Envision Your Destiny Seminar for Young Christian Women

The NECF Malaysia Women's Commission organised the seminar to particularly inspire young Christian women in our country to seek God's calling and rise up to fulfil their God-given destiny. Over 100 participants attended seminar at the New Life Restoration Centre, Petaling Jaya, in March.

A panel of five invited speakers comprising YB Hannah Yeoh, Tricia Yeoh, Malar Moses, Rosaline Yong and Juwita Suwito each shared their personal life stories of how God touched, prepared, equipped and empowered them to do His Will in their lives. Evidently, their lives were changed as a result of loving, following and obeying the Lord.

YB Hannah Yeoh, a Selangor state assemblywoman, challenged the young women to know and obey God's word. She advised them to always align what they do with His Word.

Tricia Yeoh, research officer at the Selangor Chief Minister's Office and member of the Centre for Public Policy Studies Advisory Panel emphasised the courage to change and to stand for truth. Both speakers encouraged the participants to remain faithful at their place of calling and to be willing to be used by God as change agents for the nation.

Malar Moses, a corporate image consultant, testified how she overcame the limitations in both her career and personal life by simply enjoying an intimate relationship with God. She encouraged the young women to trust God completely despite adverse circumstances and to surrender their lives to serve Him first.

Award-winning singer cum songwriter Juwita Suwito shared about the reality of God as her "father" after she lost her earthly father. Combining her God-given talent and passion for music with her desire to serve people, God has led the former Malaysian Idol mentor to a successful career in the music industry while helming the position of YWCA Malaysia Secretary-General.

Rosaline Yong, who is currently pursuing her PhD in Public Health and preparing to be a missionary in Japan, gave a moving account of how the Lord transformed her and prepared her for outreach mission work in Japan. She shared about her struggles, fears and submission in obeying God's call on her life. She also challenged the participants to obey and heed God's Great Commission to save lost souls.

Following the speakers' sharing, there was a question-and-answer forum moderated by Commission chairperson Grace Hee. It was engaging and instructive as the speakers answered various questions on recognising, ascertaining and obeying God's voice and calling.

The seminar ended with prayers and an altar call.

Throughout the seminar, the young women were challenged to arise and serve the nation and His Kingdom. With God's enabling, ordinary women can do extraordinary exploits.
