After 3 amazing years in York and a few weeks to settle back in Singapore, I start work with the Singapore Prison Service today and thus begin a new chapter in my life story.
Captains of Lives
The notion of Captains of Lives is built on three basic principles:
REHAB is a commitment to our programmes and counsellors within the system to support inmates who have proven that they want and are able to change.
RENEW is a commitment an inmate makes to change his/her life for the better. Looking beyond their imprisonment, they demonstrate a willingness and desire to renew their lives.
RESTART is a commitment to garner the support of the community. Through the CARE Network, our offenders are given the opportunity to restart their lives.

Incidentally, my church's memory verse(s) of the month for Sep is Ephesians 6:7-8.
"Serve wholeheartedly, as if you were serving the Lord, not men, because you know that the Lord will reward everyone for whatever good he does, whether he is slave or free." - Ephesians 6:7-8 (NIV)
Time to Work
"There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under heaven." - Ecclesiastes 3:1 (NIV)
In His time
In His time
He makes all things beautiful in His time
Lord, please show me everyday
As You're teaching me Your way
That You do just what You say
In Your time
"Finish your outdoor work and get your fields ready; after that, build your house." - Proverbs 24:27 (NIV)
