Young Ministers in the Making
Posted by Admin | Filed under Announcements & Updates, Pictures & Videos
Following the success of TAC MYF’s BREAK-FREE 2010 Youth Convention, held at Glory Beach Resort in March, a ministerial camp was organized by TAC MYF in collaboration with TAC Board of Ministry & TAC Malaysian Missionary Movement. The two-day program was held at Archdiocesan Pastoral Centre, K. L. on the 3rd and 4th of July and included forums, practical windows and four keynote speakers from the clergy. Over 22 youths registered themselves.
The first speaker, Rev. Dennis Raj took got the ball rolling for the first two sessions by talking about commitment towards ministry and having a heart for ministry. He was followed by Rev. James Ravindran & Mr. Rajah who both represented MMM and spoke on missions based ministry. After a good rest and dinner, the participants were gathered for a session on the Nature & Scope of the pastoral ministry, by Rev. Devadass Ratnam.
Participants where then assigned to 6 different small groups and given various scenarios & dilemma common to pastoral and mission based ministry. They were asked to discuss and justify their reaction in such scenarios. The teams were then critiqued by senior minister present during their presentation. The purpose of this exercise was to help the participants understand the dynamics of ministry work and the qualities needed by a minister to handle such situations.
The second day saw Rev. Vincent Jayaraj preaching during the communion worship service on the topic on Discerning & Affirming God’s Call. After a short break, Rev. Jonathan took the stage to brief participants on procedures to register themselves for ministerial training and how best to chart their future. At the conclusion of the 2-day program, six participants committed themselves for fulltime ministry beginning 2011 and another 5 stated their interest to start immediately after their SPM examinations.
The organizers we pleasantly touched by God’s outpouring of anointing the unwavering commitment displayed by the participants towards His call. This will continue to encourage the TAC MYF Board to continue its many initiatives aimed at training and developing youth disciplines to do God’s work.

Updates from RED ALERT Sept 2009
Posted by Admin | Filed under Announcements & Updates, Pictures & Videos
RED ALERT Sept 09 was indeed an inspiring time of worship. TMC Shah Alam MYF first led with some energetic praise songs accompanied by tambourine dancers and then the worshipers were taken for a time of deep and intimate worship. Pastor Noble Rajkumar then took the stage to preach. He first spoke about our contact with our spiritual self by drawing examples and lessons from his own life. He then went on to talk about our spiritual connection with our Lord and Saviour and the need to build this personal relationship. The sermon was finished with an altar call for those moved by the Spirit. Pas. Noble who was also gifted in the area of healing and deliverance ministry invited those who needed more personal prayers to stay back as he ministered unto them.
The coffee fellowship was a good time of interaction mingling between youth form churches such as Rawang, Banting, Serdang, Shah Alam, Subang and KL.
