LEE WEE SONG, CHAIRMAN

I became a Christian as a youth under a rather subdue circumstance. I believe as Christians, we constantly struggle with the tiresome push and pull between godliness and worldliness, but the journey really begins when one finds the kind of conviction that can come only from a personal experience with God, one that compels us to ask for more, more of Him. I thank GOD that during many of my moments of deep distress, He was always there to show me His grace and mercy. I experienced His love and presence at times when I never even sought Him. The Christian journey is one of ups and downs, but I believe if we choose to surrender ourselves to God, we no longer stand on the balance where we are on one side and God on the other, constantly struggling to keep that balance, Instead we shift ourselves to the GOD side of the balance: That is when service truly begins - serving others.

REV. BRIAN WONG, LEAD PASTOR

Canaan Church holds a very special place in my heart. This is the church that I encountered Jesus Christ my Saviour as a young seeker in 1993, experienced His love through the Body of Christ, subsequently was baptized in 1997 and matured as a disciple of Christ through the faithful ministry of the Word. Having been in this church for the past 27 years, I have seen God’s unwavering love and quest to seek and save the lost in ways that just amaze me. That just motivates to keep going in serving Him and helping people to know Him. From ministering to young people when I entered into full-time ministry at Canaan in 2004, to now being the lead pastor, the passion is still the same – to draw people to abide in Christ and anchor them in the foundation of Holy Scriptures. I love teaching the Bible. When people love the Word and find Christ and deepen their love for Him through the Word, it just delights my heart! I am grateful to God for giving me this privilege to be part of this family of God and the partnership of the Gospel through this local church.

WONG KA YUN

It has been my privilege growing up in a Christian family. I grew up with a sense of destiny as my grandfather had always prayed to Jesus that he might have a grandson and I am the product of his answered prayer. I have been attending Canaan Church as far back as my memory can remember. I came to know Jesus personally during my secondary school days. Jesus is my tower of refuge and strength. Indeed, as in Psalm 91, "Whoever dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty." It is my desire to know God, and lead people to know Jesus and rest in His presence.

PS. LARRY ARIENZANO, FILIPINO MINISTRY PASTOR

I was converted to evangelical Christianity in 1986 during my 3rd year in High School. After I received Jesus as my Saviour, I enthusiastically shared the gospel with my family, classmates and friends with boldness and conviction that only Jesus can save us from eternal damnation. My gospel sharing was highlighted with a stern warning that if they don’t accept Jesus, they will spend eternity in hell. I still hold on to this clear-cut message in the light of God’s grace as the basis of our salvation.

I dropped my childhood ambition to become either an engineer or a lawyer and went to a Seminary to prepare myself to the call of full-time ministry. After graduation in 1992, I served in Liberty Church of Christ for almost 17 years until I joined Canaan Church in 2009 with my wife Sylvia and son Shadrack. It is a great joy for me to see people accepting Jesus as their personal Saviour and to usher them into the work of the Kingdom.

CARLO VERGARA

Coming from a Christian family background I came to know Christ at an early age of 11. It was a unique experience from me as I want to experience Christ on my own accord and not because my family told me so. Indeed Christ allows me to experience him in a very unique and simple way, our family moved to a new place and I was completely isolated from my friends, buddies and relatives. As I was thought in sunday school that Jesus can be our friend, I tried that notion and be friended him to fulfil my longing for companionship and he did not fail me. From that day onwards it was always been my aspiration to share that ongoing experience and let others know how fulfilling a life can be with Christ in their life.

DEXTER AGUSTINES

I grew up in a Christian family and both my parents were active members in their church. They provided a positive environment for me to grow spiritually and nurtured me to become a believer of Christ. I accepted Jesus Christ as my Lord and Saviour when I was Primary 6. I came to know Canaan through a relative who attended Canaan while she was working in Singapore. My first service in Canaan was certainly not my last. I started to attend church regularly together with my family ever since. Canaan has a warmth atmosphere among all the wonderful members in the church, it really does feel like home. It is also in Canaan where I developed my gift in ministry. I really thank God for the opportunity to serve in Canaan, it has been incredible and definitely more great years to come.
