Dear Pastor Tan,

Thank you for taking time to share with us the word of God in our office. Your insight in bringing the word of God to practical applications really impacted my life.

I was in the insurance business and you first came to our agency in 2004 on a monthly basis to share with us the Word. I remembered the first message you shared in 2004, it was about how soul-winning and the insurance business are parallels, and why we should not despise our business but to excel in it. That 1-hour was very important in laying a strong foundation in my career as you gave me a purpose to conduct my business in a professional, excellent and purposeful way, and that gave me the conviction and encouragement not to not quit the business whenever the going gets tough.

Each month you came to share, you provide a missing piece of that puzzle, bringing clarity to my business. Through your sharing, you also encouraged us to increase our value. I took your advice and as a result I made effort to study and upgrade myself professionally, and not remain an insurance salesman.

Today, I’m a Certified Financial Planner (CFP), a lecturer for the CFP program, as well as a lecturer with a local University and a corporate trainer. I have my own General Insurance firm and a training consultancy and doing well in the marketplace bringing financial education to others.

If not for your constant encouragement even up till this day, and sharing from the bible about how God wants us to shine in the marketplace to be salt and light, a New Singaporean to carry the life and light in the marketplace, I would not be where I am today.

I thank God for you!
