Ruth Quek

Role & Responsibilities
My two main areas of ministry are the Children’s Discipleship Ministry & the Young Adult Women Ministry.
My responsibilities involve the following activities:

Overseeing program, teaching and training at the 830 English Children’s Discipleship for children ages 2-4 yrs old.
Helping with 1030 Children’s Discipleship.
Organizing events for Children’s Discipleship – yearly camps, special events, special Sundays, family discipleship
Organizing Young Adult Events and the (yearly) EXPLORE Internship
Personal Discipleship with some of the Young Adult Women

Prayer Requests

Children’s Ministry:
In addition to all the weekly prep for CD lessons and the special events, there is a lot of background work involved in Children’s Discipleship.
Things like thinking through what the Bible says about bringing up children, shaping mindsets, thinking through how to better equip teachers and volunteers, how to cater better to our children’s need to grow and be challenged in the Gospel according to their pedagogical development, how to better partner parents and families and equip them for the task of discipling children at home.
It’s exciting and intensely daunting at the same time.
Do pray that God will be the one in control. Guiding and directing myself and everyone else I partner with in this ministry to do the work for His glory and to recognize His timing is better than ours.
Thank God for the faithful ministry partners He has placed to encourage myself & Aunty June in their readiness to help and support us. Pray for more to be raised – from every generation in this family of Zion Bishan.
Pray together with us, as we intercede for the children among us – that they will come to recognize the sinfulness and helplessness of their human nature and yet experience God’s love for them as they learn about the power of the Gospel and see it in action in the lives of those among them.

Young Adult Ministry (Women):
As I read the Bible with and ‘do life’ together with the YAs, pray that we will do the hard work of thinking about how the truths of the Gospel can apply to and be lived out in our lives.
Young Adult life is a season of many transitions and learning to take on big responsibilities. Pray for the YA community, that we will learn how to help each other see how we can be faithful to God in every transition and every season of life.
Pray that as we get convicted about the Gospel and God’s love for us in Romans, it will move us to be more outward looking – beyond ourselves, our AGs, our church, our country.

Personal:
Pray for Vernon and me as we begin marriage and a life of ministry together – for our eyes to be continually looking to Jesus and our hearts wholly devoted to Him.
We’re thankful for the church community God has placed us in and for how He has been providing for our spiritual, emotional and financial needs.
