Kimberly Moey’s calendar is “filled with a blend of activities, including daily time with God and Bible study, academic responsibilities, meetings with Poly Ministry staff and fellow volunteers, church service, quality time with loved ones, active engagement in various outreach initiatives and trying to find time to exercise as well.”

How long have you been serving in Poly Ministry? What is your role?

I’ve been honoured to serve in Poly Ministry for the past nine years and five months. Currently, I serve alongside a team of dedicated full-time staff and fellow volunteers to provide guidance and support to younger leaders within this ministry. With two others, my primary focus is on nurturing the spiritual growth of students from two polytechnics. I am also actively involved in enabling PEP (Prayer Evangelism and Partnership) groups to become student-led.

How would you describe your typical week as a ministry volunteer?

It’s a journey of faithful service and stewardship.

I meet up with students, either one-on-one or in small groups, to share the gospel together, discuss faith in Jesus, study the Bible, and pray together. The time commitment typically spans a few weekday evenings or Saturday mornings to afternoons, but it varies depending on the students’ needs and engagement.

What is your greatest joy or satisfaction as you juggle various aspects of your life?

Witnessing the transformation and growth of the students, seeing them develop a deeper relationship with God and experience the joy of salvation is incredibly fulfilling. It’s a reminder of God’s faithfulness and the power of His Word.

How has serving enriched and deepened your faith? 

It is an ongoing journey of deepening my faith and expanding my understanding of the Bible. I’m consistently spurred to better articulate and defend my beliefs, strengthen my reliance on prayer, and to seek a deeper understanding of God’s Word that I may be more effective in sharing it. Additionally, each day in this ministry teaches me how to love others more deeply. I’m excited to keep growing in all these aspects.

What is a constant problem as you bring the gospel to Poly students?

With busy schedules filled with academic commitments and extracurricular activities, polytechnic students often face time constraints. Consequently, they may not prioritise engaging with the gospel or religious activities. Also, some may perceive they have an unlimited amount of time in future to explore faith in God and so do not commit to meeting me.

I try to overcome this hurdle by building relationship with students I come across. I ask if I can keep them in prayer when I hear about their difficulties. To accommodate their varying schedules, I offer to meet them in the evenings, on weekends or online. Usually for bible studies, I share with them from a topic of their interest and not just stick to a particular series.

How would you like REACH readers to pray for you?

I would be grateful for your prayers for wisdom and discernment in my service, that I may be an effective vessel for sharing God’s love and truth with polytechnic students; for the spiritual growth and openness of the students we minister to and for my health as I’ve been dealing with chronic migraines.
