Looking for a place where they could share in a church planting vision and help build God’s kingdom, Alvin and Cheryl found themselves at Redemption Hill Church.
That was in April 2009. Now more than a year later, the thirty-something couple is doing just want they had set out to do – they are leading a community group and helping in the set up and welcome teams – serving and contributing towards building God’s Kingdom.
Alvin and Cheryl both came to the Lord in 1985, Alvin during an evangelistic crusade, and Cheryl when her sister shared Christ with her. Today, they are both passionate in their walk with the Lord, and looking for deeper experiences still.
“In the next three years, we would like to see growth in our personal walk with God, parenthood, discipleship, and missions,” say the Poons, parents to three-year-old Charlotte.
What in RHC has impacted them the most? “The vibrant multi-cultural community and being able to share lives with many Christians with so much passion and life encounters with God,” said the Poons.
Alvin’s life is guided by Acts 20:24: “But I do not account my life of any value nor as precious to myself, if only I may finish my course and the ministry that I received from the Lord Jesus, to testify to the gospel of the grace of God.”
As for Cheryl, she counts as her life verse Proverbs 3:5-6 “Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make straight your paths.”
Faithful, godly people!
