The Pelangi ~


If you are on a diet, don’t come to Pelangi Cell. Haha.. (just kidding!)

In a nutshell, Pelangi Cell Group is a place to eat ones heart out, be it physically or spiritually. You will enjoy an array of fabulous refreshments weekly and hear of the wonderful happenings in the lives of every member.

It is funny how we bond over food.
When the Cell just started, we were like walking on eggs with our words.. but now we can just go bananas and feel as warm as toast, with the love and care from the members.

Someone once said that Pelangi Cell Group should be awarded as the ‘Most Well Behaved Cell Group’… Maybe that’s because our ‘management team’ are both teachers and lawyers, and they keep the law in order! Haha…

Here are some fun facts about US!


The Overseer – Aaron Cheng
He is a teacher in Singapore and teaches Physics.
His endurance is to be marveled, as he travels across the customs daily and can still find time to serve in many areas in church (cell leader, worship leader, drummer, chairman, interpreter etc..)
If you need any food for thought, this is the guy to talk to.
He will challenge your thoughts and perspective in life, with the word of God, and often provides very special insights during discussions.
He has surprised the cell group with his own cooked noodles, decorated with crabsticks and eggs. *woot*

The Facilitator – Sinloong
Whenever Sin Loong is around, everything will be in order! Haha…
She is an extremely well organized lawyer, who provides legal counsel to a Singapore IT firm, who remembers every members birthday and never fail to buy the right presents, make beautiful cards and send sms to remind us of our duties & the word of God, take time to care and find out our individual needs and pray for us, if we are absent from cell, she would send heart warming sms and make sure we stay close in fellowship.
She buys the most interesting food and keeps us in touch with latest food frenzy in Singapore (eg. ‘Pie Kia’).
We all appreciate having her because she really has her fingers in the pies of our lives.

Carol makes the best Tiramisu in town! Our dessert expert!
She is learning to be an accountant in NTU, and is currently very busy with her schoolwork and also the Christian Fellowship in the campus.
She speaks very accurate mandarin and is one of the only ones I know, who asks for a tissue as (zhi3 jing1) and straw as (xi1 guan3).
She has the gift of singing and is a worship leader in the English Service.

Terence is a fine young man in his salad days.
He is a very talented guitarist, vocalist and song writer, and we are very blessed to have him to enhance the praise & worship experience.
He is currently studying in NIE and will be nurturing kids about Maths and Physics.
Terence is an open book. He helps the cell to open up by being open and shares about everything that he is going through in his life. We are very encouraged by his faith and life experiences.

Stella is as nutty as a fruit cake! Also known as the ‘louder’ one in cell group, she kinda feel obligated to talk softer because almost everyone in cell group talks soooo softly! Haha.
She is a Marketing Exec for her family business and has very irregular working schedule. She serves in the TEENz as cell leader and worship leader and always rubs her nose.
Stella appreciates the fact that TNT and the cell group has always been so supportive and providing strength, fellowship, guidance and advice at different stages of her life, which is very crucial in making or breaking a person.

Chrytz is as cool as a cucumber. You have to take time to know her before you discover the warmth that she shares unselfishly.
She is an Accountant and lately she is very busy with her family business.
She is very passionate about the Word and often listens to Online Sermon.
She has had many faith-challenging moments in her walk with Christ.
Way to go Chrytz!


Sally is a hard nut to crack, because she is a very quiet girl.
HOWEVER, she is very willing to share with you if you know how to ask the right questions!
She is studying Business and Marketing in Sunway College.
She loves Japanese food and brings sushi for refreshment! She is a pinky and “bling bling” girl who loves to paint her nails and decorate her mobile and laptop’s cover with the shining shining diamond stickers!
Sally has one of the sweetest smiles that will brighten any gloomy days! Check it out!



Rae is the new kid on the block. Rae is an adventurous person who enjoys water sports, softball and pool!
Rae is a new Christian and currently in Penang.
Rae went through a very difficult period before coming to know the Lord. In Rae’s distress while Rae was in JB, Rae came to know about the cell group and found love and support in the community of Christ.
It is here Rae found freedom and love. Keep Rae in your prayers because Rae is still looking for a suitable cell group in Penang.

Ah Zou is a meat and potato person. He enjoys simple pleasures in life and is always very helpful.
He just graduated from EEE in Ngee Ann Polytechnic and just got his offer to study in NTU. He has won numerous competitions especially in the recent Robotic Championship in Japan.
The greatest miracle he has experienced recently is an answered prayer for the salvation and healing of his mother. We have witnessed how God moved and worked in the lives of the people he loves.
We learn that His timing is always perfect. Never too late. Never too early.

WeiCheng is like a recipe book that can turn the normal ingredients into mouth-watering dishes. She likes to surprise us with her cooking skills and her new invention (like porridge stuffed in steamed red apples… lol).
She is very soft spoken and gentle but she does stand firmly on her opinions sometimes. If you get to know her better, she has heaps of new ideas and weird thoughts too!
She is meticulous and very responsible with the duties that were given to her, she gave us color printed sermon note! She is passionate about the little kids and serving faithfully in CBC and Elim.

WeiTing is a paddlepop! Colourful, energetic and creative~
She has just been awared Silver Medal from Ngee Ann Poly and is offered a place in NUS doing Industrial Design.
She experienced God’s power during her 3 months attachment in NanJing, China. She brought back the zeal and fire for God and it was contagious. The whole CG was excited because of her sharing and the great things God has done through her.
Other than cooking, she has burden for little kids as well, and she also hopes to have the opportunity to serve the people in China.


Jey Shin is a legal drug dealer!
He is a scorer in school and is actually a Chemist who wanted to be a Chemist, but was offered the position as ‘Sales Chemist’. Since then, he has had many interesting experiences where God was able to mould him and challenge him in life.
Quiet as he seems, he is a very observant guy. There was once where we all had to choose 1 person to encourage in the cell group. Just ONE.
But our dear Jey Shin was so encouraging, he find difficulty encouraging just ONE person. He actually encouraged EVERYONE in the cell group by pointing out the strength he observed in everyone.
WOW. Cell group ended around 12.45am that day. But it was one of the most unforgettable days.

Gerald is one smart cookie who just came back from Australia! Another Accountant!
He drives from Singapore to JB for cell group (almost) every week, and makes yummy sandwiches.
He may look very gentle on the outside, but wait till you see him play rugby!
He is currently working at a recruitment agency and he will be serving his National Service (NS) in the Singapore Army soon.


Ee Kiat
captures precious moments in life.
He is a man with few words, responsible and is very passionate about photography.
Perhaps he expresses his emotions through the pictures he captures.
He is currently studying Business Administrative in Sunway College.
He is one of those guys who keep their cars really clean, neat and nice smelling.
*gain brownie points* haha..

Patrick was an Engineer but is now working as a Financial Analyst.
Despite being the only child and the first Christian at home, Patrick is a God-chaser who is young in faith but wanting to love God with all his heart.
He is generous in giving, loving and caring for the people around him. He enjoys crappy jokes and his laughter is contagious.
He has a burden for the kids and just joined CBC as guitarist. He initiated the CG to visit orphanage to provide helps and to give tuitions to the orphans.


Lawrence is our new friend brought by Sally.
Lawrence is working in Singapore as an Accountant (wow, another accountant in our CG!) and always very busy during month end closing. He has been faithfully atending the CG for 2 months and now he has formed an important part of this family. He enjoys the food, the fun and fellowship in CG and our desire is to see his heart be touched by God and accept Him into his life and to see the great things God is going to do in him and through him

"Let us not give up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but let us encourage one another -- and all the more as you see the Day approaching" (Hebrews 10:25).
