Closing for DA Youth 2009

Last day of DA Youth. Thanksgiving and remembering what we have done in Desa Aman. What i will thank GOD for:

1. Everyone who came week after week.
2. The youth who read their Our Daily Journey (ODJ)
3. Newcomers - some stayed, some left
4. Newcomers who stayed until the end of the year - hope more will come
5. The opportunity for the leaders who took turn serving
6. For everyone who participated in the activities whether got argument or not

What i pray for:

1. That the every youth will return next year - Sam and John especially
2. That what has been thought will remain in their conscious and subconscious mind
3. That new youths will come next year. (Add to our numbers people)
4. That the older ones - Anthony, Joey and Sam will be able to serve in the committee
5. That the youths do not find it bored and dutiful to come every Sunday
6. That the group dynamics will continue to grow

Final Destination

Final Destination. A phrase which is known world wide, everybody dies in one way or another - freakishly. How if we put it in a different way. People die, yes all people will die because of sin. Similar with the movie. But what is YOUR final destination when you die. HEAVEN / HELL. I know it's a taboo word for many conservatives - I can imagine many saying "Choi Choi", "Touchwood Touchwood" - where it should not be spoken of. (To be honest, I don't really know what "touchwood" means. If someone can really explain to me, why touch a wood? Why not metal or plastic?)

Belivers in The God of Heaven believe that when we die, we go into heaven to be with GOD, ETERNALLY / FOREVER / NEVER ENDING / AGELESS / UNCEASING. (John 3:16 - For God so loved the world He gave His only begotten so, and whosoever BELIVES in Him shall have ETERNAL life) So, where is YOUR final destination. Its a choice between HEAVEN / HELL.
