Since my retirement as Diocesan Bishop at the end of March 2007, God has been faithful in caring for us over the twelve years.
When I was 16, my brother and I attended a Methodist Youth Retreat organized by the Tamil Methodist Church, Taiping which was held in Bukit Larut. It was at this retreat that I accepted Jesus Christ as my personal Lord and Saviour. I was a Methodist then.
我于1979年完成五年神学课程，在西马教区被按立为会吏，开始我全职传道生涯至今已40年了。回忆神的呼召及恩佑，把本是个平凡乡下人的我，改变成牧师及荣休会督，我不得不引用保罗的话：“然而我今日成了何等人，是蒙神的恩才成的。” (林前15:10上）
我生长在基督教家庭，祖母虔诚信主，但父母由于工作极少到教会。我参加主日学，听圣经故事，明知有神及耶稣爱我，但没有服从神。少年的我离开教会结交损友，染上不良习惯。舅舅邀请我参加圣公会少年团，我就在少年福音营信主，积极事奉并追求圣经及灵性长进。16岁那年，我在青年营听道后，回应全职服事的呼召，并将这承诺存在心中。
