Dear Bro. Jong, I write to report to you the amazing results of the Youth Congress. It was indeed a wonderful and a landmark experience for our church family. I thank God whom we served who never fail to leads us to the path we have to trek. I attached herewith a copy of the resolutions which the young leaders worked on for long hours in three days; and a ppt of Youth Regional Core leadership and their areas of responsibilities. We will be calling the youth group in our region ALL 4 HIM (to represent the all out commitment of four young Hebrew kid, Daniel, Shadrach, Meschach and Abedneggo). We are still in the Youth camp and it is just humbling to see those young kids which we use to carry in our arms expressing their love and faith for the LORD. There are about 70 campers including youth ministry head leaders from UAE, Germany, Netherlands, Spain, Ireland, Switzerland and the UK. Thank you for your prayers and support. Bro. Rene |

RESOLUTION
pluralistic (secular, multi culture and multi faith) society will be developed by a team of pastors and some of the youth leaders to be headed by Pastor Stefan Tiran within a year’s time (July 2009)
As Christians who live in the world but not of the world, we are fully aware of the dangers that can be a result of abusing alcohol intake. Therefore, we are not ashamed to take a stand against usage of alcohol drinks that can lead to violence, sexual activities and addiction. We believe and value that our body is the temple of God to glorify Him.
1.) We as true Christians believe that dating should be defined as a process of courtship therefore it should be conducted honorably with parental and spiritual guidance and with the intention of marriage. We resolve to avoid intimacy and any form of commitments that could endanger our Christian values and purity.
2.) We believe that technology is a product of God-given wisdom and ingenuity to humankind with a potential to elevate and improve the quality of life. However we also believe that technology can be mis- used and abused which can lead to the detriment of an individual, family and community. Therefore, we resolve to be vigilant, discerning and prudent, finding other hobbies, prioritizing and managing our time wisely, referring to the principles set by the Bible and seeking the help of our parents for the choice of content and use of technology.
3.) We believe that God created us with the intellectual ability to learn and that education is a fundamental part of developing, enhancing and fulfilling of the life He has given us. Therefore, with the help, support and motivation of our family and the church, we resolve to excel in learning in all areas of our life for the development of our God-given potential to equip us to be better individuals serving the local and global community. Furthermore, with the help of parents and the church, we resolve to explore and identify potential resources for the education of well- deserving young people
4.) We believe that family is the basic social unit instituted by God where values and Christian faith are formed, emotional and social skills are developed and relationships are nurtured. But, we understand that there are youths who have personal and family concerns that we can address. Therefore, we resolve that we will welcome youth to the church family as equals and foster an atmosphere of openness and trust between the youth, youth leaders, parents and church leaders. To achieve this, we will organize activities to promote bonding such as parent and youth activities and with the help of the church to guide both parents and the youth. |
