Promoting Spiritual Friendship in Church and Society through:
Training
Equipping people to live out relationally healthy lives in the church and in the world.
Mentoring
Training mentors and running mentoring groups to help followers of Jesus grow in Christlikeness.
Publishing
Bringing to life books that promote spiritual friendship and connect the Word of God with the issues of daily life.
Why Spiritual Friendship?
Spiritual friendship is friendship that is rooted in Christ for the purpose of helping followers of Jesus grow in Christlikeness. Our model for spiritual friendship takes its cue from Jesus, who called together a community (Matthew 4:18–22) at the start of His public ministry.
The Christian life can be described as following Jesus in the company of friends. But how many of us have these vital and life-giving relationships in place.
Why Publishing?
It is all too easy to live a life that divides the sacred from the secular. But we believe that all of life is lived under God; that there is no such divide.
So we publish books to help followers of Jesus Christ embrace spiritual friendship, and live out their faith in the world. Our books help them connect the Word of God with the issues of daily life — truth for life — issues like busyness, young adulthood, marriage, parenting, growing old, work as worship to God, politics, corruption, to name a few.

The Times They Are A-Changin’
I missed what may probably have been the most important event in Malaysian history in my lifetime. I was on a plane to Vancouver when the 14th Malaysian general election was taking place. Of course I was praying long before this day and kept shooting up silent prayers...
What’s The Use of Praying
I want to start by apologising to my fellow Malaysians. I won't be voting on May 9th. I will be on a flight to Vancouver where I have ministry commitments. These are commitments made long ago. I was hoping the elections would be this weekend but it was not to be....
How Was Your Weekend?
This was how I spent my last weekend. Friday and Saturday I helped lead a retreat for key leaders and centre managers of St Luke's Elder Care (SLEC). Of all the ministry requests for the weekend, this came the latest. I said yes for a number of reasons. The CEO of...
The Call to Die
Dietrich Bonhoeffer (4 February 1906–9 April 1945) The first thing that strikes you about the writings of Dietrich Bonhoeffer and the last thing that remains with you is probably this line: "When Christ calls a man, he bids him come and die." Here is the part of the...
