Alan and Marie started volunteering as House-couple , Prayer couple  in 2002 , the year they got married. And progressed to becoming Presenters in 2006 after their first child was born. Blessed with two boys and one daughter , volunteering in CEE has given them the opportunity to deepen their faith and strengthen their own marriage as they served other couples preparing for a married life. This will be their third stint on the Board as Finance Couple . As a couple they also support the Franciscan Friars of Renewal in bringing Coffee of the Cross to Singapore which supports communities in Nicaragua.
