KUCHING — EMPOWERED Ministry organised its final virtual session for the year 2021 on Friday, 3 December via Zoom with the theme One Last Time for 2021. The session began with a short worship song led by Emmanuel Foong, Music Team leader and moved on to a group interactive game led by Brian Chin and Francis Davin, the hosts for the evening.
After the game, a short message was shared by one of the Ministry leaders, Ralph Balan, in reviewing the year that was coming to an end. He shared how God worked powerfully throughout the year in the plans and activities that had taken place and how the Holy Spirit moved and inspired leaders, members, and friends in the Ministry. In relating to the Season of Advent, Ralph also invited those in the session to model after the Blessed Virgin Mary, to place our trust in God as she did in bearing Jesus while enduring the reality of being young, poor, unmarried, and far away from the comforts of home when she gave birth to Jesus.
The session continued with testimonies from three youths—Samantha Lau, Faybians Abit, and Gerald Kiing, on the experiences that they had in joining the activities during the year. Samantha shared her experience with the 6-session How to Pray Like Mary Bible Study Series, Faybians shared his experience in the Cell Ministry, and Gerald shared his experience with the Discover the Riches of The Mass short Bible Study Series, Sunday Prayer Sessions, and Friday Sessions. The evening ended with a video montage highlighting activities and happenings for EMPOWERED Ministry throughout the year.
EMPOWERED will resume virtual activities in 2022 beginning with the fortnightly Sunday Prayer Sessions on 2 January. For more updates, check out the Ministry’s social media pages on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and Discord channel; or WhatsApp 014-694 5414.
