Life has been an adventure with God for Choon Khing ever since her conversion in 1966. From an early infantile understanding of God’s call to nursing in UK (1970-75), she gradually discovered that her varied stations in life, are merely creative expressions of God’s primary call as God’s beloved, whether as a nurse, midwife, missionary, social worker, librarian, counselor, seminary lecturer, or a spiritual director. She is passionate about investing her life in eternity, because of a strong conviction that there is only one life to live, and life has no rehearsal.
After 28 yrs in theological education, she took early retirement in 2014, to focus on spiritual direction & retreat work that has evolved into the Contemplative Companions Spiritual Direction Formation Program (CSDP) in Nov 2017 to train spiritual directors. She authored Discerning God in our Life: The Dance of Two Wills (Singapore: STM & Genesis Books, 2016).
In this later season of life, her focus is to provide spiritual direction, pastoral supervision, training spiritual directors & supervisors, and together with a few missional spiritual directors to launch a Mandarin spiritual directors formation program in Malaysia.
She is grateful for her husband, Dr Chow Heap Yeong, a fellow pilgrim in this faith journey, to grow together in God’s Delight, becoming conduits of God’s Love and Grace in our generation.
