Physically & Blind Challenged Ministry

Serving in SPM gives me a lot of joy. It helps me to grow stronger and understand that life is not about myself. It is about caring and loving others. "For God has loved us first." I also learned how much God has blessed me, and my family. It feels good to be able to serve others with my heart and with guidance from God.

I have been with SPM for about 12 years now. I was at a service when I was touched by what I saw. Most of them were in wheelchairs. One of them was old and had tubes in the nose. A sister was busy with them, arranging them to sit in neat rows while chatting with them, smiling at all times. I thought I could do that too, holding someone's hands, comforting him or her, it was so simple. I saw a recruitment advertisement for volunteers for SPM in the bulletin and I was "recruited".

Joanna, the sister whom I saw at the service, taught me all that I need to know, from pushing wheelchairs, guiding the Visually-Challenged, to at a later stage, leading a large group in worshipping and sharing the word. I thank God for His grace that He has chosen me to be a part of His ministry.

I enjoy serving in the Special People Ministry, as I can share with a group of men and women who come to service faithfully every week. I see the joy in their eyes, as they join in the worship session and I hope for help them to grow deeper in the LORD, and help them to grow in the word, so that they are also empowered by the Holy Spirit.

Though they may be physically challenged in some ways, I believe that in God's eyes, they are equally loved. I hope more members will also share the same heart in building and helping out in the Special People Ministry. I hope that one day, each of them will be confident and spirit-led to be a leader.

In 2005, I received a calling in my heart. I saw that the Special People Ministry was in need of more volunteers. Thus, I prayed about it and decided to leave the Ushering Team in FCBC, and serve in the Special People Ministry.

I recall a pastor advising me, "You want to serve? You will be exposed to criticism and you will be judged by other people. Do you still want to serve?"

I thought about it and realised that I am not a perfect person, but I had once experienced God's healing in 1999 and I decided to serve other people with the love that He has given me.

To date, I have been serving in the Special People Ministry for six years. Just as what Apostle Paul says in Philippians 4:13, "I can do everything through Him who gives me strength."
