People, Peter Troung has blogged about our youths of Hope Kuching in Advance Newsletter. I have copied it and pasted it here. Have a blessed reading yea.
In 2008, Hope Kuching was proud to officially launch the Student Ministry. This ministry consists of the secondary, college, International Fellowship (IF), medical and nursing and Indonesian students, filled with the desire to raise a generation of youths firmly grounded in the Word of God, eager and passionate to fulfil the Great Commission. With Jesus as the banner of this ministry, we believe that these young people will greatly impact their families and friends wherever they go!
Student Ministry Video Of course, every great thing has its humble beginnings. For the Hope Kuching’s Student Ministry, it all began with a combined student service on a Saturday afternoon, March 2008. The theme was “Zero to Hero” and it blasted off with the vibrancy of the youths worshipping God and Jesus as our Hero and it was indeed, by God’s grace, a success! From then on, similar student services were held on a monthly basis and God’s presence, church fellowship and fun always filled the Main Sanctuary. In this way, the Student Ministry continued to reach out to youths all over Kuching.
A Chosen Generation History was made on 30th August 2008 as Hope Kuching’s Student Ministry officially launched the very first Student Service in the whole of Malaysia! Themed “Chosen”, Ps. Denis Lu, Hope Kuching’s Senior Pastor, gave a message of exhortation based on 1 Peter 2:9. Even as youths, we have been set apart by God as his chosen generation to proclaim His good news! It was truly wonderful to see over a hundred youths from various backgrounds united as one body of Christ and being vibrant for Jesus!
Empowering Youth Being Holy Spirit-led, the Student Ministry has taken a step further by having Student Services weekly on Saturdays, 4 p.m.
This ministry aspires to grow youths to be matured spiritually, knowledgeable in and doing the Word of God, possessing leadership qualities and having a passionate heart for God’s lost sheep. This empowers youths to be His workers in their diverse harvest fields, especially once Hope Kuching moves into their new church building in mid 2009.
Youth fulfilling God's calling As Paul the Apostle mentioned in 1 Timothy 4:12, people are never too young to respond to God’s calling to build His kingdom here on earth! As Peter exhorts in 1 Peter 2:9, God’s calling extends to all youths as well.
By God’s grace, the Hope Kuching Student Ministry will continue to expand and nurture youths who will indeed make a difference for God in Kuching and everywhere they go!(1 Peter 2:9) But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people belonging to God, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light.
Wow! What a great kick off to usher in 2009. Yes, i am pointing on "Youth Sports Carnival 2009". The torturing, amazing and laughing scene is still rolling in my mind clearly.
Personally as the organizing chairman and emcee of the event, i was so inspired and encouraged by all of the 60++ youths' spirits and coordination. Thanks guy, you guys are just just vibrant! Constantly energetic throughout the games, despite of its difficulties and toughness. You persevered through.
Indeed, what a great kick off to inject the theme
"Let's not give up!" into these participants!
