Praise God for His amazing love and mercy. He is good all the time!

Mdm Shanthi Thomas

I began coaching in the English language for GCE "O" level candidate at THP only about 10 years ago, while they were in Jalan Kayu. Prior to that, in the 80's/90's as I was still teaching in the Changi Women's prison, THP would weekly send 2 mature residents to our home in Changi for coaching in English and Bible Knowledge. 2 sets came in the 80's/90's of these 4, some went on to the Singapore Bible College, into ministry in churches including one stint on the "Doulos" while others continued as staff at THP. Praise God for THP.
But despite of my almost crazy mind, God was merciful.

Jeremy Tan Soon Huat

May 2010 was my turning point. As far as I can remember, my mind was so mentally affected by the drugs that had been used. But despite of my almost crazy mind, God was merciful. He enabled me to cry out to him. My prayers have been answered. He had set me free from my drug addiction. I’m very thankful to Him. I responded to Jesus who called me through His word Luke 22:32 “When you have turned back, strengthen your brothers”. I am now joyfully and faithfully serving the Lord Jesus at the Hiding Place as a full time staff.

Thank God for the goodness that has come upon my life.

I tried to quit. To my horror and fear, the more I wanted to quit, the more I got hooked. I felt helpless at this point, asking myself if I was going to be like that for the rest of my life. In this time of distress, I cried out to God for help. Through God’s Mercy and Grace, He led me to a pastor that helped me enroll into the Hiding Place’s residential programme. My relationship with my family was restored. I am now able to communicate well with them. Thank God for the goodness that has come upon my life. Through His mercy, I was brought out of a hopeless situation and now I have decided to follow Him. Please pray that I may grow in faith and be God’s instrument as I journey with Him.
God keeps loving, changing and healing me for the past five years.

Alvin Cross Chow

God spoke to me through Matt 6:24 “No one can serve two masters, either you will hate the one and love the other, or you will be devoted to the one and despise the other, you cannot serve both God and money”. 36 years I have been serving money and power, and in the end I lost everything. In The Hiding Place, I learnt to understand what life is. I thanked God, He never gave up on me, He found me and brought me back into His family. Now I am serving in Hiding Place joyfully, things keep happening, God keeps loving, changing and healing me for the past five years. I am blessed by His love, joy, peace and grace which money cannot buy.
