“Just as the son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve and to give his life as a ransom for many.”
Matthew 20:28

Not to forget, there is just so much you can learn along the way and many lives will be blessed by your service.

You are always welcome to volunteer your services whenever you are ready and available after you have consulted your leaders. Not forgetting that you have to know how to manage your time well.

1. Select a ministry of your choice that allows you to develop your potential best.

2. Check if you meet the requirements via the website, or in-person at the Ministry booths on 5 and 12 March 2011.

3. Express your interest to your leader and seek his/her advice and approval.
