My creative journey kicked off in my teens, after immersing myself in Comms and Media internships at age 16. Despite showcasing a portfolio I took immense pride in, a lingering emptiness persisted within. I realised it stemmed from a lack of purpose; however, I didn’t have a solution and instead focused my energy on an upcoming internship with Holland Village Methodist Church (HVMC), tasked with developing its Comms and Social Media content.
After the internship, I continued pouring my time in the Comms and Media ministry, from editing Instagram reels to designing church banners. Over time, I realised the potential to enhance the HVMC team with my past comms experience. God’s timing unfolded mysteriously, leading the LMS in charge to offer me the role of Comms & Media lead. I didn’t accept right away—in fact, I rejected the role for half a year, thanks to a little something called self-doubt.
Eventually, I understood that embracing my humanity and imperfections means leaning on God for greatness. Rather than focusing on myself, I should focus on how God can work through me for others, such as using my experience to guide and train those who are keen to join the ministry, creating a place where people can come together and grow without fear or judgment. So, I accepted the role.
I’m putting my trust in the Lord to steer me through this journey. I truly look forward to watching just how God will continue to grow this ministry as he has this past year.
