Youth Matters
oktober 21st, 2007
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.

Nice summary=)
On my own account I would have added:
>>Leaf fight with lovely dry autumncolored leaves
>>Learning the coolest way to make rythms with your hands by(?) the table:)
And I’ll just mention that I found out that the papers deadline was changed to midnight on Friday. Now your work actually will be worth it;) Thanks for the help. It was nice to get to know you:)

I agree! Funny thing what you can do with a wordpress admin-interface – can see you have arrived in Bergen
(added later: But doh – I could’ve just looked at your blog)

Det kan da godt være Jonas, men der er da værdi i, at den måde, du fandt ud af det på var meget sjovere!
