Pastoral

“Thanks—on the whole, we are happy with the drama, especially on the way it brought together the different generations of our church. We are also glad to see many new friends and visitors during the performances. We are grateful for the part you played, and trust God for the fruits of our Christmas outreach.”

Finishing Well Ministries, Rev David Wong, Leadership Mentor (1 Mar 2012)

“Thanks you for writing the skit’s script and all the rehearsals and trainings. May God richly bless you and use your talents and gifts for His glory. God bless!” …. “Your acting role on Good Friday was a difficult one yet you did well. With no props to support you, somehow you managed to pull it off.”

Lighthouse Evangelism, Senior Pastor Rony Tan (22 Jun 2009) and (22 Apr 2011)

“Thank you so much for traveling to Kuala Lumpar to minister to our congregation in Drama Workshop. We appreciate your ministry to us and would like you to know that we have been richly blessed. We ask the Lord to continually pour down His blessings upon you and your ministry as we advance the interest of His kingdom.”

Lighthouse Evangelism, Pastor Samuel Sam (2 Jul 2011)

“The strongest strain in your ministry was the message of a life given up for God's purpose for us. Your boldness and clear perception of how you wish to be used were evident to me. Keep this clarity unadulterated as the days go by. A clear understanding of His
calling serves us well in times of adversities. Thank you for your
ministry.”

Revival Christian Centre, Rev Tony Tan (2 Jun 2010)

“The youths definitely enjoyed the workshops, and since we are
a new ministry, the workshops added a lot of value. I liked how you had a selection of clearly defined courses that made it easy for me to pick and choose. Also appreciated that you have a spiritual perspective on drama, and had experience in pastoral work too. This made it easier for my youths to be discipled through ministry.”

RiverLife Christian Church, Sis Quek Shi Wei, Church Youth Worker (7 Jul 2010)

“It is rare for Christian artists who really love doing art yet willing to take a back seat with regards to performing but to give their lives to equip others instead to pass on skill (and faith) to Christian youths, who will continue to use art for God's sake. It has been a very enjoyable experience working with you. Your presentation of your creative work is also very clear. I was so thankful to God for providing the precious help through you. Thank you for the partnership and the fellowship in the work. Praying with you for the work and more Christian workers will see that evangelism can be done using drama and music :)”

Singapore Youth For Christ, Bro Randy Yeo, Executive Staff, Youth Worker (13 Sep 2010)

“The drama was simple, however, all the actors and actress put up their best in this Hakka mini-musical. (I can’t ask for more due to such short time-frame). Overall, I’m pleased with everyone’s effort. All glory to our Lord Jesus Christ! God bless.”

Hakka Methodist Church, Rev Chin Yan Chong, Pastor-in-charge (30 Dec 2010)

“Keep progressing into God's calling. I am sure one day you'll be one of the most talented drama artistes found in Singapore. I've faith in you because God gave you the talent and passion. To God be the glory.”

Lighthouse Evangelism, Sis Joyce Chow, Personal Assistant of Senior Pastor (6 Dec 2009)

" I first met Pamela at the auditions. During the auditions, I thought I did not do well and was pretty worried. Thank God He still gave me a role in this musical. He knows I have many other commitments and being a reserved person. God is good!! I got to know every one of the cast!!It may be the end of the musical but I thank God that we are still in contact with each other and our bond is closer than ever. God bless everyone and I hope we can work with each other sometime again!感谢主安排贵人在我的生命里，一路帮助我！在试演期间，我觉得我应该是没戏演了。但感谢主，衪还是给了我一个角色。主是有大能的，衪看到我在角落一个人独自坐着，就帮我敞开心跟其他演员交谈并融入他们。我要为了大家再次感谢主。希望很快又能和你们一起工作，再见，愿上帝祝福你们！”
Prisca Teng, 16, Student, Cast (12 Jun 2011)

“Thank you, Pamela, for your patient leading of our ‘family’ in the drama. May God bless you and enlarge your tent. May the Lord prosper your ways and multiply the fruits of your labour for His glory. Glad to have the opportunity to work with you.”
Tan Siok Cheng, 60, Retired Teacher, Cast (8 May 2011)

“A big big thank you to you, Pamela, for the many guidance, patience, encouragement, prayers throughout the whole process. Fun workshops and her artistic directions during rehearsals. Most of all, she gave her love to our team. I cannot bring myself to believe even at this moment (after the drama) that I have actually overcame my stage fright. Nothing is really impossible for Him when we choose to believe and trust. 很感谢你，丽娥，谢谢你一路来的引导，鼓励和祷告。我和戏剧演员们组正式见面了，当时丽娥正在为排练作艺术指导，并要为戏剧加入有趣的元素。很多时候，她给我们组的人很多关爱。即使是在表演结束后，我还不能让自己相信我真的已经战胜了舞台恐惧症。哈利路亚，赞美我们全能的主！只要我们选择相信他，在主没有不能成的事。”
Helen Teo, 50, business women, Cast (8 May 2011)

“Dearest Pam, your direction and leadership has been an eye-opener. I can now see how drama and ministry can be weaved! Thank you for this privilege to work together.”
Jacklyn Kong, 30, School Drama Teacher, Cast (8 May 2011)

“Thanks Pam for all of the messages you have conveyed to me. May all of us learn more through Drama. God bless you.”
Mak Sue Ann, 20, Graduate of studies in South East Asia, Cast (24 Apr 2011)

"感谢Pamela抽出宝贵的时间来参与我们的活动。一路的鼓励，让我们能够表演完成！感谢上帝让我们一起成长。很高兴认识你。"
Su Teng, 20, Manager, Cast (24 Apr 2011)

“在表演时肢体动作是必须的，我还需要蹲下并移动脚踝。我进退两难，既不想在剧痛中挪动脚踝，又不愿意退出表演。我希望能够在街道上通过表演，向人们传递关于主耶稣的信息，告诉他们耶稣是怎么为了我们的罪死在十字架上的。然后我开始为我的脚踝祷告，很奇妙地“我的腿好了”能快快康复，为耶稣基督而表演。赞美上帝！这是我经历过的最好的事了！感谢丽娥。想念你，也爱你！希望能再次有机会一起工作！The body movement required during the performance would have me squatting and move my ankle. I was in a dilemma. I didn’t want to move my painful ankle as I had sports injury but I don’t want to back out on the performance either. I wanted to send a message out people at the streets about Jesus and how he died for us on the cross to pay for our sins. Praise God! My leg was healed miraculously and I joined the performance. I miss you and I love you! Hope to work together again!”
Grace Quah, 16, Student, Cast (23 Dec 2010)

“You taught us how to start thinking of the script from nothing. I would like to thank you for helping us kick start the drama rehearsals. You gave us comments about acting; the props list was very useful. You went through with us about the sounds/lightings/what to do which was very useful too. The youths were excited and stayed committed too.”
Sis Sherlyn Ang, 25, Youth Leader (3 Jun 2010)
