Brother Martin sits with the musicians as the Sunday School worship leader leads the children to a dance around the room. A familiar and friendly face you see at church events, Martin never fails to greet you with his smile. Martin Kong Ngian Choi has been with the Children Ministry for about five to six years.<\/p>\n

\u201cI find it okay. I\u2019m still learning from the teachers, hoping one day I can teach the children,\u201d he said. He helps the teachers once a month, sometimes, \u201cI come to listen to the songs\u201d.<\/p>\n

He serves the ministry as a helper, assisting the teachers with the children, taking attendance and such. He would attend to the 4-6 year old \u201cJoseph\u201d class. \u201cUsually with Brother Billy\u2019s class,\u201d he smiles.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy favorite verse from the Bible is John 3:16,\u201d he said. \u201cFor God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life,\u201d<\/strong> he added. In his free time, he likes to read motivational books and visits the book shops. The hard working young man normally comes to the church prayer meetings on Wednesdays with his aunt.<\/p>\n

\u201cI also help with the Sunday school with other things. Every first week of the month, I\u2019d help out with the refreshments,\u201d he added. He admits that he looks forward to the children camp, where he often takes care of the children.<\/p>\n

As the children proceeded to their respective classes, Martin stops for a while and hangs out with the musicians. The shy young man hesitated to have his photo taken at first, but with the help of his friends, he agreed. The church is blessed to have a great helper and servant of God, just like Martin.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
