2010 has been a year of adventures for me…

  • January – Aurelia and I taught our first public digital storytelling workshop under the National Book Development Council of Singapore.
  • April – I registered Digital Storytelling Asia as a sole proprietor / entrepreneur.
  • July to August – Aurelia and I made our 46-day journey to the USA. We spent time with friends, got further training at the Center for Digital Storytelling (CDS), taught a digital storytelling (DS) workshop to Navigator staff, and made a presentation to 90+ Christians involved with the Arts and Media.
  • September – I left the Navigators Singapore officially after 22 years of ministry.
  • September – Aurelia and I co-directed the Asian Digital Storytelling Congress held at the National Museum and organised by the National Book Development Council of Singapore. God linked me with key movers of digital storytelling. We are now linked on four continents (USA, Australia, UK, and Asia). God gave me a digital storytelling mentor (formerly from BBC UK). He is a man who loves Jesus. CDS (USA) where the digital storytelling movement started endorsed Digital Storytelling Asia.
  • October – I turned 50 on 8 October.
  • Aurelia went back to the Philippines after the Ministry of Manpower rejected her application to renew her employment pass with the Navigators.
  • November – I had to run Digital Storytelling Asia alone… God started to bring others with a vision and heart for to tell stories. We began to meet weekly. I was invited me to introduce digital storytelling to 30+ people from 18 countries who are involved with arts and media.
  • December - God approved Aurelia’s Employment Pass application. She is now a staff member of Digital Storytelling Asia!
  • In all Au and I have run 13 workshops since March 2009 – in Singapore, Philippines, and the USA.

What I Don’t Know – A Journey in Lifelong Learning

When I was learning to make a website, I asked some web designers friends if they could give me an introduction. I borrowed a pile of tutorials from the library and searched the internet.

When I was learning to make a website, I asked some web designers friends if they could give me an introduction. I borrowed a pile of tutorials from the library and searched the internet. I tried making a website. When I exhausted every avenue of self-learning and hit a wall, I signed up for a course in web designing knowing what I didn’t know. I took up classes armed with questions much to the irritation of my teacher who wanted to stick to what he wanted to teach instead of what I needed to learn.

That has generally been how I tackle learning. This season is different.

When I left my job as a graphic designer in 1988 to become a missionary, people patted me on my back for my faith. I was answering a noble calling (1 Timothy 3:1). I was close to a promotion at my work place. It was nerve-wracking to leave the security of knowing a pay packet awaited me at the end of every month.

I never lacked. God provided for me all these 22 years.

In September 2010, I left my nest of comfort and security as a missionary to go back into the “secular” world to start a business. It’s harder to explain why one would leave the “ministry.” Is there a distinction between the secular and the sacred? Is Sunday more sacred than Monday? God wants all of me.

Leaving my job in 1988 took every bit of faith. Leaving my “ministry” recently took even more. I turned 50 this year. One doesn’t make that kind of decision rashly at 50. There’s too much to lose and too many new things to learn.

After being in a ministry for more than 22 years, you can’t help but know your way around. In my quiet moments I wondered if God were to leave the scene, would things still work? Am I still living by faith?

Coming to Christ requires faith. The truth is, having come to Christ, that same faith is still required of me. God spoke to me then and I followed him. God spoke to me again to venture into a new arena – to be a blessing to those beyond the church (why keep the blessing?) He spoke and I followed.

I am totally out of my league in this new arena. I used to think I know what I don’t know. Now I know I don’t know what I don’t know! One day I will once again know what I don’t know. Then I can work at learning what I don’t know. Then I will know.

A disciple of Jesus is a life-long learner.
