They explore Ivan&#8217;s conversion to becoming a Catholic Christian, the Focolare Movement and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.home.org.sg\">Humanitarian Organization for Migration Economics (H.O.M.E)<\/a> as well as the messiness of Gospel Living. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>ABOUT THE GUEST<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ivan Ng is a Catholic convert of 28 years and a member of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.focolare.org\/en\/\">Focolare Movement<\/a> which strives to fulfill Jesus last wish on the Cross that may all may be one (John 17:21) through living the Gospel in their daily lives. Married to his beloved wife, Alve, and the father of three adult children, Ivan retired from his banking career seven years ago and now volunteers with different marginalized communities including migrant workers, lonely elders and adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Ivan says his motivation to serve these groups is to love Jesus in the least (Matthew 25:40) and to have a positive impact on others. In return he says that he receives hundredfold for whatever he gives, as Jesus promised.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"595\" src=\"https:\/\/customwordpresssites.com\/mjb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Ivan-HOME-photo-Ivan-Ng-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-18693\" srcset=\"https:\/\/customwordpresssites.com\/mjb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Ivan-HOME-photo-Ivan-Ng-1.jpg 800w, https:\/\/customwordpresssites.com\/mjb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Ivan-HOME-photo-Ivan-Ng-1-150x112.jpg 150w, https:\/\/customwordpresssites.com\/mjb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Ivan-HOME-photo-Ivan-Ng-1-300x223.jpg 300w, https:\/\/customwordpresssites.com\/mjb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Ivan-HOME-photo-Ivan-Ng-1-768x571.jpg 768w, https:\/\/customwordpresssites.com\/mjb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Ivan-HOME-photo-Ivan-Ng-1-200x150.jpg 200w, https:\/\/customwordpresssites.com\/mjb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Ivan-HOME-photo-Ivan-Ng-1-380x283.jpg 380w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Ivan Ng at HOME in Singapore<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>MESSY JESUS BUSINESS<\/strong>&nbsp;is produced and hosted by Sister Julia Walsh. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Email us at&nbsp;<a href=\"mailto:messyjesusbusiness@gmail.com\">messyjesusbusiness@gmail.com<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>BE SOCIAL:<\/strong><br><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/MessyJesusBusiness\"><br>https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/MessyJesusBusiness<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Facebook: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/MessyJesusBusiness\">https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/MessyJesusBusiness<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Twitter: @messyjesusbiz<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Instagram: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/messyjesusbusiness\">https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/messyjesusbusiness<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>S<strong>UPPORT US:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.patreon.com\/messyjesusbusiness\">https:\/\/www.patreon.com\/messyjesusbusiness<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>LISTEN HERE:<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Episode 51 of Messy Jesus Business podcast, with Sister Julia Walsh.
