Psalms 107:1 - Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good; His love endures forever

Joshua Cheong

My life was once consumed by gambling—despite a good career, I fell into debt, stole from home, and nearly lost hope. In 2017, I entered The Hiding Place, where God met me in my brokenness and gave me peace in the midst of divorce and despair. That encounter changed everything.
Stand Steadfast in His Goodness

Satiyan (Sart)

I grew up active and full of life, but bad company led me into stealing, smoking, drinking, and drugs, which eventually landed me in prison and rehabilitation centers. In 1991, I joined The Hiding Place to overcome addiction and discovered that my true need was spiritual—when I accepted Jesus Christ, God restored me physically, mentally, and spiritually.

For you, God, tested me; you refined me like silver. You brought me into prison and laid burdens on my back. You let people ride over my head; I went through fire and water, but you brought me to a place of abundance.

Timothy Tan

I became addicted to heroin at 14 and spent years in and out of rehabilitation and prison, but in 1991 I encountered Jesus at The Hiding Place and began a journey of transformation. Though I relapsed and struggled, God spoke to me during my baptism in 1993, reminding me ten years later of His call when I was arrested again.
He will fill our lives with His grace.

Richard Neo Tay Hock

Before coming to The Hiding Place, my life was trapped in a hopeless cycle of drug addiction—living like a zombie when intoxicated and falling back into old habits whenever I tried to quit. Drugs consumed me completely until a sister in Christ brought me to THP, where I encountered Jesus and found peace through His forgiveness.
