BIBLICAL INSPIRATION:

I would like to share with you a biblical text and inspirational thoughts that has inspired me to continue my journey with the young people with strong faith, hope, and love. It comes from 1 Corinthians 3:9 " For we are partners working together for God, and you are God’s field."

As I reflect on that biblical text, I find it as a big challenge to do the tasks that has been entrusted to me in the youth ministry. I believe that working together with fellow youth ministers is a big help to sustain my passion for the youth ministry with strong faith to overcome difficulties and weaknesses along the way. Although serving the young takes a lot of sacrifices, I still have that confidence to pursue my goal as youth minister in bringing the youth and youth leaders to Christ. The youth of today are hunger for God’s word. I need to let them feel that they are special and important part of the church. My challenge is to be open to new approaches and strategies to become effective channel for the youth to get actively involved in the basic ecclesial communities (GKKs)as well as in their own parish settings.

I am very much inspired to do whatever my tasks in the youth ministry knowing the fact that God is in the midst of us as our partner in the mission of bringing together all young people to be disciples of Christ in the modern times.
