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 3^rd and 4^th 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.
