Jon aka amazing Homes Leader, I learned so much from you from that one text in March last year and from then I've tried to be a better person each day. On days when I feel I succeed, I give God all the glory. In days when I feel I've let ppl down or believe that I've grieved God, I remember that text, and then I refocus. I thank God for using you and I pray God blesses you and Jen and Isaiah all the days of your lives

Jo, I can say thank you a million times and still not be able to thank you enough for the love, care and guidance you've shown me throughout my Christian walk. You've shown first hand, by example, what it entails to be a good leader. But more than that, you've been a good friend. Thank you for all the catch up sessions, the devotion times and prayers. See you again real soon. Love you, Jo!

(Malaysia - Acts Subang Jaya 1030)

My journey started when I came to know Sister Grace in one of the Homes back in 2017. Our friendship grew from the same Home. Being a Leader, she is such a humble & committed servant of God. She puts God first in all that she does. Her willingness & patience to do extra miles for others. Her love for others. Eventhough we are no longer together in the same Home, both of us are serving in Acts Family Lounge ( AFL) for many years of togetherness. She always encouraged me and through serving we begin to understand each other better that draws us closer until today. In Hebrew 10"24-25, God instructs us to "spur one another on toward love & good deeds, not giving up meeting together but encourage one another. May the Lord continue to bless Sister Grace richly with many more good years in serving the Lord wherever the Holy Spirit leds her.

Dear Jess, thank God we really made time for that hangout last year. Something you said that day, stuck with me since. About how sometimes we don't have to use our titles when we're with family and friends cos all we want is just a husband or wife or friend. Thank you for being real, sharing stories and spreading love. Will continue to pray for your parents' salvation. God knows and hears every prayer you say to Him 🙏

Thanks for being a man of action and for always showing up! One of many examples is when I sent out SOS for when my Service@Homes had more newcomers than regulars and not enough manpower. You volunteered to do Word. I think it was your birthday too, that day....

How you always look for things to do to help, like washing dishes. Your wisdom. Your pausing before you speak. Yoir decisivenss. Your passion for people. Love you and appreciate you much. So happy have you in our corner. Xoxox.

To: Pr Matthew Chang

(Malaysia - Acts PJ)

Pr Matt, I love your messages. But we hardly get enough of you preaching in BU hence every message we do get to hear physically means so much. I still maintain the same view, sometimes when you preach, everything and every one in the room seem to disappear and it's as though that message is specifically for me. Love it that you're very Spirit led too, praying randomly for ppl out of the blue. Here's waiting for the next message! God bless, Pr

hey rachellie! as someone that overthinks alot, and always thinking im not good enough. you always assure me that i did this and that well. i get really insecure and overthinks a lot in every action i do. but every single time you will come to me and say “you did well” and it comforts me so much. takes away all my worries. the love and care you give made you not just my leader, my friend, but also my church mom.

Dearest Pastor Kenneth, Thank you for being a blessing to me and our church. I remember stepping in to Acts as a young campus student and listening to your preaching for the first time (15 years ago) I was so blessed and encouraged. It’s been a journey of growth and faith to be part of your leadership. Thank you for showing me what it means to give God our best. I’m grateful to have you as my Spiritual Dad- for all your encouragement and prayers. And thank you for being with me and Sonia in this difficult season, it means a lot. We love and appreciate you.

God bless your heart abundantly, pastor.

Lots of love,

Gloria ♥️

Adeline, usually there's so much I want to say to you but now I got this chance, and I feel a bit speechless. Idk why. But I do want you to know how impactful your quiet way is. How, if I watch you quietly, there is so much to learn from you. Thank you for being an amazing huddle leader. We do need to hang out again cos I owe Natalie her Burger Lab. You and Pr are so busy, it might be another year before yall find time 😆 but yes, as and when. Have a good year, Adeline

Haiiii JJ! We didn’t really have a talk much before and I haven’t know more about you but you are truly an amazing and wonderful person! I appreciate that you are always trying to make conversations with people who are new and more introverted/shy so that they feel welcomed and the sense of belonging in ASK! I was surprised when you prepared a Christmas gift last year 🥺 so sweet!!


May the Lord continue to use you in His ministry and continue to be the salt and light to the people around you! May the Lord bless you in your everyday life as well 🫶🏻


PS: your laughter is truly a chatchy part of you 😆
