Navigator communications director bags an award

Posted on November 19, 2008 | Filed Under Communications, News, People

For her exemplary learning journey, Angeline Koh, communications director of The Navigators Singapore, was awarded last night as one of the 16 winners for the Lifelong Learner Awards 2008 at Meritus Mandarin Hotel jointly organised by MediaCorp Pte Ltd, Singapore Workforce Development Agency, NTUC, and SPRING Singapore.

(Angeline Koh, currently on overseas trip, was represented by her nominator Shirley Leong (third from right).)

The Lifelong Learner Awards, now on its seventh year, recognises individuals and companies who “persevere in upgrading their skills and taking on new challenges to stay relevant at work…who proactively put in place a culture of lifelong learning at the workplace…”

Angeline Koh, one of the writer contributors of Chicken Soup for the Singapore Soul, and author of the book How the Moken Sea Gypsies got their Book published in 2007 was nominated by a friend Shirley Leong, who took notice of Angeline’s pursuit to learn and motivate others as well.

Here’s a short article about Angeline Koh published at a local paper Today (19 November 2008, page 25):

Growing up, Angeline was so playful that she neglected her studies. She coasted through secondary school before enrolling in a vocational institute to study advertising art after her O levels. Six months later, she was asked to leave. Discouraged by the expulsion, Angeline felt that she was a failure.

To add to her misery, her thyroid condition worsened. But that period served as a wakeup call to Angeline, and she not only discovered her creative talents, but also her calling at a Christian organisation that specialises in people development, The Navigators Singapore.

She has been with the organisation for 18 years now, starting as a youth worker. During that time, she took up various courses to upgrade her skills, including a diploma in mass communication which she completed in 2002. Her hard work has paid off and today, she is the organisation’s communications director.

Of her journey to success, Angeline said: “I believe that one should never stop learning and that is how I got to where I am today.”

Alumni gathering — a breath of fresh air

Posted on October 27, 2008 | Filed Under Alumni, News, People, Training

It was a breath of fresh air to see the more than 100 alumni come for our Alumni Inaugural Gathering held this afternoon at the Grand Mecure Roxy Hotel. The alumni brought much energy into the event and also hopes of greater partnership to advance the gospel.

Alumnus Alex Lo said, “We hope to reconnect, build a network, rekindle passion for disciplemaking, refire the vision of the Navigators, know what people are doing, align with what they are keen to explore, or offer, and develop discussions to a point where they are comfortable to partner with us. They might not plug back into the Navigators but they could helm disciplemaking efforts in their own churches, or wherever they are, and become ‘labourers next door to everywhere.”

Bengaluru, 10-16 June 2008

India was a time for me to focus on other people, to step out of my comfort zone, and be humble. The ten days were a great learning experience and I hope to apply them from now on. — Suyintha Supramaniam, mission tripper

Respectable Sins

Posted on September 4, 2008 | Filed Under NavMedia News, People

“…those of us whom I call conservative evangelicals may have become so preoccupied with some of the major sins of society around us that we have lost sight of the need to deal with our own more ‘refined’ or subtle sins.”

Come, listen to Dr Bridges address the issue of “Respectable Sins - confronting the sins we tolerate”
