1. What is your current appointment, and what do you find most satisfying about it? 

I am currently appointed as the Corps Officer at Bankstown Corps, where I have the privilege of serving and walking alongside people from diverse backgrounds. What I find most satisfying about this appointment is the many opportunities to share my faith – speaking about God, pointing people to Jesus, and sharing what He has done and continues to do. This extends not only within the corps, but also when I visit family and friends in China, where I am able to share Jesus in personal and meaningful ways. I deeply value journeying with people through difficult and challenging times, and it is a sacred responsibility to minister to individuals during some of the most painful moments of their lives. Witnessing hope restored and lives transformed as people choose to follow Jesus is one of the greatest joys of this calling.

 

2. Away from the appointment – if that’s possible! – what do you do to relax or unwind? 

Away from my appointment – if that’s ever possible – I enjoy taking time to relax through music, especially by playing a bit of guitar, which helps me slow down and reflect. I also love photography, particularly capturing the beauty of nature, as it gives me a fresh perspective and a sense of peace. Travelling to different places is another way I unwind, as it allows me to explore new environments, appreciate God’s creation, and be refreshed both physically and spiritually.

 

3. What’s a favourite Christian song and why do you like it? 

A favourite Christian song for me is ‘The God We Love’ by CityAlight. I appreciate this song because it captures so clearly who God is – His character, His faithfulness, and all that He has done for us through Jesus. The lyrics remind me of the depth of His love and the assurance we have in Him, especially in every season of life. It gives me a deep sense of hope and encouragement, pointing me to the promise that one day I will be with Him forever, which is both comforting and inspiring in my daily walk of faith.

 

4. If you could have a good talk with a biblical character apart from Jesus, who would it be and what would you talk about? 

I would choose the Apostle Paul. I would love to ask him about his perseverance through hardship and what sustained his faith as he faced so many challenges, suffering, and uncertainties. I would be especially interested in hearing how he remained so focused on the mission of sharing the gospel, no matter the cost. It would also be encouraging to learn from his personal relationship with Christ – how he prayed, trusted God’s guidance, and found strength in weakness. I believe that conversation would inspire and challenge me to live more faithfully and courageously in my own calling.

 

5. If you were talking to a group of Salvationists and they asked if you recommended officership or not, what would you say? 

If I were talking to a group of Salvationists and they asked whether I would recommend officership, I would say yes – wholeheartedly. If God has placed that calling on your life, then it is one of the best things you can pursue. The key is to be obedient and to follow where God leads. While the journey may not always be easy, responding to His call is the most meaningful and fulfilling decision you can make, and there is deep joy in serving Him wholeheartedly.
