Administry
The Ad-ministry staff see their work as a calling from the Lord and an act of worship to him. The field staff cannot do without their invaluable, behind-the-scenes contribution and ministry. The next time you visit the office or make a call, do say hello to these precious people that the Lord has sent our way.
A ministry we cannot do without
By Angeline Koh
You will find them quietly serving, attending to phone calls, sorting through paper work, looking after the accounts (making sure we get our pay!), ensuring that guests have clean rooms and beds to sleep on when they check into the dormitory, or just cutting the grass and sprucing up The Navigator building grounds with luscious greenery. The often-taken-for-granted Administration team are a critical support to the smooth operation of The Navigator organisation.
Desmond Hong, our Administrator, joined the team in late October 2009. He came to know the Lord in 1983 and was involved in the campus work with the Malaysian Navigators until 2000. A man with a learner’s heart, he obtained his first degree in 1995, pursued his Masters in 1997, and has recently completed his executive diploma. He is married with one son, and enjoys soccer, badminton and hockey as well as travelling and light music. He keeps close to his heart the verses from Proverbs 30:
8 Keep falsehood and lies far from me;
give me neither poverty nor riches,
but give me only my daily bread.
9 Otherwise, I may have too much and disown you
and say, ‘Who is the LORD ?’
Or I may become poor and steal,
and so dishonor the name of my God.
Wendy, who joined the team in 1989, became a Christian at her Christian Fellowship during her secondary school days. She met the Navigators at a Navigator congress in 1982 and was later discipled by a Navigator in her church. Wendy wanted to use her area of gifting to serve the Lord in a bigger capacity, so she joined The Navigators as a receptionist. Today, Wendy handles the administration for donor management and receipting.
Judy Chong who joined us in May 2007 manages the accounts, from t-Junction (the new TNT youth centre), to missions, to the day-to-day running of the office expenses. She sees her “real” contribution in the area of prayer. Her joining the Navigators was an answer to her prayers for God to open the door for her to serve in the ministry.
Facilities The Administration staff work from The Navigator Singapore building. Function rooms can comfortably take in from 20 to 60 persons while the multi-purpose hall up to 200 persons. Two dormitories can accommodate up to 22 women and 20 men.
