Rev. Dr. Vincent Poon

Voluntary Pastor - counselling pastor with interests in pastoral care and family ministry


I am married to Ruby and we have no children but plenty of nieces and nephews and some spiritual children over the years.

 

Significant Influences

When I was a student, I was influenced by the late Dr. John White and the late Dean Cliff Edwards (law school) in Winnipeg. They were part of the ministerial team in our church. I also liked to read books by John Stott, A. W. Tozer, and Martyn Lloyd-Jones.

 

Guiding Principle

I was challenged that if Jesus Christ is not Lord of all, He is not lord at all.
