SPEAKER: DR ADRIAN TAN
The outreach conference this year featured an engaging workshop facilitated by Dr Adrian Tan, with support from facilitators James Tan, Jonathan Tan, Kan Kwong Chung, Anthony Yeap and the Crisis Relief Wesley Committee.
DANCE: LOVING YOUR NEIGHBOUR IN CRISIS
The session began with a meaningful dance titled Loving Your Neighbour in Crisis, written and choreographed by Dr Adrian Tan. Together with his son Jonathan, Dr Tan led participants in this creative, expressive dance, inspiring all to reflect on how we can serve our neighbours, especially in times of crisis.
MEDICAL CLINIC STIMULATION
Participants then experienced a hands-on session where they designed miniature medical clinic setups. Each group was provided with small-scale materials—paper tables and chairs, crowd control tape and sticky pads for signage—to simulate clinic flow and stations.
• James Tan shared practical considerations for setting up each station• Groups enthusiastically presented their clinic layouts, innovating ways to adapt even in challenging conditions such as rain
• Some even added a children’s mission corner in the waiting area, showcasing creativity and compassion
LOGISTICS GAME
The final activity was a logistics simulation where groups were given vehicles such as trucks or bicycles and tasked with overcoming obstacles like floods, traffic jams, vehicle breakdowns and even animals blocking the road.
• Kan Kwong Chung shared from real CRW experiences of navigating similar challenges in the field—including waiting patiently, adapting to delays and even using a zip line to cross a flooded rive
A HEART TO SERVE
Throughout the workshop, participants were not only equipped with practical skills but also inspired with a deeper conviction to serve others through outreach. The combination of creativity, teamwork and real-life mission insights reminded us that with God’s love and wisdom, we can bring hope and care to those in need—no matter the circumstances.
For Emily Chiang, the workshop provided a deeper understanding of what Crisis Relief teams experience.
She said, “I always thought rescue missions were welcomed by all governments. I didn’t realise that some are unwelcome and that missioners sometimes have to be sent back home. I didn’t know there were so many obstacles along the way. Yet God always leads the missioners to find a way through the challenges. It’s truly amazing.”
