(*JiaWei and YV's sis are not CG members yet)
Hup Two
“Friend, how are you?” is his favorite phrase. A knowledgeable businessman who knows a lot about how many industries operate and function in the market. A father of two, who is always committed to his family. He can be just like a big kid playing around with his 2 sons like friends and yet he can also discipline the kids well. When it comes to fun and jokes, he is the creator of most of them. If you visit church on Sunday, you can also see him playing bass for Sunday English Service. A Cell Overseer who has a lot to share about God, always putting God in his 1st place. Definitely a man worth knowing!

Yee Voon
You can also address her as Mrs Chang. You are right and she is Hup Two’s wife. Even though she always said that she is old, but nobody can actually get her correct age. In fact, she is young at heart. Though she has to take care of her 2 sons, she still takes good care of all the cell members in Perling. A very caring and motherly sister. She makes sure that all of us eat healthily, which is less sugar, less oil and less salt. She is also a very good counselor to talk to because she has more experience to share. Visit our cell one day and I bet you will love her like our cell does :D

Jack
An optimistic guy who always share the joy and love of the LORD in cell. He likes to crack “cold” jokes in cell and we love them as well. We miss Jack’s ice breaker time, because he is the one who always come out with lots of rare ice breakers. Vividly still remember that he introduced us a “disgusting” game i.e. he asked us to chew the chewing gum and then ask us to create something from the chewing gum on the cardboard. Despite his funny side, Jack is actually a brother full with patience and love. He can go through the encyclopedia with the kids. Sometimes, he even needs to answer their “strange and funny” questions. Having Jack around in cell is really nice. Jack, good job and keep it up!

Shu Jing
My secretary in cell. Always do things secretively, but always at the best interests of the cell group members. She always helps the cell chores where the cell facilitator overlooks. You may be guessing, “Who is the Perling cell facilitator?” A very meticulous person who always remember every details of the cell member. Birthday card, word of encouragement and cakes are all produced by Shu Jing. Hmm, how can you guys don’t know her? Haha.

Lay Hoon
If your dog is sick, you can approach her. If you need to go for a movie, you can call her. Our Perling Cell Program Organizer. Due to cost control, Perling cell has yet to produce any name card for her. She is a vet by profession. Love animals and love people as well. And a person who actively involved in cell groups and church services. A devoted Christian whom God has used her to bring lots of people around her entering His kingdom. E.g. her two (2) colleagues have now joined our FGC and become members of God’s household.

Chris
Lifen’s colleague. A vet as well. An outgoing person who likes to climb mountains and diving into the sea. Enjoy outdoor activities very much and that explains her complexion. A quiet person who don’t really talk much. She is a new Christian baby who is really hungry for God and actively seeking Him. She is very serious in everything. This can tell from how she prepare for our most recent Bible Quiz. She burn mid-night oil to study the Bible, even she is just taking only one chapter. THUMBS UP! We are really impressed and encouraged by you!

Ken
If you need a ride home, he will deliver you back home safely. A responsible person who can make a good husband. Ke Tyng, you are blessed. Works diligently for his family business and a man after God’s heart. Ken is well known for his manners. Never ever seen him raise his voice to anyone because the way he speaks can be really soft. A very patient guy as well. Just from the way how he baby-sit his nephew, you can be sure that he will be a good and caring father in future.

Serene
Work as a company secretary in Singapore. Her future plan is to study MBA back in UK. Young girl but has a big dream. Pray that her dream will come true. Very generous lady where she bought souvenirs for ALL the members in her last Thailand trip. Sweet :p A very outgoing young lady who loves shopping. Not just her I guess. In her last Bangkok trip, she spent the least amount of time shopping. But in the end, she is the one who bought the most. Sisters who love shopping and bargaining, please look for her. She knows where to grab the best deal in town.

Siew Ching
Production Planner for semi-conductor manufacturer. A well informed girl who knows about Malaysia politics and news happening around the globe. Actively seeking for new job. Out of her busyness, she still chooses to be actively involved in our cell group activities and outing! It shows that she is really working hard to adapt to new environment and faces. She is also very hungry to know more about the Lord through prayers and Bible. Impressive !
Shan
A quiet guy who thinks deep in his mind. “Still Water Runs Deep.” Keke.. Working as Lift Technical Support in Singapore, you can be sure you will be out of the lift within the shortest period of time! Shan is a new-born Christian who is born in the church’s first Alpha Course. Praise God! A new born Christian who is fervently chasing after God’s presence. I pray that he will continue to learn more of God’s word and be a wonderful testimony for the Lord. Gambette !


Choon Siang
Writer of this article. Perling Cell Facilitator who always laze around. An accountant by profession. Very careless in completing tasks but still managed to complete them. :p
Because of all my cell members, we are what we are today. And of course, thank God for allowing me to have such a wonderful cell. Given this opportunity, I would like to thank for the encouragement and love from the cell members. Indeed they are great. :D


Verse Encouragement for all TnT members, especially to all Perling cell members.
Hebrews 12:1-3
1Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles, and let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us. 2Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before him endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. 3Consider him who endured such opposition from sinful men, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart.

Let’s finish the race together.
