Dear friends,
Greetings in the blessed name of Jesus!
Welcome to EMERGE RISING 2009! WOW! What a weekend we are having! First and foremost, I would like to take this opportunity to welcome my pastor, Rev. Dr. Kong Hee and all of you to our annual youth conference. All of us are in for a treat as Ps. Kong will be speaking at all the 5 sessions in this year’s EMERGE!
This year’s Emerge is by far the largest. We have had over 100 competitions and 300 medals up for grabs. On top of that, there are also other attractive prizes to be won. This is a very exciting season because we are able to unearth some of the hidden potentials and talents of our young people. I want to see today’s youth engage life and all that God has given to them. I want to see them engage in healthy activities and through this live a more dynamic and fulfilled life. Apathy is a subtle killer. It drains us of our strength and our zeal for life. It saps us of our energy. Therefore, it is my dream that through Emerge, young people will once again celebrate the life and the creativity that is in them! Don’t be boxed up. Don’t think you can’t do it. Don’t be intimidated by fear. Learn to take steps of faith, one at a time. I believe when we begin to do that, we will see significant changes, one that will launch us into greater things in life.
Apart from all these activities, Emerge is also a time for us to encounter Jesus. It is a time for us to be in touch with our spirituality and seek the meaning of life. Our world is getting noisier. The demand on us is getting heavier. We need to learn to take pauses and ask ourselves, ‘Why am I here?’ and ‘God, what is it that you want me to do with this life that you have given to me?’ I believe, when we are able to have such retreats every now and then, we will discover the purpose and the joy of living a life for Christ! Let’s grow in balance; both physically and spiritually. Let’s Emerge and make a difference in our generation.
Yours for revival,
KEV
