I want to be honest right from the start—I struggle with remembering names. It's important to know that it's not a sign of disrespect, and I sincerely apologise if I forget your name shortly after we meet. It's just a challenge I face, and I hope you can be patient with me. If you don't mind reminding me of your name from time to time, I would truly appreciate it. And if you have any suggestions or techniques for remembering names, I'm all ears. Consider this my upfront disclaimer, and I apologise in advance for any forgetfulness on my part.
Now, let me take a moment to introduce myself. My name is Tim Wong. I live with my wife, Bell, our daughter Tin Lam, and our cat, Tigga. I come from Hong Kong, and I made the move to this country last September to study theology at Wesley House in Cambridge. Living here brings me immense joy, especially because I love football so much. I was lucky enough to attend a match at my favourite team's stadium, and it was absolutely amazing. I also love engaging in conversations with people, as I believe there's so much to learn from different perspectives and shared experiences. Please feel free to approach me for a chat—I'm genuinely interested in getting to know each and every one of you.
Serving children and youth within the church has been a part of my life since I was young. I've also spent several years working at an education centre, where I dedicated my time to teaching and guiding youngsters and kids. Being around young people brings me immense happiness. When I became a parent two years ago, I found even greater fulfilment in connecting with toddlers and trying to see the world through their eyes. There's something truly wonderful about building relationships with people of different ages and learning from one another.
In July, I will be fully joining this community, becoming a part of your family. I couldn't be more excited about the role I'll be taking on, serving children, families, and the wider community. I still vividly remember my first visit to this church—the warm hospitality I received, and the time spent with some of you. Those experiences solidified my deep desire to be a part of this church family. I eagerly look forward to seeing all of you and working together to spread the love of Jesus.
