Trainers:

Ps Yam Keng Mun is a trained clinical psychologist. In 2011, he joined the pastoral team of Covenant EFC. His personal experience as a cancer caregiver for the past six years has heightened his sense of urgency to equip others who are coping with cancer. These include patients, survivors, caregivers, friends and ministry leaders. He holds a certificate in Palliative Care from California State University, and completed the Cancer Care Ministry Leadership Training at the Cancer Treatment Centers of America.

Rebecca Yam serves on staff at Covenant EFC’s Missions Office. As a cancer survivor and Ps Keng Mun’s wife, she is no stranger to the impact cancer has on faith journeys. Trained in healthcare and counselling, she has a burden to equip Covenanters to walk with one another in their discipleship journeys. Together with her husband, Rebecca completed her Cancer Care Ministry Leadership Training at the Cancer Treatment Centers of America.

Dr Woon Wah is a trained medical doctor. She took time off from her profession to be a full-time mother to raise her five children. She has since returned to the medical profession and has been looking after palliative cancer patients for the past nine years. Psychological and emotional needs of cancer patients and their caregivers usually exceed their medical needs. Woon Wah hopes to use her experience to equip patients and their caregivers to make their journey through cancer less painful and more purposeful.
