Chapel services at Paya Lebar Methodist School helped Dr Rachel Rajagopal, a Singaporean Christian from a Hindu background, to understand the message of the gospel and at the age of 13 she accepted Jesus as her saviour.
Nearly two decades later, when she was part of a discipleship group with 11 others led by her church leader, Dr Rajagopal understood that she also needed to make Jesus Christ her Lord.
Changed priorities
Her priorities shifted as she placed Jesus as her absolute authority and God began to open doors for further education – starting with short certified courses, leading to her gaining a masters degree in Education and Intercultural Studies from Singapore Bible College.
