Speaker - TC Choong has been involved in the legal sectore most of his career. He was variously a law lecturer (at the National University of Singapore), a partner at one of the then biggest law firms in Singapore, the proprietor of a legal practice specialising in China Practice and finally, a regulator in Hong Kong's securities industry.

In 2002, TC moved his whole family to Hong Kong believing that he had been called to serve God in North Asia. Some years later, feeling indebted to God's blessing for his whole family, TC surrendered his secular career to God and began teaching God's Word full time. By God's grace, in the course of his ministry TC has led hundreds to Christ.

After more than a decade away, he is now based back in Singapore and is focusing on teaching His Word. He is happily married with three sons.

TC will share his story with us.
