 Dr Kwa Kiem Kiok

 Dr Kwa Kiem Kiok teaches inter-cultural studies, including classes such as contextualisation, urban ministry and understanding globalisation, at East Asia School of Theology. She sees public theology, how the church interacts with the society around her, as a contextual issue. She is also currently involved in some bioethics committees. Kiem Kiok served in GCF as Graduate Secretary and has also worked in her home church, Trinity Methodist Church in the area of discipleship and nurture.

 

 Mr Benjamin Ho is currently working as a researcher at the S. Rajaratnam School of International Studies, Nanyang Technological University (NTU). His research interests include the study of multilateral institutions in the Asia-Pacific region, US-China political relations, globalisation, mass media and religion. He holds a Bachelor of Communication Studies and a Master in International Relations (both from NTU). Prior to his current job, Benjamin worked as a research analyst in the Singapore government and had also worked as a journalist at the Straits Times. He currently worships at a Mandarin-speaking congregation at Family of Grace Evangelical Free Church and is involved in the church’s Missions, Evangelism and Worship ministries. Outside of church, Benjamin sings with Hallelujah Oratorio Society, a Christian non-profit organisation in Singapore and is also involved with GCF’s Issachar Forum film and faith ministry called Open Eyes in a Darkened Room.
