Amy Leong – Childrens Worker
Amy came from Miri (a town in East Malaysia) to live in Australia at the age of 17 and attended University of Western Australia in Perth. It was during her 2nd year in university that she became a Christian. After she became a Christian, she saw the need and the importance of one coming to know Christ personally. As a young Christian she was given many opportunities to serve in different roles and there she developed the passion of training people in ministry. Amy went to a Bible College in Perth after working for 2 years in a university in Malaysia as a marketing staff. She joined Burwood Chinese Presbyterian Church in mid-July 2005 as the children pastor. She is thankful that her family gave her the blessings to come to Sydney although they are living in Malaysia. Amy believes that building up people for the work of the kingdom should start young!

His responsibility is to teach, lead and guide a group of high school students called Extreme that meets every Sunday morning from 11am. In his free time, Peter enjoys reading, cycling, swimming and hanging around with friends.

Vivian To – part-time Women’s Pastoral Worker
Vivian grew up in a large non-Christian family where fond and difficult times were experienced.  Nevertheless, she views these times valuable because they revealed God’s unfailing love and kindness towards her.  Growing up with 4 other sisters never ceases to give her joy as she plays, hangs and chats endlessly with them, especially on their Sisters’ Day Out.  She worked as a Polymer Chemist prior to studying at the Sydney Missionary Bible College, and currently works p/t at KCC (Katoomba Christian Convention) and spends her other time in church ministries.  Vivian enjoys teaching others to learn new things.  In particular, she loves helping people to come to know and have a firm grip with who Jesus is, and the impact he can have on their lives.

Thomas Lai – Ministry Apprentice
Having worked in the drafting industry for 12 years, Tom commenced on the Ministry Apprenticeship in 2008 to prepare for long term ministry. Having been involved in several short-term missions and church ministry, Tom saw the global needs for the gospel not just locally but overseas. He is currently involved in preaching, discipleship within our youth church, and training emerging leaders in our evening church. The challenge for Tom on MAP is to get a feel for and to experience the challenges of ministry, and how to best respond the them in a Biblical and God honoring way.
