KYC 2004 - Looking for relationships? hmmmm hmmm hmm ..

Looking for relationships? That is not really a question. It is the theme of Katoomba Youth Convention (KYC) 2004. KYC is a christian youth convention in sydney attended by around 1000 young christians. It is held every year at Katoomba blue mountain and it happened that there were about 36 people went there from IPCYF (the record number ever).

Well, I really enjoyed the trip. Learnt a number of things from the sermon, here they are:
1. We should live for the future ... In the future, Jesus will come again as judge .. At that time, those who believe in Jesus will be saved and those who does not will be judge because they do not believe in the only Son of God. I will meet Jesus face to face, the person who gave His life for my sake, betrayed by person he trusted the most, suffered so much under Pontius Pilate, separated from His Father in heaven, died on the cross, shed his blood and body up there, died among criminals just for my sake ... so that I have a relationship again with the Father in heaven, and I may know Him, the true God and being forgiven. My future looks really beautiful .. There will be no more tears .. God will wipe out tears from my eyes ... so beatiful isn't it?
2. Be involve with as many non-christians as you can and be the reflection of God's light to them.
Basically be salt and light to the world. Salt: get involve with many non-christians at all levels (political and social) and be a reflection of Christ, be different to them in all of that. It is very very hard, not an easy thing to do ... I guess there is a big difference between accepting sinners and approving what sinners do .. We are all sinners and Jesus himself accepts sinners as they are, but He did not approve what they do ..

Those two were the main points that I got from KYC .. does not seem to be related to relationships among men and women at all huh ... =)

I also had so much fun during KYC ... sang lots of songs with friends, play cards, play pictionary and did some sharings with a couple of close friends ... I got to know them better I guess .. I get to share some of my burdens as well, which is good . heheheh .... Fun is a good thing, and we need fun ... but the more important thing is to let me be challenged by the Word of God and really put it into practice.

Thanks to all of you who have worked so hard in preparing stuffs, driving, cooking, book accomodation, shopping, sending email .. You guys/gals are the best ...
