Evangel Family Church

Marion Lim

Marion Lim led Evangel Family Church as Senior Pastor from 1994 to 2008. She is presently a Founding Pastor and committed to missionary endeavors in China. Marion became an ordained minister with the Assemblies of God of Singapore in 1991. In May 1997, she was conferred with an Honorary Doctor of Divinity from Bethesda Theological Seminary (California, USA) by Dr David Yonggi Cho. She is a dynamic and anointed speaker who is able to communicate in the English, Mandarin and Hokkien languages. Her unique, simple and direct preaching style has blessed many, both locally and around the world. In August 2000, Marion was one of the guest speakers invited to preach and challenge 30,000 pastors and leaders at the RCA Dome at the Third Triennial World Assemblies of God Congress and 2000 Celebration in Indianopolis, USA.

She is also a gifted and established gospel singer. At Dr Cho Yonggi’s crusades, the doors were opened for her to sing to 40,000 and 35,000 people at the National Stadium (Singapore) in 1982 and Stadium Negara (Malaysia) in 1984 respectively. Marion also sang for Billy Graham’s Mission World Asia in 1990, which was telecast from Hong Kong throughout Asia with 100 million viewers. In many occasions, she had ministered in songs at Yoido Full Gospel, the world’s largest church in South Korea. As a recording artiste and composer, she has been featured in three gospel albums, her latest being "Until Then" (released in 2009).

Marion’s preaching and singing ministries have impacted congregations in Australia, Malaysia, New Zealand, Philippines, Japan, South Korea and USA. Her messages and songs have always resonated her deep passion and love for the spiritually lost. She had a strong conviction to provide a church building for the next generation of Evangel and to see her congregation impact the community. God directed her with a vision to purchase a government approved land. For almost 36 years, EFC has continuously given to support both local and world missions despite having no permanent place of worship. On Christmas Day, 25 December 2002, the vision was fulfilled when Evangel had her first service in a new six-storey church building. Marion is married to Robert and they have three children, Dale, Kirk and Dayna, and two grandchildren, Joseph and Jada.
