Pastor Ed’s twin passion in ministry is expository preaching and leadership mentoring. In both arenas, he serves as a valued thought leader. His insightful teachings have made him a sought-after speaker in major cities around the world, including Asia, Africa, UK, Canada, USA, Latin America, Europe, Russia and the Middle East.
Having served as the former senior pastor of Covenant Evangelical Free Church for 25 years, he pastored a small congregation through discipleship, and established one of the most influential disciplemaking mega-churches in Singapore.
Pastor Ed then transited in January 2012 to serve the Body of Christ at large as the founder of the Global Alliance of Intentional Disciple Making Churches. He continues to mentor top-level leaders in Singapore and beyond.
Academically, Pastor Ed distinguished himself in 2003 by completing a Master of Arts degree at the Trinity Evangelical Divinity School, USA in less than 9 months, and graduated summa cum laude.
He also contributes to theological education, having taught D.Min courses on discipleship and leadership at four seminaries in three countries. He has written several books, including “Growing Deep in God”, “Mentoring Paradigms”, “Cultivating Your Inner Life, A Certain Kind”, and “Radical Discipleship”.
Pastor Ed is married to Ann, who actively ministers alongside him, and they have two adopted daughters, Amanda and Belicia.
