SOME REFLECTIONS IN SERVING IN TEENACITY YOUTH MINISTRY

by Asst Ps Patrick Chan Yin

 

Serving alongside Generation Y (Millennials – 1980-1994), Generation Z (1995-2009), and Generation Alpha (2010-2024) [1] for the past 15 years have given me a profound experience and valuable insights into how the younger generations approach faith, community, and discipleship. I thought of sharing some reflections about what I have learnt over the years; and my prayer is that we can humbly learn from each other’s experience in ministry and persevere on in serving Him faithfully. To Him be the glory!.........

PRAYER FOR MISSION TRIPS IN SEPTEMBER

Dear Heavenly Father,

We come before You with hearts full of gratitude for the opportunity to serve You through mission trips. We acknowledge that it is only by Your grace and provision that we are able to go out and share Your love with others. We dedicate our September mission trips into Your hand.

 

We pray for Your blessings and protection for brother Gift Daniel's EquipAsia graduation trips to Laos (9-11 September) and Bhutan (20-21 September).

 

Lord, we also ask for Your protection and guidance throughout the Nepal Retooling Workshop from 16-19 September. Please keep brothers Paul Lim, Kok Yam, Gift Daniel, Yeong Fai and sister Wendy Han safe from harm and lead them in the path You have prepared. May they be sensitive to the leading of Your Holy Spirit in every decision they make and in every encounter they have. Grant them hearts of humility and compassion, that they may serve with the love of Christ, sharing Your message of hope and salvation with clarity and boldness.

 

Father, we pray for the Church Planters they will encounter. Open their hearts to receive Your Word, and may Your Spirit work mightily in their lives. May the retooling sessions reflect Your love and grace, drawing them closer to You.

 

We also pray for unity among all who are involved in the Nepal work. Bind them together with love and understanding, so that they may work effectively as one body in Christ. Help them to support and encourage one another, knowing that they are stronger when together in Christ.

 

Lord, we entrust the upcoming mission trips to You. May everything we do bring glory to Your name and advance Your Kingdom.

In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.

EQUIPASIA (EA) GRADUATIONS

The master trainers from Laos, Bhutan, Mongolia, India, Indonesia, and Cambodia, who graduated from the EA training program in Singapore from 2017-2023, have been training Christian leaders in their countries. These leaders were taught the 10 basic modules to equip them for ministry. EA graduations will be held in the various countries as listed below. Representatives from our church will be at the graduation services to share God’s Word, pray, and commission them.

Please pray for:

1. The EA graduations for the various dates stated in the table above. Pray that the students will be encouraged by the messages delivered by our church representatives.

2. The students to be more effective in their respective ministries by applying what they have learned from the EA materials.

3. The master trainers to be united as they plan their next training program and to be able to recruit students to participate in the program.

4. The safety of our church team during their long distance land travel. There are also many restrictions in some locations.

 

Asian Mission Fellowship (AMF)

This is a bi-monthly Zoom prayer meeting for EquipAsia master trainers and other workers serving overseas. The objective of the meeting is to encourage our partners through God’s Word and pray with them. The next meetings for this year will be on 9 September and 11 November.

PRE-MISSION TRIP TRAINING
To derive maximum benefit from mission trips, we have certain guidelines for mission trippers. One of them is to attend the pre-mission trip orientation cum training session. The training provides an overall understanding of missions and attempts to address questions such as: Why go on a short-term mission trip?; What are the Do's and Dont's of a mission trip?; What can you expect from a mission trip?; How to avoid turning a mission trip into a holiday?; etc.

 

All our mission trippers are expected to go through this training. Please participate in the training even if you are not sure of your participation in a trip, but are considering a trip in the next 2 years.
