As part of a growing awareness that something must be done for our youth, SACCRE Youth is organising the ABLAZE Youth Rally for young people aged 16 – 30 in Singapore. Teens as well as young adults in Singapore will have the chance to set their hearts ablaze for God on Saturday, 9 September 2006, at the Church of St. Ignatius from 7:30 pm – 10:00pm.
As a body of various youth ministries across the diocese, SACCRE Youth is a newly formed youth body under SACCRE (Singapore Archdiocesan Catholic Charismatic Renewal Experience) with a huge vision, of building and inspiring a growing desire among youths in our parishes to enter and experience a real and deeper relationship with God.
Young people today are being pulled away from the church by numerous factors. SACCRE Youth believes that we need revival and to be set ‘on fire’ by experiencing the love of God in a radical way, even more than what we’ve always known. Youths today need a catalyst for renewal and for turning back to the church.
ABLAZE is therefore aimed to be a nationwide youth rally where young people from all over Singapore gather and be inspired by other young Catholics on fire for God. It aspires to give every participant a new, exciting experience of God's love and presence. At this Spirit-filled event, young people, especially youths from the West district, will be challenged to live out their faith in new ways and to contribute their talents, instead of watching the church at the sidelines.
Though this September event is held in the west district, young people all over Singapore are invited. Expect a lively praise and worship scene, and a spiritually revitalising talk on the theme -- The deeper, higher and longer love of God.
The rally’s guest speaker is Freddy Gomez, who is experienced in engaging with youth in spiritual dialogue, helping them encounter Jesus in their lives by sharing his own journey towards Christ. At the end of the talk, all will be invited to request intercessory and healing prayer for any personal need.
The various youth ministries sharing the vision of SACCRE Youth include Amplify Ministries, Jesus Youth (Christ the King), Living Stones Campus Outreach, NTU CSA Charismatic Prayer Group, and Youth Arise Ministry (OLPS).
If you are interested to be part of ABLAZE you may get there via bus services 48, 93, 153, 165, 174, 186, 855 or 961 to Farrer Road and walk towards St. Ignatius Church along King’s Road.
