Faustina PierThe Youth Meet & Mingle session brought together around 30 youth for an afternoon of encounter with young missionaries who have answered God's extraordinary call. Held at the Parish House of the Church of St Francis of Assisi, the session aimed to create a space where the Pentecost Rally youth participants could connect, be inspired by real-life missionary testimonies, and reflect on how God might be calling them to live out their faith more deeply. The session began with an ice-breaking activity where everyone got to know each other. It was a great way to set the tone before we moved on to the sharing session. We were blessed to hear from three missionaries — Lorette Sylvia Jude (from Malaysia), Justin (from Taiwan), and Ania (from Poland) — who are currently serving with the KASIH House of Missionaries. They each shared powerful testimonies about how God reached out to them in unexpected ways. Lorette, Justin, and Ania's stories reminded me of the importance of returning to the roots of our faith. Listening to how they responded to God's call made me reflect on how often we take our relationship with Him for granted. What amazed me most was that they had once lived the lives many of us dream of — pursuing careers like architecture and music, with good salaries and stable jobs. Yet, they chose to let go of worldly success to serve Christ and spread His word through talks, service, and trust. One thing that deeply moved me was their unwavering commitment to God. While many of us are busy with studies or work and weighed down by personal struggles, these missionaries showed complete trust in God — to provide, protect, and lead. It gave me a clearer picture of what it means to be a true disciple. Justin, for example, had a strong musical background and used to write and produce music. After being invited to a spiritual seminar by a friend, his life changed dramatically. He received the gift of tongues and could suddenly speak English, through which he felt God's clear call to become a missionary.
This session left me with a few powerful takeaways. First, we are reminded to place our full trust in God's plans, even when things feel uncertain. Second, we need to nurture our relationship with Him — starting with small steps like volunteering at church events and growing from there. And finally, we are called to guide and encourage the younger generation by sharing our experiences and helping them see how God works in our lives.

MJCCD 1: Faith Unshaken
Faith Unshaken – Serving and Inspiring was the theme of the first Malacca Johore Catholic Campus Day (MJCCD 1). Originally planned five years ago, the programme faced delays due to the global pandemic. Jun 20, 2025 By Aloysius Irenaeus DuksonFaith Unshaken – Serving and Inspiring was the theme of the first Malacca Johore Catholic Campus Day (MJCCD 1). Originally planned five years ago, the programme faced delays due to the global pandemic. However, in 2025, through the joint efforts of the Malacca Johore Diocesan Young People Network (MJDYPN) and Campus In Action (C.I.A), MJCCD 1 was finally brought to life. The event took place over two days and one night at Majodi Centre, Plentong, gathering 77 Catholic students from various campuses across Melaka and Johor (UTM, UiTM, MMU, UTeM, UTHM, and various Polytechnics). Strengthening Student Relationships with Jesus The participants shared that the programme enlightened them through God's calling and inspired them to become beacons of hope for others as they serve on their campuses within their respective communities. They expressed that faith must remain firm and unwavering, especially in times of service, always grounded in trust in God's plan. Faith – The Foundation of our Hope Fr Paul Sia reflected on Hebrews 11:1: 'Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.' Drawing on the examples of Noah and Abraham, it highlighted their deep trust in God — a trust that students today should emulate, particularly as they face challenges in university life. With sincere effort and prayer, these challenges can lead to growth and fruitful outcomes. Hope and an Unshaken Faith MJCCD 1 stands as a meaningful milestone for both the C.I.A and Christian Fellowship/ Catholic Student Society communities, encouraging them to remain steadfast in their campus ministry work. Through humility and joy, students are reminded to continue serving faithfully wherever they are. Ultimately, with Faith Unshaken as the central theme, may we continue to grow in faith, remain firm in our service, be guided by the Holy Spirit, and nurture communities rooted in God's enduring love.

Seremban Park Signs Get DIY Grammar Fix After Embarrassing Errors Go Unnoticed
Subscribe to our FREE Although Malaysia's proficiency in English currently ranks Depending on the area and level of education, many can either get by with simple phrases or engage in full-blown conversations. We won't get into technical or professional use of the language here, though. Writing in English however could pose more of a challenge for some, which often results in some amusing typos. A neighbourhood park posted fitness station signs with broken English Facebook page On closer inspection, it seems that a resident or park visitor had taken upon himself (or herself) to make corrections by writing over the poorly-written signs. One sign for a fitness station called 'Log Hop' had instructions that wrote 'Standing on top of lower beam, stand your body for balance for few second or minute'. Using a marker pen, the person who corrected it wrote 'Stand on top of the lower beam, balancing your body for a few seconds to a minute' and left a note at the bottom saying 'Whoever wrote this needs English lessons'. Image: MainProp Seremban Facebook page Another fitness station sign wrote 'Archilis Stretch', which has a misspelling of Achilles. On this one however, the good language samaritan only corrected the instructions instead of the station's name. The instructions read 'Stand and place your leg on the bottom bar and both hands on the top of bar. Stay for a while and repeat for others side'. Image: MainProp Seremban Facebook page Another sign wrote 'Stand underneath and the both hands try to touch above the bar'. Frankly, the instructions are not written so horribly to the point that you cannot understand how to use the fitness stations. Besides, when in doubt, you could always refer to the pictures on the signs. They kind of illustrate things a little bit more clearly compared to the written instructions. Perhaps the committee that made these signs need to employ someone who writes better English, or at least get a third party to proofread the instructions before making the signs. It's not unusual for someone to be a strong writer but a less confident speaker, or vice versa. Both skills are important for effective communication, and it is beneficial to work on improving both areas. Share your thoughts with us via TRP's .
