Speakers

 

Andrew Gardener is the Senior Pastor of The Vine Church (www.thevine.org.hk), a multi-cultural and multi-generational international church in Hong Kong with two locations in Wan Chai and Yuen Long. His main responsibilities include overseeing spiritual leadership, creative and strategic  vision creation and implementation, as well as preaching and teaching across the life of the church.

In addition, Andrew provides strategic guidance and support to the Executive Director of Branches of Hope (www.branchesofhope.org.hk), a registered NGO under The Vine Church that does work in the areas of refugee and asylum seekers, anti-human trafficking, and education opportunities for the underproviledged.

Passionate about biblical and social justice, Andrew was the co-founder of The Justice Conference Asia, a three-day annual conference designed to provide advocacy and awareness of the key social justice issues affecting Asia. The conference took a break during the pandemic and will relaunch in September 2025.

Outside of The Vine, Andrew is Chair to the board of Mother’s Choice (www.motherschoice.org), a Hong Kong based non-profit organisation that serves children without families and crisis pregnancies through adoption and foster care services.

Andrew was born in the UK and moved to Hong Kong at the age of 11, where he met and later married his wife, Christine. They have a beautiful adopted daughter Mia. Andrew has dual bachelor’s degrees in Philosophy and Psychology from Durham University in UK and a Graduate Diploma in Theology (GradDip Theol) and a Masters in Theology (MTh) from Laidlaw College in New Zealand.

Andrew is the speaker for the CCR Church Camp 2025 adult segments.


 

Melvin was born and raised in Singapore. He studied Sociology at the National University of Singapore (NUS) and received his Master of Divinity from Singapore Bible College.

He was brought to Wesley Methodist Church Singapore at the age of 2 by his grandaunt but only surrendered himself to God at the age of 16. God’s calling was evident even as he placed Melvin in various ministries before serving him full-time immediately after NUS. Melvin believes that God places him in areas where he is weak at. Through that process, he has learnt to serve all ages from the little ones to the seniors in his kingdom. After 16 years of service at Wesley, he was called out to Calvary Baptist church during the pandemic where he learnt the meaning of truly being in a community.

Melvin has been married to Si Ping since 2009 and they have two kids, Elliot and Olivia. Si Ping is an educator and they are very much complete opposites in psychological tests. That being said, they both love long walks, long talks and having friends over to hang out.

Melvin’s passion is in shepherding and worship. He loves to be there for people and finds great joy in conversations, especially over a cup of black coffee. He desires for the church to be a huge family loving Christ together. His interests are in music, both listening and playing. He unwinds by going for a swim or a run but it would be better playing a team sport, especially basketball.

Melvin is one of the speakers for the CCR Church Camp 2025 children segments.


Bernice was born and raised in Singapore. She studied Chinese at the National University of Singapore (NUS). 

She accepted Christ at the age of 6 when she attended a leader’s prayer meeting with her dad out of the fear of going to hell. After a series of failures in her studies and crossroad moments in her teens, she came to understand the true meaning of Salvation in Christ. This has allowed her to experience the love of God in different ways which has encouraged her in the later part of her studies!

Bernice strongly believes in journeying with others so that they may experience God’s love and joy in the community they are in. In turn, they will bring encouragement and hope to others with their stories, especially children! She desires for children and youth to find fulfilment and purpose in their everyday life because life is full of adventure in Christ, regardless of age!

Bernice met her husband, Melvin, in Evangel Family Church while they were both serving in the Youth Ministry. They got married in 2013 and have 3 beautiful kids: Emma, Ezekiel, and Elizabeth! 

Bernice enjoys watching Chinese and Korean dramas and variety shows. She also loves baking different kinds of bread and cakes! But one of her greatest interests is to bring people together over food and conversation.

Bernice is one of the speakers for the CCR Church Camp 2025 children segments.
