THE NECF Malaysia Youth Commission has been re-named NECF Malaysia YouthNet to better reflect the role and objectives of the group.
At a September meeting of youth leaders representing various churches and Christian organisations, the attendees also agreed on the group’s purpose statement of “Serving Youth Ministries, Blessing the Nation” by targeting three levels: churches, youth pastors and leaders, and the nation.
In practice, YouthNet will provide a forum for interactions and prayers among youth ministries to foster mutual understanding and partnership, and provide consultation and research resources on youth issues to churches. It will also represent Christian youth ministries in engagements with the Government on youth issues such as education and National Service.
Although YouthNet’s focus is youth ministries, programmes reaching youths may be held when opportunities arise. For instance, the group is looking into organising a youth rally featuring the famed street evangelist and author, Rev David Wilkerson, and his son in 2006. |
