AYN Youth Night with Ben Lo from Empowered Kuching
AYN had an awesome time with Benedict Lo (Head Servant of Empowered Ministry Kuching). God willingly sent him our way for our Youth Night (Thurs 30 June) to break the word for us. Ben shared that God created us to be loved but the message of the world is that we must pursue love in people or things. Love is made perverse; lust is made relevant. People get used and hearts are broken as we get so caught up in our pursue to be loved and put false worth on people and things that will eventually fade away. “We are going against the current”, as Ben put it. He said that as young people we are free to serve God because we have so much of freedom and energy and that if YOU as a young person would stand up for God and choose to remain pure you are a powerful and living testimony for Jesus. It made me realize that who I am is in Jesus. I am a child of God and my worth is in Him. I am priceless because Jesus died for me with a love I cannot repay. I am worth true love. We need to be rooted in God’s love and once you’ve found a perfect love such as His you don’t need anybody to complete you. When the time is right, the right person will come along and you don't have to go looking for him or her. Ben continued to share about the parable of the 5 loaves and 2 fishes. It struck me because Jesus used the little that was available to feed the multitude and they had 12 baskets left over from the LITTLE that Jesus blessed and broke to be shared. Ben asked if we were willing to offer and give God whatever little that we had; to be both blessed and broken. It meant a total and complete submission to God and His will for you for His glory. It doesn’t matter if you’re not good enough or feel like you’re not as talented or gifted; all He wants for you is to say yes and He’ll take care of the rest. Ben said, “Don’t hold back.” To me it also meant not looking back once You’ve given Him your life and chosen to believe in Him. Well, I choose Jesus because I know He is faithful. He can turn ashes into beauty.
Lastly to quote Ben, "When you are in line with God's will, He will bless you tremendously." - Sandra Christine
La Salle CSS Rally - A New Beginning -
It was an exciting morning for AYN and 40 over students of Catholic Student Societies from S.M. Assunta, La Salle, PJ and CHS. The Rally themed the New Beginning was reflective of the 3 hours spent with the high school student. Student were led into time of praise and worship, fun ice-breakers, group dynamics and a time of teaching. We saw each personality shine through each individual and that all of them were special, created in the image and likeness of God. In order to be the new breed for the New Beginning, each of them were challenged to put on the armour of God (Eph 6:12) and to unite for Christ and His call for us to be the X-men of our generation and world. AYN had lots of fun with you and God that weekend! We pray that this group will be the one to stand up for Jesus and lead other high school students to His saving love! - Rachael D'Rozario
