We are right in the middle of the Lenten season. I We are right in the middle of the Lenten season. If you are still looking to start your Lent reflections, we’re here to help.

Lent is the 40 days (not including Sundays) from Ash Wednesday to the Saturday before Easter. This year, Ash Wednesday fell on 22 Feb, Good Friday falls on 7 April and Resurrection Sunday on 9 April.

Besides fasting (abstaining from something to reduce distractions and focus more on God), many Christians also focus on prayer and giving during Lent. It is also a time for Christians to reflect on the works of Jesus on the cross.

Whether you’re new to observing Lent or you want to encounter Jesus in a deeper way this season, we prepared a guide (with links for more reading) that would hopefully be useful for you. We’ve included some testimonies of how God has blessed others as they sought Him during the season of Lent.

Andrea Khoo has been serving in CityWorship as a k Andrea Khoo has been serving in CityWorship as a keyboardist since 2014. Outside the church, she does funding and policy work at NAC, supporting the growth of the music industry and Singaporean musicians through various funding schemes and strategic initiatives.

In January this year, Andrea received the Commendation Medal at the National Day Awards, a ceremony that marks the achievements of public service officers in Singapore.

Receiving the award exceeded her expectations entirely. “To be honest, I feel completely floored and humbled by this [award],” she admits. “Being someone who grew up in church and whose music experience largely came from being in church, I never expected that God would give me this great opportunity in my work to serve and nurture musicians beyond the church walls, let alone be recognised for it!

“I hope to let musicians and creatives know that they matter, and what they bring to the world through their art is precious.”

Shane Lim is a preschool teacher and a volunteer w Shane Lim is a preschool teacher and a volunteer with Harvest Kidz. He is among the 1 percent of male preschool teachers in Singapore, and one so notable that he has been featured twice in the local news in his eight years on the job.

One year later, during a cell group meeting, God prompted him to study early childhood education.

“God, are You sure?” was Shane’s first response. He never wanted to be a teacher because he was never the best student. He used to joke that if he ever became a teacher, as punishment, his students would behave the same way he did as a student.

Nevertheless, he asked God for further confirmation of His word. That came at a children’s birthday party, when the children started playing with him once he arrived. God reminded Shane that he was gifted with kids.

A final validation came in the form of a friend’s comment when Shane shared the prompting God had given him. His friend said, “I can see that fire in your eyes that you had when you first became a Christian.” With that, Shane made the decision to switch careers and attained his early childhood education diploma from Seed Institute.
