Lawrence Khong (full name: ''Lawrence Khong Kin Hoong''; born in 1952) is the Senior Pastor of ''Faith Community Baptist Church (FCBC)'' in Singapore. Founded by Pastor Khong in 1986, FCBC is one of the mega churches in Singapore and has a congregation of about 9,000.〔("About FCBC" ), Retrieved 5 October 2009〕〔http://www.fcbc.org.sg/index.asp〕 Khong has been criticized for his homophobic comments regarding his position on gay rights. ==Early life==
Khong is the son of a successful businessman and a housewife. His father, a general commodities wholesaler who came from Guangdong province in China, had another family in Hong Kong with four children, but remarried when he came to Singapore before World War II broke out.〔("The Pastor Who Does Magic: 'PREACHER'S MAGICAL TOUCH'" ), The Straits Times, 7 July 2008〕 As a young boy, Khong was rebellious and did poorly in primary school. However, his grades dramatically improved when he entered secondary school at St Joseph's Institution. Following this, he went on to National Junior College, where he met his future wife, Nina. In the army, his rebellious streak resurfaced; he took to chain smoking, sometimes up to three packs a day. He also stopped going to church. Upon entering his first year as a business administration undergraduate in the University of Singapore, he had a spiritual awakening during the summer vacation.〔 Subsequently, he followed his future wife, Nina, to a church camp in Port Dickson, Malaysia, where a boy drowned on the second day. That startled him and he "felt a calling" to become a pastor.〔
