Core Team

Stephen has been with AsiaCMS since its inception and now steps into this new role at the helm while he continues to lead the South Asia Region. He has an M.Div., and an MA in International Relations. After a brief stint in the corporate world after university, he has worked extensively in Missions and has a breadth of experience in the areas of peace building and community development in the region.

Dr. Chan holds a PhD in Intercultural Studies with a focus on Missions and Leadership in cross-cultural situations. He has been in ministry in the past as a cross-cultural church planter, trainer, senior pastor and denominational leader. Dr. Chan desires that churches, Christian organisations and Christians from diverse backgrounds collaborate to fulfil God’s mission – people engaged with the gospel, churches planted, and the love of Christ demonstrated in practical ways.

T. GT has more than 15 years of on-ground voluntary and full-time mission experience in reaching the next generation and using tech for good. In addition to his work with AsiaCMS, he manages various media platforms. His missions involvement is an amalgamation of his unique experiences and history. He has a Masters in
Sustainable Development and uses that knowledge to provide consultation to businesses for socio-economic growth for communities. At his local church, he leads the university-students group and intentionally mentors the next generation in faith.

Cynthia has over 20 years of experience in the accounting and audit field across multiple industries. Through AsiaCMS, Cynthia has found a valuable opportunity to deepen her understanding of mission service and her desire to be a channel of God’s love. She views this experience not merely as a job, but as a journey of joy, firmly believing it to be God’s work, not hers!

Eddie has been working in the field of accounting for more than 35 years in the
commercial sector. Soon after completing his professional studies in CIMA (The
Chartered Institute of Management Accountants), he started his career in an audit
firm for 3 years, where he learned most of the local accounting standards. Presently,
he is a treasurer of board of New Hope Centre A/G, a local church in Kuala Lumpur
since 2022.

Qarlene (Q for short) loves reading and writing and pursued her degree in
Communication. She believes that all forms of communication are important,
especially when building and maintaining a relationship with God. Besides her work
with AsiaCMS, Q passionately serves at her local church and community as a part of
their Sunday school, music team and church board.

Daniella consistently seeks to learn new things. She embraces challenges as
opportunities for growth, knowing that in time, God can and will use the gifts He has
given her for His glory.

This has given her a wide range of skills to adapt to the
various roles she has at her local church, the work she does with children and youth,
the duties she fulfils for the South Asian Christian Youth Network as one of the
coordinators, and with AsiaCMS – leading communications for the South Asia Team.

With a background in Human Resources and an MBA in International Management, Eleena values deep relationships and purposeful collaboration. Her experience across cultures and her heart for people have equipped her to adapt to the different roles she holds — encouraging leaders and partners through her work as Programs and Partnerships Manager with AsiaCMS, serving on various teams at her local church, or simply journeying with others in everyday ministry, trusting that God can use each connection for His greater purpose.

Ashish is a Theological Educator with a Master of Theology (Missiology). He is presently pursuing a Doctor of Ministry at Asbury Theological Seminary. He loves meeting young people and is a passionate teacher and preacher in different churches.

With a musical background, he leads the choir and oversees the recording studio at the theological institution that he is attached with. Ashish believes that the biblical mandate of mission constrains us to reach out to the unreached, to present Christ and an authentic gospel through action that is transformative.

Passionate about promoting child wellbeing, Esther is a safeguarding and psycho-social practitioner with expertise in safeguarding systems, training, and policy development. Beyond her roles with AsiaCMS, she works independently as a consultant, supporting non-profit organizations across the region.

Joshua, an ordained elder and dedicated businessman, serves his local church and
engages in mission work across Vietnam. As the Country Coordinator, he partners
with local churches, focusing on outreach to rural and tribal communities and
counsels tribal pastors and their spouses, strengthening their families.

He also runs a mercy ministry, providing accommodation and care for impoverished tribal parents
whose children are undergoing treatment for serious heart conditions. Joshua also
loves to support youth ministry through sports outreach, camps, and discipleship
programs, equipping the next generation of believers
