sammylyr: Youth Convention 2012

Sarawak Methodist Youth Convention 2012 (SMYC/YC) was held on the 3rd of December at Wesley Methodist Church Sibu. It was an awesome awesome experience! The theme was iHOG (i Hold Onto God). hee-haw, howdy!

The event itself was truly powerful. Right on the first day Pastor Arnold Oh (theme speaker) hit right on the spot. Never have we all encountered being touched by the Holy Spirit on the first day as it always happens on the last few days of the event. You can totally see how different this convention is from the past ones. All my youth members came home so passionate and fired up for God. They were all so ready to spread what we experienced to those who did not manage to go.

My youth members are usually introverts while I'm the black sheep a.k.a the extrovert. Oh boy how they changed! Jumping, singing with their heart, doing actions and clapping with joy have replaced the standing still, emotionless and the unwillingness to move about and do actions!
As SMYC is held only once every two years, we get to meet both old and new friends from previous SMYC and also the current one.

We had activities such as Fun in the Sun, visit to the Methodist Heritage museum and a trip to Sibu's pasar malam (night market). There were lots and lots of durians (king of all fruits), longans and kalangs (asian olive) all around Sibu. As it rains quite often in Sibu, we were all given an umbrella. Sadly, mine got taken away by someone else :(
