Mini Youth Leaders' Camp

The Youth Leaders' Camp is a yearly program catering to the needs of young leaders in the Diocese of Sandakan. The second Youth Leaders' Camp (YLCII) scheduled on 23rd - 27th January 2013 will be held in Holy Trinity Church, Tawau.

St. Mary's Cathedral, Sandakan.

The objectives of the camp are to build up and strengthen relationship among the young leaders of the four parishes and rediscover, renew and reconnect their faith as a person and as a servant leader. In order to help them achieve the objectives of YLCII, mini Youth Leaders Camps were held in each parish of the diocese on 12th and 13th January 2013. By having the Mini Youth Leaders' Camp, we hoped they would really understand the reason they are called to participate and would experience the richness of the upcoming event.

One of the main topic during Mini YLCII would be the "Personal Development Plan" - PDP is a method that can help the young leaders in planning, reflect and follow the right direction as well as to have a balance life and the right attitude in serving  the church.

The second component of YLCII is Pastoral Planning. All youth leaders were reminded to discuss their pastoral plan in prayerful discernment and in close consultation with one another. 

The program ended with a prayer dance/bibliodrama named 'Blessed Dance.' We hoped with the Mini YLCII, the young leaders are prepared physically, mentally and spiritually for the upcoming Youth Leaders' Camp II. We welcome you to the camp in Tawau and do expect the unexpected.
