At Calvary Church, we believe that no ministry is meant to stand alone. The work of reaching, discipling, and sending people into the harvest field is most fruitful when we work together—each bringing our strengths to the mission. Evangelism is never a “solo effort” but a symphony, where each ministry plays its part to draw people closer to Christ.

One beautiful example of this harmony is the collaboration among our various church ministries and 3Sixteen. More than just a program, 3Sixteen is an evangelistic tool that creates a safe, welcoming space where seekers can ask honest questions, find fellowship, and encounter the love of Jesus. When ministries partner with 3Sixteen, what begins as curiosity often grows into conviction, and conviction into commitment—a journey of faith that continues in discipleship and community life.

Helping New Faith Take Root

Anne Wong from the Discipleship Ministry shared her joy in inviting the Ma family of five, Ma Jee Choong (JC), Alina Sim, Marcus Ma, Lucas Ma, and Athena Ma to 3Sixteen. “It was heartwarming to see them gain a clearer understanding of who Christ is,” she said. “They were eager and hungry to explore, and the environment allowed them to ask questions freely.”

For Anne, 3Sixteen is a starting point. She sees a natural link between 3Sixteen and other discipleship avenues like My Faith, J12, and School of Christian Growth, that leads participants to continue growing after the program.

Fellowship that Opens Hearts

Wendy Foo from the Chinese Ministry described how God specifically led her to bring Wong Pong Loon (Uncle Wong), to 3Sixteen. “It’s not just head knowledge about Jesus that matters, fellowship is vital,” she reflected. Through 3Sixteen, Uncle Wong found the courage to open up and share especially amongst other men. When Uncle Wong came in wheel chair, he was prayed for. To our delight, he returned to church the following week without his wheel chair!

Creating Spaces for Honest Conversations

Fan Nam Sze, a Life Group member, ran 3Sixteen online sessions before but finds face- to-face sessions to be more effective. This year, God has opened many opportunities for her to witness for Christ, and she is grateful to have successfully invited a colleague, Elly Wong, to participate in 3Sixteen. Elly, anon-Christian who completed six sessions of 3Sixteen, shared that it gave her a new perspective on life and faith, prompting her to reflect on deeper things even while going about her daily routine.

Nam Sze appreciates the relevance of the video played in 3Sixteen. She notes that the small group discussions are facilitated in a casual, open, and non-threatening way, which helps participants feel comfortable sharing their thoughts. Nam Sze encourages more Life Group members to get involved in this programme, as it offers a meaningful way to engage—or re-engage—and rekindle our zeal for evangelism.

These testimonies remind us that the kingdom of God advances best when we serve not in silos but in synergy. 3Sixteen is not an end in itself, but a bridge—linking seekers to Christ, connecting them to discipleship, and planting them in the life of the church.

As Anne, Wendy, and Nam Sze have shown us, when we invite, accompany, and follow through together, lives are changed, faith is nurtured, and Christ is glorified!
