To all of you who prayed for me and all who went for the Conversion Experience Retreat, THANK YOU. So many people (there were 120 attending and more than 100 volunteers) were touched by God’s grace and love over the 4 days of the retreat. Hardened hearts were melted, many healings – spiritual, emotional and […]

Conversion Experience Retreat
I’ll be away from Thursday March 12 – Sunday March 15 on retreat. Zibin and my parents will be attending the Conversion Experience Retreat with me. Please pray for us, and for all our fellow retreat participants, that we will encounter the Risen Christ and have a true conversion of heart at this retreat. Please […]
Grace
Grace does not make us impervious to suffering. Nor does it give us plain sailing in life. Any gospel that attempts to preach grace as such is severely shortchanging its audience. The beauty of grace is precisely that it transforms the experience of suffering such that we come to experience and understand God’s love for […]
My prayer warriors
Every Friday evening, a wonderful thing happens in my home. A small group of people comes together to break bread, share the Word of God, pray for one another and have fellowship. My SCC (Small Christian Community) group is a prayer powerhouse. Our meetings recharge our spiritual batteries in such powerful ways that no matter […]
All for You
Sweet Lord, In the past week I’ve begun to realize the foretaste of what a life lived in mission for You would entail. And it is nothing short of radical. And I never saw myself as radical – for I used to toe the line. Always, and carefully. I hated to give offense, and that […]
The stars, a rainbow, and rain…

Family members seriously ill or injured, on the brink of losing jobs, going through personal crises etc. But I think it’s wonderful how God shows His love for my friends through nature, and how they somehow feel this love even if they […]
Anything can happen
I haven’t shared the story of how I ended up being a full-time staff in my church, and with the main portfolio of being the ‘work plan secretary’ (the SAF term) of implementing the Roadmap vision across the various departments and communities in the parish. About 10 days ago, my mother saw an advert in […]
First Day at Work
I love my new job! It’s so cool that my boss would sit down with me to chat and listen to the ways I think I can help him with his plans for the church. At the end of the chat, I ended up with a completely new and different portfolio than the one I […]
Put to work
It’s official… starting tomorrow I’m going to be a full-time staff in my parish of St. Mary of the Angels. I’ve been recruited into the Catechist Office to help plan and implement the curriculum and program (from Pr 1 to Sec 4) and how to integrate it into the spiritual development of the parish at […]
animann to go public
My dear friends, I have decided that the time has come for my blog to go public. Through the last few years, this private space has been a nursery and haven for me to explore and grow in my writing and sharing, and it has been wonderful. As you can probably tell from the last […]
