Breakout Session
by Ms Jiamin Choo
Culture can affect our understanding and reception of the gospel. Some theologies emphasises the forgiveness of sins, but people in many other nations seek honour or spiritual power. Come and learn how the Bible speaks to cultures of guilt, shame and fear, and how we can be culturally sensitive and relevant as we bring the gospel across cultures.

Breakout Session
by Ms Esther Ong
You see them sometimes unlocking their gates next to your house, hear them singing while taking a shower, and smell the burning incense or cigarette smoke coming into your house. They can be so near and yet so far- living next to you for many years and yet knowing next to nothing about them. Nevertheless, God loves them too and chose to place your home near them. This session seeks to provide you with practical ideas on how to love your neighbours of varied nationality, race, religion and language so that they too may know and experience the love of Christ.
Speaker Profile
Ms Esther Ong served as a member of Faith’s Pastoral Team for over 20 years and was an overseas Mission worker in two Asian countries for about three years. She is now one of Faith’s local mission workers with Interserve Singapore. Together with a team, she conducts trainings for churches and individuals who are interested and engaged in reaching out to a specific people group in Singapore. She can speak Indonesian fluently, which she claims is better than her Mandarin.
