Chrysalis matters
To all in CYM, Friends of CYM, Parents, Our partners,
Grace and peace be with you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ,
2008 is marked with new zeal for the Lord. As we see the ministry grow in numbers and strength, we can only give all glory and praise to our Lord who has blessed us so richly. We thank God for how He continues to work in our lives, and to bring many to know of His great Love. We are greatly touched by the lives that have changed and we look forward to how God will weave his plans through all of us continually.
In a nutshell, our four main areas of focus for CYM this year are, Discipleship, Outreach, Prayer and Structural.
Discipleship: We are serious about our youths walking right with, and cultivating a close relationship with the King of kings and Lord of Lords. We hope that our youths will grow in stature, maturity and Christ-likeness as they make tough decisions and assume responsibilities with the fear of the Lord.
Outreach: In line with the Chapel's vision, we believe that Outreach is an important element in the life of growing youths. From intentional outreach to follow-up and study groups, we pray that our Lord will equip us to accomplish His Great Commission.
Prayer: We thank God for our Overnight Prayer Meeting, where our youths were able to gather together for a wonderful time of prayer. We pray that everyone in CYM will have the joy of entering into God's presence through prayer, resulting in a prayerful climate.
Structural: We are looking forward to greater ownership from everyone in CYM, a ministry for Youths by Youths. We have seen a great display of youthful talents, initiative and love, especially during the recent Christmas Outreach and CYM Outing at EastCoast, which so evidently captured the vibrancy in CYM. We are confident that our youthful talents will be developed and nurtured, resulting in character formation. We also look forward to parents partnering with CYM to a greater extent so as to synergize our efforts.
To all parents, our dear partners in ministry, We thank God for, and are most grateful for your taking precious time off to dialogue with us during our Meet-the-Parents session earlier this month. We hope you were able to gain a better understanding of the purpose of, and programmes we have in store at CYM, as well as get to know some of the youth leaders and advisors. In our upcoming monthly business meeting, we will certainly be addressing some of the concerns and suggestions mentioned during our session together.
Finally let us press on toward the goal amidst the challenges that may come our way in 2008, knowing that our Lord is with us, strengthening us despite our weaknesses.
" Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for he who promised is faithful" Hebrews 10:23
