PASTORAL PAGE 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!......... [1] According to McCrindle Research at https://mccrindle.com.au/article/topic/generation-alpha/generation-alpha-defined/ Read More > |

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. |

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.
