The journey of 25 weeks for some 20 youths (17 - 21yrs) at Holy Family Church (Singapore) begins this evening. The Youth Formation Programme is a holistic programme training youth in three distinct areas: 1) Discipleship (scripture, prayer life), 2) Leadership and Community life. I am so looking forward to guiding them in the area of Scripture. It's been a adventurous journey so far in the last few months reading and researching. The greatest part is to know that I am journeying with God - it is He who provides ALL the financial needs and educational materials.
Since the church is using Year B in the Liturgy, the Gospel of Mark will walk us through the first half of the sessions. The second will be focused on Acts - the spreading of the Kingdom. It will be apt too since the youth will be gearing themselves to serve in all sorts of ways in church and since the Church celebrates the Jubilee year of St Paul (2000 years after his birth)!
This evening begins with week zero... and I am using the opportunity to first introduce to them The Story - Salvation History. It was the first bible class I took last July in a long time and it's been one fantastic journey since! NO looking back.
St Mark, St Paul pray for us!
