Youth Matters
Just attended the ‘Youth Matters‘ event held by one of the European branches of the Adventist Church.
Among highlights can be included:
- Heartfelt worship, with an inspiring band leading us in praise
- Talks with Danish people you don’t get to meet too often
- Talks with people you do meet often
- Baraka Muganda’s persistant focus upon the attendants finding their future spouse at this event
- Walks talking about 1844 while Mats climbed the tallest tree on the mountain
- Getting to know new people
- Lack of sleep
- Papers due on Israel and Palestine
- Prayers from the mountaintop
- Beautiful Norwegian scenery – scaringly, I felt at home (Ja, vi elsker dette landet)
- Søren Østergaard’s presentation with some very useful perspectives on youth leadership and the culture of youth today (he used the strong words for a reason
) - Nicely structured presentation on post-modernism which surprisingly enough didn’t seem to catch onto the modernistically minded people in the audience…
It would be good to say that now I’m all energized to do some work and ready to be a real youth leader. Unfortunately, we sometimes tend to destroy out own spiritual experiences. Thank God that He is still good.
