Sally Wong, Board Member Property Officer, Transportation Agency
Sally's involvement with TCM started many moons ago in 2007 serving as a tutor in EPIC (Education Provided in Community), where over the years (span of which a few cohorts of students grew into adults!), she witnessed the powerful impact of doing life in a community that looks to Christ. While her professional journey has taken a few turns in construction, real estate and legal sectors, she is grateful and excited for the opportunity to support the TCM ministry in a different capacity as a board member.
Sally’s hope is that TCM will continue to be the hands and feet of Jesus, to point to Christ through loving and caring for the communities it serves.
