    Gerard Jacobs

    This book is a reflection of Gerard Jacobs' personal involvement in social work within the Christian Church both in sectarian and institutional churches made up of predominantly Singaporean Chinese Christians. Gerard's involvement covers a span of 28 years of Christian ministry in Singapore before moving to New Zealand. While in New Zealand, the work he did in Singapore developed into a postgraduate research thesis at the Tyndale-Carey Graduate School of theology (now Laidlaw College) in New Zealand. Gerard has served as a parish priest in the Anglican Church in New Zealand and was heavily involved in supporting the multi-cultural community during the Christchurch earthquakes of 2010 & 2011. He now resides in Christchurch with his family.
