Northern Youth Alive Held in Penang 

18-21 September 2009 – While Malaysia is celebrating the month of Ramadhan, 131 young people and 37 youth and adult facilitators and camp leaders gathered at College General premise in the beautiful island of Penang during the Youth Alive camp – a camp dedicated to helping young people choose positive lifestyle, a lifestyle of Jesus Christ.

This is the third Youth Alive camp held over the last three years in Peninsular Malaysia Mission (PEM). With the theme “WHO AM I?” Pastor Erickson Fabien, a dynamic Pastor from Singapore, was used by the Holy Spirit in bringing messages of God’s unfailing love to the young people, alongside informative health messages from Mrs. Jane Yap, PEM Health Director, Dr. Dicky Ng, Dr. Edward Nathan & Dr. Yen Ang of Penang Adventist Hospital Church Wellness Clinic.

The young people enjoyed a great camaraderie of friendship as they were led to different activities in the family groups led by Marvin Marcelino, Guidance Counselor of Bangkok Adventist International School.

Perhaps the best way to describe the experience of the young people who attended this camp is through the words of Cindy Lim, a 15 year old girl from Penang who posted in her facebook:

“Finally I know who I am...I am yours, Lord! Youth alive is so good, I gained experience and made new friends...I love Youth Alive, it made me become alive to do anything...thanks youth alive!”

To the working committee of Penang Youth Alive – kudos to all of you! Well done indeed and God be praised!
