Cru Singapore's national directors (left to right): William Lim, Chan Chong Hiok, Victor Koh, Goh Hock Chye, Lam Kok Hiang, Roland Tan
One of the most remarkable blessings God has bestowed on Cru Singapore is a privilege that few ministries can claim: all five of our former national directors are still actively serving among us. Their continued presence is more than a historical distinction—it is a living testimony to God's enduring faithfulness across generations.
The writer of Hebrews exhorts us, "Remember your leaders, who spoke the word of God to you. Consider the outcome of their way of life and imitate their faith" (Hebrews 13:7, NIV). We are not simply called to remember what our leaders accomplished, but to observe how they lived and to imitate the faith that sustained them. Their greatest legacy is not the ministries they built, but the lives they continue to live faithfully before God.
In a culture that celebrates what is newest, fastest, and most innovative, God's kingdom calls us to honour those who have walked faithfully over the long journey. Our former national directors have carried the weight of leadership, navigated difficult decisions with courage, embraced change with wisdom, and remained steadfast in the calling God entrusted to them. Their lives remind us that lasting influence is forged not through momentary success, but through decades of quiet, faithful obedience.
One of the greatest privileges of my own journey has been spending intentional time with these leaders—over meals, in personal conversations, and in shared moments of reflection. These are not merely occasions to reminisce. They are opportunities to listen, to learn, to seek counsel, and to hear afresh the stories of God's faithfulness.
Without exception, I leave every conversation refreshed. Their love for Christ remains vibrant. Their passion for the mission has not dimmed. They remind me that while strategies may evolve, our calling remains unchanged—to make disciples everywhere.
May we never overlook the priceless treasure God has already placed among us. Let us honour our elders by listening to them, learning from their wisdom, seeking their counsel, and expressing our gratitude while we still have the privilege of walking alongside them. One day, today's leaders will become tomorrow's elders—and my prayer is that Cru Singapore will always be a community where every generation is valued and the baton is faithfully passed on.
When we honour those who have gone before us, we do more than celebrate their legacy. We honour the God who sustained them—and who will remain faithful for every generation to come.

数算新加坡学园传道会从 神所领受的众多祝福中，尤其珍贵的是五位前会长都还在我们当中积极地服事 神。他们的坚持不仅是值得记载的历史记录，更 神跨越世代、长久信实的鲜活见证。
《希伯来书》的作者劝勉我们说：“你们要记念那些领导过你们，把 神的道传给你们的人；你们要观察他们一生的成果，要效法他们的信心”(希伯来书13:7，新译本)。我们受教不单要铭记领袖们所成就的，更要留意他们的言行并效法那支撑他们生命的信心。他们最深远的影响并非过去所建立的事工，而是至今仍忠心活在 神面前。
当世界极力崇尚最新、最快、最具创新精神(的价值观)时，天国呼吁信徒尊荣那些在漫长旅程中忠心的人。历任会长曾肩负领导重任，以勇气应对艰难抉择，以智慧拥抱改变，并始终坚守 神所托付的使命。他们的人生提醒我们：论影响，有者胜在一鸣惊人、红红火火；也有人数十年如一日默默忠心地服事，究竟谁的影响能久远呢？
我个人经历中最大的荣幸之一，便是能刻意与个别领袖短暂相处，或餐桌上的交流、或闲聊家常、有时一起反思。那不仅是单纯的叙旧；而是倾听、学习、寻求指引以及重温 神信实作为的契机。
每每交谈后，我都无一例外地重新振作。他们对基督的爱依然炽热；对宣教使命的热忱也未曾减退。他们让我明白：尽管方法可以与时俱进，但我们的呼召始终不变，就是去使万民作主耶稣基督的门徒。
但愿我们不轻忽 神安置在我们当中的财富。让我们向属灵长辈们致以敬意：趁着我们还有幸与他们携手同行，去倾听他们的心声，汲取他们的智慧，寻求他们的指引，并且表达我们的感激之情。殊不知，朝如青丝暮成雪——我祈愿新加坡学园传道会作为属灵运动，能贯彻珍惜每一代人、忠心地把大使命交棒给新一代。
当我们向前辈致敬，不仅仅是纪念他们的事迹；我们是在尊荣 神，就是众人信心的创始成终者，祂的慈爱永远长存。
