In memoriam: Lyndon Gan Wan Siew

Lyndon Gan served on the Methodist Missions Society (MMS) Executive Committee since 2009 until his passing, where he served faithfully as TRAC\’s representative. His passion for missions, particularly through his local church, Kampong Kapor Methodist Church, brought valuable insights and wisdom to the work of MMS.

Cancer, faith and the family he almost lost

When Juliana Leong’s phone lit up with a message from her younger brother, Kenneth, in the family group chat, she was surprised. For decades, Kenneth had kept his distance from the family. He rarely attended gatherings, stayed silent in family chats, and quietly lived life on his own.

The schoolroom mission field

Having served in a children’s ministry in Thailand for many years, one truth has become unmistakably clear: interacting with children once a week is simply not enough. If we truly want to shape lives, more quality time with them is non-negotiable.

The Methodist movement: A global soul-saving enterprise

Rule #11 was added at the Methodist Conference of 1745, appending John Wesley’s “Twelve Rules of a Helper”. Many of us often paraphrase #11 as, “you have one business on earth—to save souls”, perhaps to describe the Methodist movement in 18th century England as a soul-saving enterprise, replicable globally today.

Finding hope in hardship

In 2025, Methodist Welfare Services (MWS) launched The Healing Nation, a national initiative inspired by the 140th Anniversary of The Methodist Church in Singapore to rally the wider community to give back.

Celebrating the spirit of doing good

A total of 201 volunteers were honoured at the Empowering Life Awards 2026, MWS’ biennial volunteer appreciation event that recognise volunteers who have made significant contributions to MWS’ beneficiaries and clients.
