Hwinnie Loy
Ministry Intern
God has given me a heart for people worldwide who have not yet properly heard the gospel. I hope to serve overseas in ministry to unreached people groups in the future. The internship will equip me to serve in almost any evangelical church-planting team.
I’m praying the Lord will enable me to be a faithful Bible teacher to preach His message to myself and others. The apprenticeship gives the opportunity to be trained in word-based discipleship, including one-to-one studies, small group studies, and ministry to different age groups and cultures.
My family moved from Singapore to Perth when I was eight years old. I have two fluffy ragdoll cats. When I’m free, I enjoy jogging, hiking, motorbiking, Pilates, or catching up over coffee.

Matt Libardi
Ministry Intern
Matt is interning at NCC throughout 2020/21, trying his hand at all areas of ministry to discern his ability to serve the Lord in ministry. Stepping away from a growing small business in carpentry, he’s excited to further grow in devotion, understanding and joy in Jesus, and to be better equipped to share that with all who cross his path.
Aside from a heart gripped and enamoured by God and His word, Matt is the rambunctious husband to the beautiful and humble Misha, and father to 3 amazing blessings, Gabe, Aria and Levi.
Outside of ministry, Matt loves getting away from the big smoke, practising his trade and pretty much running a general muck with his family.
