SABAH YOUTH FOR CHRIST CONFERENCE 2011

INTRODUCTION

Adventist-laymen’s Services and Industries (ASI), Sabah, is organizing the first-ever Sabah Youth for Christ (SYC) Conference.  The SYC set up is modelled after the Generation of Youth for Christ (GYC) in USA.  The GYC success for the past nine (9) years are unprecedented and the youths in particular are stirred to be evangelists and many are convicted to serve the Lord in many ways.  Similar to GYC are the AYC in Australia, West Malaysia, and PYC in the Philippines which have brought tremendous impact to their youths. We hope the success of this conference will arouse the interest of our youths to commit to serve wherever they work or study.  Their ministries, through outdoor visitation and door-to-door knocking, will be inspired by the conference dynamic, powerful and inspiring speakers  and is backed and led out by laymen and local ministries.

PROFILE OF MAIN SPEAKERS

1. EMANUAL BAEK

     He is a seminar presenter for Amazing Facts. His years of experience in education coupled with his passion for the Bible has created a unique seminar experience, and you will find his riveting presentations leaving you with a desire to keep learning more. He has travelled to more than 25 countries spanning five continents, preaching the gospel of Jesus Christ to thousands, helping them find hope, courage, and a greater understanding of the Bible, especially in the area of prophecy.

With Emanuel’s excellent style of presentation and the thoroughness of the messages covered, you will be challenged to study for yourself. As you re-examine long misunderstood biblical truths, your faith and trust in God’s wisdom and providence will be strengthened.

 

A former seeker himself, he has the background necessary and outstanding gift of clarity to share these things with people who have had little or no background in the Bible, but would like to know more.

2. TAJ PACLEB  

     He was born and raised in the beautiful islands of Hawaii.  Growing with no Christian background, Taj got involved a life with no purpose and direction.  While in high school, Taj’s nickname was “The Chronic” a reference to his love for marijuana and partying.  But at age 16, he was invited to a prophecy seminar where the Word of God had to offer so much more satisfying and fulfilling than what this world had to offer with its vain pleasures.  Through one prayer God set him completely free from that destructive lifestyle and gave him a new high that no drug ever compare with:  Knowing Jesus and making Him known to others. 

3.  MARTIN KIM

     He serves as Communication Director of Adventist Southeast Asia Projects, a prayer-driven ministry that is working to bring the gospel to the poor in Thailand, Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar and Vietnam.  He will be sharing about how Jesus wants to change you, and through you to change the world as he shares stories about the power of prayer to accomplish great things.  Martin’s life and ministry motto is best summed up by the following quote:  “When man works, man works but when man prays, GOD WORKS!”
