Participants ‘discover’ self at Youth Alive camp

While Malaysia was celebrating the month of Ramadan, 131 young delegates including 37 youth and adult facilitators and camp leaders converged at the College General in the panoramic island of Penang, Malaysia. They came to attend the Youth Alive Camp, mainly dedicated to help the youth live a positive lifestyle—Jesus’ lifestyle, September 18-21.

Third in three years row, this event organized by the Adventist Church in Peninsular Malaysia (PEM), had chosen “WHO AM I?” as its theme. Its main speaker was Pastor Erickson Fabien of the Adventist Community Church (SDACC) in Singapore. He shared God’s unfailing love to the young people alongside informative health messages from Ms Jane Yap, PEM health director; Dr Dicky Ng; Dr Edward Nathan; and Dr Yen Ang, all of Penang Adventist Hospital Church’s Wellness Clinic.

The young people’s joys were full as they participated in family groups led by Marvin Marcelino, guidance counsellor at Bangkok Adventist International School. “Finally, I know who I am…I am yours Lord!” posted Cindy Lim, a 15-year-old participant from Penang, on her Facebook. She described the overwhelming benefits derived from attending the youth camp. [AND]
