Anything else you would like to say![]
- When I came into MCCF, I just wanted to find a place to serve. Thanks to God that He made this position available for me. I enjoyed it a lot. Every position to serve is a God's blessing.
- I enjoyed being a GM mainly because I feel that I’m gifted in being organized and doing very detailed things. It may not be a position that gets a lot of attention, but I believe that it is also a very meaningful serving position. If the logistics things aren’t working out, it is likely to create negative impression to newcomers!
- I really enjoyed being the GM for many reasons. Most of the work done by GM is behind the scene so there won't be a lot of exposure; however I took pride in knowing that my contribution helped to make MCCF a more enjoyable place for us all. Also I think weekly emails is an important medium of communication between co-workers and members, and should not be over-looked!
