Encouragement from Youth

Last weekend, a group of Youth Leaders of Central Corps met in the unit next door to us for a retreat. They organised this themselves. Before the programme started, three of them - Guan You, Clarissa and Biru who arrived early paid us a visit. That was thoughtful of them.

I recall last Chinese New Year about a dozen or so of these young people came to pay their respects. When you visit someone on Chinese New Year you are showing respect. So kind of them to think of two elderly people. They could be spending their time elsewhere.

Of course, there is a reason these young people feel quite free with us. Two of our grandchildren - David and Rachel are in this group.

We thank God for these young people. They have that sense of ownership of the Army.
Well the future of the Army is secure with such committed youth leaders. They are precious to us, to God and to the Army. Let's do all we can to encourage them.

They had their retreat next door,and they were extremely good. We enjoyed listening to their singing. It brought us blessing. The only noise they made was when their Corps Officer (pastor) came. They seem to have a hilarious time, plenty of laughter. And because they are happy, we are happy too. Captain Lim Chee Kwee relates well with them.

God bless the young people.
