What does success mean to you? MONEY? POWER? INFLUENCE? CAREER?

As seasoned singles, no one knows the emotional and spiritual importance of faith, hope and love more than us. We have gone through the mountains and the valleys of the Christian life and we are still fighting the good fight in the faith! We have each shown great determination, patience, humility and perseverance in Christ; wow, that is certainly worth celebrating!

It is not often that anyone looks forward to four hours of toil under the sun. But talk to any of the close to 1,000 volunteers of HOPE worldwide Singapore and you’ll be surprised to hear the joy in their voices as they relate their experiences canvassing for donation on Saturday 7 September. It was HOPE’s annual flag day, and a majority of the volunteers were from the Central Christian Church. The first of three shifts hit the streets at 8am and the last shift finished 12 hours later at 8pm. Some volunteers even did more than one shift. Armed with a little tin can and a load of enthusiasm, the volunteers approached passers-by tirelessly for donations. It is so encouraging to see volunteers from a very diverse demography.

The original Hebrew word for ‘Honour’ is ‘Kabad’, which is defined as being honourable, being respected and being made heavy – something that is important.

God healed the broken pieces in me; from brokenness, He pieced my life back into a love-filled and Christ-centered one. God knew that I wouldn’t be stronger without challenges. Yet He never left when I needed him the most, He carried me forward, just like the story of the man walking with his footprints in the sand. I found hope and lasting love with God. The joy that I experience now is something I wouldn’t exchange for anything in the world.
