In 2016, my partner and I left our cell group of 4 years to step up as leaders of a brand new group, named People of Prayer. We started with 5 other members and subsequently grew to 14 (and counting).

It was a leap of faith, and having to work with 14 young adults – each with their unique challenges and baggage – and guiding them in their spiritual walk was certainly not easy. Yet by God's grace, most of them are maturing healthily, which brings us great joy.

We still continue to pine for and pray for the lost and wayward sheep in our midst, and to learn the fine balance of rebuking and loving.
