Youth Minister

Just realized that I have not kept my promise till now to share with you what my next chapter in life is all about. I am currently one of the three Youth Ministers for the Diocese of Malacca-Johor, West Malaysia. It's been 11 days now, and yes! I have been enjoying every bit of it though I had been doing a lot of traveling the past 10days. I enjoy traveling, so no complain!

When asked about my plans and hopes for the youths of the Diocese for an article in the local catholic weekly (Herald), this is what I said; "I am very grateful to Bishop Paul Tan and the Diocese for giving me an opportunity to serve the church as a Youth Minister. As for my plans and hopes for the youths, I just have to take cue from the Shepherd of the Diocese. During the Diocesan Synod last year, Bishop Paul Tan has call on everyone especially the leaders to concentrate on two areas i.e. more and effective formation of our people and quick and focused spotting out of people who are willing and can serve the church in building the Kingdom of God.

I feel so blessed and excited to serve in this ministry. I need all the prayers I can get to be able to serve God and His people especially His youths better. Do pray for me guys.

Note : The pictures above are some of the many youths from the Diocese of Malacca-Johor that I have had the pleasure to meet.
