The Catholic Archdiocesan Youth Office in Singapore, together with the ICPE Mission, launched a 5 week discipleship school from 3 February – 6 March 2009. The discipleship school, named ‘School of Witness’ (SOW in short), aimed to form a new generation of youth in Singapore. Four of us from ICPE Philippines joined Amilia from ICPE Singapore to serve in the School. There are altogether 17 participants who shared community living, lectures, cell groups, outreaches, liturgy and personal prayer time.
During the 5 weeks school, we held different sessions on topics such as God’s revelation as Father, God’s revelation as the Son, Holy Spirit, Sacraments, Stages of development, Forgiveness, Self-acceptance, Evangelization, Apologetics, Character Formation, Scripture, Worship, Church and Youth ministry.
The school was grace-filled. We saw how God faithfully led participants to greater freedom, new self –discoveries, a journey of healing and transformation. At the end of the school, participants shared that they gained insights and encountered God in new ways. We were blessed to see how each of them were renewed and fired up to go forth as witnesses of God.
