LIFE will never be the same for all 43 youngsters who attended a fun filled, motivational and life transforming youth camp in Tanjung Bungah, Penang recently.
The participants including nine from Sunshine Cottage Welfare Society, Kulim were joyful, enthusiastic and seemingly ready to face the future challenges.
The smiling faces of the Tamil speaking participants, age between 13 and 30 from Penang, Kedah, Perak and Kuala Lumpur were bright and their eyes shining with hope for a greater future.
“I am confident that the whole camp especially the Character Building Programme by KJ Generation Resources (KJGR) has helped to mold and readjust the behavior patterns of the youths especially towards their parents and those in authority.
“This three days camp is definitely a success. I received a lot of encouraging feedbacks from the participants about what they have benefited from the whole programme,” said Pastor Michal Thomas who is the organizer of LOGO Ministry Youth Camp.
He who is also the chairman of LOGO Ministries said that he has been organizing youth camps for the past eight years and this will be an annual event to help educate and motivate the younger generation to be a better society that will be a blessing to the nation.
“I would like to thank the camp speakers, Pastor Santhanam, Pastor Ezra Ramesh and Kumarathevan for making this camp a success,” said Thomas adding that next year he desires to instill leadership skills into the youths and focus on other relevant issues.
A participant, K.Prabakaran, 23, said that the camp was very useful for all youths and he personally has learned how important it is to fear God and shun evil.
His friend, Jeremiah Soloman, 17, said that he too learned more about how to obey parents and those in authority and give due respect to one another.
“Give respect and take respect that’s what I learn from the Character Building programme,” added Sam, 14.
His brother Elisha, 23, said that everyone need to be righteous in all their undertakings because it is godly and help one to be more successful in their life.
Joanne Deva, 24, wants to put into practice everything she learned from the camp especially in the area of attitude and character.
“The old has gone and the new has begun!” proclaimed an excited wheelchair bound youngster, S.Tamilarasan, 22, who also added that the youth camp has helped build his confidence.
Deborah, 20, said, first of all she wants to ask forgiveness from her parents and as well as others whom she have hurt and want to be courageous to face the future.
D.Danies, 17, said: “after this camp, I want to be more attentive because it is very important. We can miss great opportunities if we are not paying attention to our parents, teachers and trainers or to the things that’s happening around about us”.
“I use to lie but now after learning about the importance of being truthful, I will make sure to speak nothing but the truth. I was also touched by the teachings on ‘The 10 Commandments to be an Excellent Child’,” said another camper, Shamma.
R.Vinsun, 16, said that the camp was fantastic and he has learned about the virtues of humbleness and how to apply it in daily life. “If we are rude, we’ll loose our testimony.”
Priscilla Michal Solomon, 19, who is also a musician said that in this camp she has learned how to make declarations and be enthusiastic which in turn will help her to encourage others who are down hearted.
“I am so blessed to be part of this training that taught me how to be thankful and appreciative. Now I know that if we don’t have good character, we will miss out a lot of good things that God have for us,’’ said A.Deborah Pathmani, 27.
The end.
