Pastors & Staff
Pastors: Edward & Selina Lim
Edward was raised by godly parents and grew up in a Brethren church, where he had a strong foundation of the Word. He received his calling into full time ministry when he was 17 years of age and God prepared him for some years through tent-making and equipped him in Global Literature Outreach (GLO), Tasmania, Australia and received his Bachelor of Theology in Malaysia Baptist Theological Seminary. He served in 3 different churches as Youth and Worship Pastor in the span of 15 years before God revealed His heart and vision of Gateway City Church.
This visionary leader coupled with a radical faith constantly challenges people to rise up to their optimum potential to make God famous. This dynamic and active man has a deep passion for sports. He also pioneered Floorball in 2002 in Penang and grew this sport to the national level. He coaches both the state and national team, and is also a representative in the Asia Pacific Floorball Association Development Committee.
Edward ministers together with his wife, Selina, who was a State Registered Nurse before she received her full-time calling into ministry. She met the Lord as a young nurse and He has opened her eyes to His deep love and fulfillment in Christ Jesus as she served the sick. She is also trained in Early Childhood Education for her call as a mother and primary teacher to her offspring besides having pursued some courses in the same seminary as Edward. Her passion includes teaching, intercession, dance and turning hearts towards homes. They homeschool their 3 daughters – Ashlynn, Nathalynn, Chrisalynn and a son, Ashton. As a family, they seek to raise a radical generation to serve God’s purposes in this nation and beyond.
