Sunday School, prayer meetings, and Sunday services as part of my weekly routine. When I was twelve, I accepted Jesus as my personal Savior after hearing how much He loves me and offers true freedom from sin. Since then, my faith has been an important part of my life.

These days feel heavy.

The heat lingers longer than it should. The clouds gather as if they are ready to pour, yet they hold back. The air thickens. It presses on our skin, seeps into our homes, and even settles into our hearts. We wait for relief, but none comes. And something in us begins to feel the same—tense, restless, almost ready to burst, yet with nowhere to release.

As we look back on 2025, our hearts are filled with gratitude to God. For several years our church faced financial deficits, and we prayed earnestly that the Lord would provide for His people and His ministry. This past year, by God’s grace, we witnessed a remarkable change, our deficit became a surplus.

This is not merely a financial update. It is a spiritual testimony.

We live in a world that is deeply driven by work and performance. Whether in the office, in school, or even in church ministry, it is easy to measure people by what they produce. Efficiency becomes the highest virtue. Productivity becomes the ultimate proof of worth.

Slowly and quietly, something dangerous happens: people are valued mainly by their function: What can you do? How much can you produce? How efficient are you?

The table was full of mandarin oranges and festive goodies, and in the middle of the usual New Year conversations, a couple began sharing about their new church journey. They had moved from a traditional church to a charismatic one for a few years. There was joy in their voices, something fresh and alive.
