Robin Gan

Pastor Robin was graciously given a new life by God in his teen years and grew under the teaching of Phillip Jensen from the time he went to high school in Sydney, Australia. Subsequently after finishing a Bachelor of Commerce in U.N.S.W. and working in regional marketing in Singapore where he served in Adam Road Presbyterian, he returned to Sydney to train under Phillip in the university ministry at U.N.S.W. and the St. Matthias Anglican Church. Four years of theological study followed in Moore Theological College under the principalship of Dr. Peter Jensen and Dr. John Woodhouse. During this time he conceived of the Gospel Growth Fellowship which has grown and trained hundreds in Gospel-centered ministry. After 3 years of ministry as an ordained minister in the West Malaysian Anglican Diocese, he started the unique ministry that is CERC. He is married to Joy, and they have three children who have all been mercifully saved by God: Ilona, Alethea and Latimer, named after the Anglican martyr and Reformer.

Mark Leong

Mark was gripped by the gospel while studying Computer Science and Business Management at the University of Birmingham, England. As a student, he was actively involved in his campus Christian Union and joined the Relay training programme run by Universities and Colleges Christian Fellowship (UCCF) upon graduation. During the year with UCCF, Mark grew increasingly burdened by the gospel need back home, leading him to return to Malaysia in 2010 on the lookout for ways in which he could invest his life to grow the gospel.

During the past eight years as a member of CERC, Mark has spent a year working with the Malaysian Fellowship of Evangelical Students (FES) as well as three years on CERC's Church Minister's Apprenticeship programme. He currently leads the SS2 Growth Group, is head of the church IT department and serves as a partner of the Gospel Growth Fellowship (GGF). He is married to Leong Hui Chuin, works as an IT Manager in a local fintech company and is looking to further equip himself with theological training in the UK in the not too distant future.

Sam Ye Han

Sam was first exposed to Christianity during his secondary school years but didn’t take the faith seriously until he met a friend from university who showed him the gospel tract, Two Ways To Live. In his first year at the International Medical University, he was convinced from the gospel that man only has one way to honor their Creator, which is to follow His Son, Jesus Christ. From then on, he reorganized his life to be centered on Jesus and took the ministry of the gospel seriously which resulted in being baptized in CERC. Subsequently, he committed to being a member of the church, a decision that still holds dear to him. After completing clinical training at the University of Otago in New Zealand, he graduated with a Bachelor of Dental Surgery and returned to Malaysia to work as a dental surgeon in public service.

He served as a dental officer in the Ministry of Health for a year and a half prior to working under the Ministry of Education in the National University of Malaysia which is where he is currently placed at.

He has been married to his beloved wife, Joni since January 2018 and are enjoying serving the church together as a married couple under God.
