Like it or not, we are all prospective leaders. Leaders of society and leaders of influence. With or without positions, we all lead and influence people. We, are youth leaders.
So is the reason of Methodist's TRAC YLDP - Youth Leader's Development Programme. To develop and train leaders of today, and tomorrow. Here contains a simple report of what went on.
-------
This year, 5 of us went: Me, Kent, George, Edmund and Anna. With Kent and me going for level 3 (the final level) and the others going for level 1. Also, we were given the opportunity to lead worship in one of the plenary sessions in conjunction with Klang Wesley. It was a great experience. We learnt a lot.
Touchdown. This year's YLDP theme. Have we done ours? And where are our touchdowns? Will God be proud of us at the final day?
This was a lingering question left to us at I.J. Barre, Tanah Rata in the space of 5 days. The final of a series of YLDP this time around, it was one of hard lingering questions and reassurances.
Here's a example: Kent's testimony. (proof read and grammatically corrected, tat is... XD)
"
Last year's YLDP was very discouraging for me. As such, I did not want to go to the YLDP camp this year. However, God told me to go for this year's YLDP, so I went. Well, I am truly blessed by this camp. I have seen God moving and people just worshiping the Lord with their whole heart. Among the things we learn, we learn that the Bible not only a rule book but also a play book to win the race of life. Also, we have to test our faith and taste that how good is the Lord. I also experienced that a lot of people need healing with relationship and some of us need to let go the unforgiveness and pain. During ministry time, some of us were praying for each other and encouraging others. I was truly blessed."
This is how good God is. Reassurances of His love and the painful reminders that we need to obey his word, in order to achieve the touchdowns. I personally was ministered to by the Lord, in the games, in the level workshops and definitely during the plenary sessions. Personally, this is by far the best camp I've been in so far. Truly all glory to God.
One song that lingers in our hearts in the closing hours of the camp:
"
What can wash away my sin?
Nothing but the blood of Jesus;
What can make me whole again?
Nothing but the blood of Jesus.
Refrain
Oh! precious is the flow
That makes me white as snow;
No other fount I know,
Nothing but the blood of Jesus."
