Hold Unswervingly

"Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for he who promised is faithful. And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds. Let us not give up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but let us encourage one another - and all the more as you see the Day approaching."

Hebrews 10:23-25

This was the theme verse for the 3 day retreat we had for the Shan Christian Youth. It was a really good time of bonding with games, bible quizzes and meals together. During the retreat, we were able to have workshops on:

Devotion: Why it is important for us to develop a habit of reading the bible and praying. How we should go about doing our devotions. Every morning during the retreat, we had devotions surrounding the theme.

Evangelism: Why it is important as Christians. And how we can be more active in evangelism through the different ways of sharing God's love. We also took a morning to go to the big market in Mae Sai to give our tracts.

Every evening, we had the Shan Pastor to come and share with us. We were also able to have a session of 'Question & Answer' on the issues and struggles the Shan youths face in their daily lives. Mostly with regards to Shan animistic beliefs, spirit worship & buddhism. It was a good time for the youths to learn and know what the Bible teaches.

Praise the Lord for the enriching time where the youths were encouraged to hold fast to their faith and put their hope in God. Continue to keep them in prayers as they seek to grow in their walk with God.
