Youth Workers Consultation

Description: ComingUp

Today’s youths grow up in a new culture – that of globalisation, information and communication technology (ICT) and postmodernism. MTV and the Internet are just two media which have radically moulded their thoughts, value system and lifestyle.

In view of these developments, it may be difficult to reach them effectively using the methods of yesteryear.

The NECF YouthNet is organising a Youth Workers Consultation to discuss and devise strategies to strengthen youth ministries. With better knowledge and new strategies, we will be able to help our young people navigate the unavoidable challenges of adolescence and modernisation.

The consultation will be in two parts – plenary sessions taken by speakers and roundtable discussions where participants exchange information on problems facing youths and youth ministries.

The speakers are:

  • Rev. Kenneth Chin (Senior Pastor of ACTS Church and founder of Asian Youth Ambassadors);
  • Dr Herbert Tan from Malaysia Campus Crusade for Christ;
  • Rev. Koh Gim Lam from Scripture Union;
  • Dr Leong Tien Fock (Malaysia Campus Crusade for Christ Research Coordinator); and
  • Rev. Wong Kim Kong (NECF Malaysia Secretary-General).

The roundtable discussion will discuss issues such as raising youth ministers, new ways to reach non-Christian youths, how Christian Fellowships in schools and universities can be effective witness in their places, and how the NECF YouthNet can better serve the Malaysian Church.

The discussions will be facilitated by:

  • Pr Margaret Loy (DUMC Youth Pastor);
  • Ms Annette Arurajah (Fellowship of Evangelical Students General Secretary);
  • Rev. Christopher Rao (Trinity Methodist Conference National Youth Director);
  • Mr John Yip (Malaysia Sports Coalition Leadership Training Facilitator);
  • Mr Joshua Liong (Focus on the Family Curriculum Coordinator of No Apologies Programme); and
  • Mr Jason Fong (Scripture Union General Secretary).

The three-day consultation will be held at Genting Highland’s Awana Country Resort beginning Sept 26.
Cost is RM330 per person (inclusive of food and accommodation).

This consultation is a timely and crucial meeting to address the challenges and needs of our youths. All those involved in youth ministries are strongly urged to attend. Call NECF office 03-7727 8227 for more information.
