I can't believe it's your last cell with us!! 😭☺️ Thank you Joach for leading so faithfully and really guiding the cell. Thank you for teaching us and imparting into our lives. You bring so much joy and goofiness into the cell LOL you presence will be missed. There are times of seriousness and I am thankful for that too. You have made such a HUGE impact to all of our lives, so thank you. The Lord has brought you through so much and He will bring you through many more, even as you go to 5.1!!

You have seen me since I was 13, I am and will forever be grateful for what u have sown in my life. Thank you for entrusting the cell to me, encouraging and believing in me. It truly meant a lot. Under your leadership and guidance I have grown a lot.

I see your love and heart you have for God and I pray the Lord will keep that flame burning in you. Even as you head over to 5.1, may the Lord use you to touch their hearts. I pray that He may impart wisdom and understanding into your life and make you stronger and stronger in Him. We rebuke what lies the enemy might say and believe in God's protection. I leave this verse to you

Isaiah 41:10

Fear not, for I am with you; Be not dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, Yes, I will help you, I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.’

Like how you got my back, God's got your back and so do I. Thanks Joach and see you aroundddd. ITZ NOT GOODBYE 😌😛😆🩵

Hey Joach,

Thank you for being by my side even through the tough times!! I’ve really found a brother in you. Ever since I met you at 15, I’ve grown so much, and a big part of that growth has been because of your guidance, encouragement, and the way you’ve led by example. You’ve shown me what it looks like to serve God faithfully and love others with His heart.

Like Proverbs 27:17 says, "As iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another." You’ve sharpened me in my faith and taught me to hold on to God’s truth even when things get hard. I’m grateful for the wisdom you’ve shared, the laughter we’ve had, and even the serious moments that helped me grow.

One thing I really appreciate is how you never gave up on reminding us to keep God at the center. You’ve been there not just as a leader, but as a brother who always has my back. And I want you to know that just as you’ve stood by me, I’ll always be rooting for you too.

I believe God has so much more in store for you, and I’m excited to see how He’ll use you in the next season. Thank you for all that you’ve sown into my life and in the lives of so many others.

With love and gratitude,

VALERIEEEE

Joach, a blessing I never expected to have. A pillar, a lighthouse, a friend. One in a few who can truly know what I'm thinking and feeling, even in the times I choose not to share it. To me, you were an older brother I never had, for me, you've taken so many steps to just show that you care, and through you, I feel love reciprocated.

I came in to Cornerstone when I was not at a good place, and that with many other reasons was why I stuck with the same three people for a good 4 months of me being here. This in itself was not something that I expected myself to do but it speaks wonders of how where the heart of people like you (faith and minghui as well) was. [And I did not know you prior as well]

I really do not know how you do it, how you show up time after time after time in such a gargantuan way with so much insight, so much thoughtfulness and with so much intention. I still find it fascinating and respectable how much you are able to connect to the things unseen, and I'm not just talking about the spiritual but youre able to touch the unseen of the person, not just the human in front of you, in a manner that hits in the right way. And thats the impression that is going to be left with me for a long time, and the legacy that you have left with if not just me, then the entire cell. A person who is so intentional in his endeavours, who is able to prevail upon his people to pursue the heart of God and the heart of the zone/cell. A man who mirrors the heart of God, a man who knows his priorities and his rationales, a man who on the outside brands upon himself as "Anything Goes" but on the inside is surgical in the way he tends to his sheep.

Thank you for showing up, thank you for imparting your knowledge and your God-given wisdom to the cell, for being the one who changed the whole trajectory of how cell worked (Cell in like June 2024 and now are diametrically opposed polar opposites). Thank you for bringing balance, synergising the solids of the body of the cell into something workable and objective, that is able to bring the cell into further maturation. Thank you for that guidance, that refining, that shaping. I went from a guy who just came in at a very awkward point in a Gener's life to having a mentor and a covering, who has never stopped building me up (please continue to be filterless, I want to hear your raw thoughts about myself and the things that I do, because I appreciate its benefits).

I am truly in full support and also in amazement at your foresight for the mechanics of the whole zone, and am excited to see the shift, and if there is anything that you need support in, I am willing to come in to help.

I've always believed in giving back to people who have given me so much, and I'm so glad that I'm able to do so, to love you the way that you have been showing love to me and just keep walking life with God with us. There is so much I want to say but I need to keep reminding myself that it is not that I'm not going to see you again. But for what you have sown into the cell, what you have sown into me through the cell, we will carry that torch further and further don't you worry, and we will fight for your legacy with the foundations that you have laid down.

I will leave you with what I feel is something that God has for you, and I will take it from the definition of my name, Zachary. God remembers. God remembers the good works you have done for the cell, God remembers your faithfulness in Him, God remembers your servant leadership, and God will remember the things you will do moving forward. But most of all, God has and will always remember you, made in His image. And that despite all else suffice.

Joach, see you soon bro.

I actually had not wanted to join cell group and this was apparent when I first joined. I felt back then that I had more to do yet felt unfulfilled in that time. When I actually came to cell, Joachler asked as the cell leader why I was not coming. Obviously as me, I just said I was busy while I was not. He then asked if I had a certain thing that I liked:and I said video games. I didn’t seem so impactful but I went for cell the the next Saturday and the next and the next.

Soon, I was coming to cell every week when I can. It was a new friend group and was much easier to find. You can imagine how hard it is to find a group that does the same things you yourself do or are okay with it entirely. Joachim helped me find that group when I could not adapt to one. In a sense, he was my door to the house that is 5.2 with god as the rent payer and me as a tenant. I enjoyed sharing offensive jokes which would otherwise get me cancelled and learn how to not go too far. Yes it sounds corny, but Joachim helped me out when I was adjusting to everything.

(Btw I can’t find a photo with him so here’s a meme)

Dear Joachim, you will be my favorite my chaotic my spiritually connected leader this cell has ever had. You will be missed dearly by everyone in the cell, you were this first person to ever introduce me to anyone. You have helped me spiritually and mentally you were there through my highs and my lows, and I was very grateful for that. It sounds like your leaving church but ur just moving cells. Anyways hope u have a good time at 5.1. from Davis

Dear Joachim, thank you. Thank you for being my shepherd, cell leader and friend. From one of my first times meeting you at Gen Cup to now, I’ve grown the so much spiritually and emotionally. Thank you for guiding me in that. Now every time I read Hebrews 4:12, I’d remember how you spent months drilling it into my head. It feels as if your time in the cell ended while mine is just beginning? Thank you for everything, your encouragement and support mean so much to me. BUT! We’d still see each other so no need to get sappy now. You’ve imprinted in me many ideologies and I hope that I’d be able to bring some to reality. I’m thankful for the free dinners and other hangouts. But more than that I’m thankful to have met you. All the best in 5.1, the best is yet to be…

dear Joachim, thank you for all you have done for the cell. I still remember the first time I joined 5.2 at the 2023 Christmas dinner at Ming Hui’s house and all the different cells we had at the stair case at Katong shopping centre. You really made such an impact over my life, I lowly think right if I were to join another cell I would never be as close to God as I am now and I would still be sleeping every service 😂😂😂. You really in a sense made me who i am today, which I will never forget. Like the time you asked me to make notes during church. Also recently all the advice you gave me really helped me go through this new and tough period of my life and I really hope that I can continue walking this journey with you. You are such an amazing mentor, lively person and the best cell leader I could have asked for. Your influence over the cell will forever remain and I hope that we as a cell can continue to carry on your legacy. You really did help me so much in my journey with God and through life. Like even the first time at the dark room you talked to me about how I should always have God in my relationship with Alicia last time, it really helped me realise that God is so important. You will always be my most cherished memory in generations and I will always remember you as my best mentor ever. Even now like that reality of you leaving hasn’t fully sank into me yet, I’ll definitely miss you lots like maybe next next week I might unknowingly ask faith is Joachim coming for cell 😂😂. I really am so grateful that I met you and had you as my cell leader and I sincerely hope that God will always be there for you and that whatever you do you will do it with the best of your efforts and succeed. So thank you Joachim for being the best cell leader, my best friend and the best mentor I could have ever asked for.

-Josh

Dear Joachim,

Even though you're just going next door. I just like to express my gratitude, for all that you have ever done in my life.

I remember the times when you invested into my life, and I wonder where would I be if you didn't.

You had always been an inspiration, and I believe will always be. I believe and I'm sure, it is just the beginning.

One of the greatest thing I had saw in you and hope to learn is to give God everything. Also thank you for spending a big part of your time giving to people.

As you walk into a new field, I pray for 'greater'.

I believe in you, am excited for you and am here for you.

:-)

You have made this cell both so enjoyable and fun! I also want to thank you for the genuine care and concern you have for each of the cell members and know that I really appreciate you.

Man WHY U LEAVING. just kidding i just had a feeling u were leaving sooner than u told me just like a feeling from the holy spirit so im not surprised truly this is Gods Will. Uk i still find it weird that this joachim i see is the same joachim from the STI family i knew and this same Joachim is my Shepard ex cell leader and mentor. I was dreading the say you would leave cause i was being selfish and only thought of what would happen to ME if you left. But you know we both needa grow and progress in life so truly, its time for me to be independent and for you to move on from 5.2.

Ig im scared our relationship will strain but recently ive learned to have faith in Gods will and not my earthly and human concerns but i just know we will walk this life together.

The love i hold for you and sandra is so high that i can confidently say i would do anything for you two and dont test me on this because u WILL do it.

The way God welds you for his Kingdom purpose is commendable and i highly respect you for the sacrifices you have made.

Bruh i sound rlly formal but really why shld i say more, sentiment is a stronghold that stops us from growing.

Speaking of growing “May we both continue to grow in age & in the spirit” ill be in your life always i just wished i spent more time with you in cell and may we continue to have more HANGOUTS.

The way you guide me in how to live my life for Jesus and how to Serve him and i didnt realise u til recently but you have been teaching me subtly how to love him, trust him and serve him even how to worship you or serve him in that area. I thank you and just know i will miss you but i just know we will just serve him with all our hearts and live for HIM and HIM alone. For truly i know thats what our hearts desires. May we receive the kingdom of heaven and the beauty of his love.

I Love You kor kor

Hi Joach

Thx for being such a good cell leader.I remember that last year I didn't want to come for Generations as I was scared and afraid cos I didn't know anyone in generation.But during Sunday school you came to me and ask me if I wanted to join your cell in 2025 but I wasn't sure if I wanted to even join as I thought it was just a waste of time.I even remembered you telling me that it was going to be fun and I won't regret coming for service and cell.I also remember every time you remind me to not get distracted and listen to service.You are like a big brother to me,always checking on me.I really want to thank you for sharing to me more about youth service if not I won't be writing this thank you letter.I just want you to know that you are a very inspiring person and I really look up to you.And I also thank God for putting me in this amazing cell with amazing people. Joachim I pray that you will find success in everything you do. And keep on making songs about God's kingdom and glory. Thanks again for everything you did for the cell.
