Yet two icles hppened thtdy.
fistly, thei cippled iend wsundenibly heled, nd secondly, the

as I think o the mlysin Chuchnd the tnsotion o the ntion,
I oten think o this pllel.Unotuntely the Chuch is ey

Chuch is so slow oing tht sheight s well be plysed. Soeties
it tkes yes, beoe counityhes o Chist o gets to see ny good

Suely we need the unned to dothe uniginble tody.
Whilst we pech tnsotion,
we practise transmogrication1.Indeed uch o wht we do is
soeties lughble becuse its soinsignicant and inconsequential. It
does not ipct society nd the onlypeople who e excited bout it e thechuch olks, becuse we he done
something, albeit not signicant. We
he ogotten tht it is us who e
suppose to be insignicant, not the
woks.

While the citics y he point, whtbout us Chistins? ae we to doptthe postue nd position ound in

It hs to do with ensuing tht thegoods necessy o suil nd o the

o Chnge You Wold (CYW), oeent initited to obilise youths
to tke owneship o thei utue in thecounty.
Initited by 1.., the woshipinisty o Eglepoint Coennt

hs the ptneship o chuches ndthee NGOs Counity t Het,
Tengnit nd Wold vision to help
eect the chnge.Chnge coes though chieing
two bod gols owneship ndweness.
1) Ownership
fistly, the youths e chllenged to
tke owneship o thei towns/cities
though seing the needs o theicounity. fo exple, in the I
Loe Klung eent held lst august,the young pticipnts obilised the
collection nd distibution o oodpcels to the poo in the southen
(Joho) town.Since then, the eent hs eoled
into ini-oeent I LoeKlung hs bought oe 200 youthso ious ces nd iths to eet

poo ilies on long-te bsis.The youths lso nged to help
the stteless childen in thei town to
obtin identity cds nd ised soe

menwhile, the I Loe Pennggoup, oed lst Noebe, pintedthe abodes of poor families at the Rie

2) Awareness
The second gol o CYW is to heighten
youths weness o socil injustice human trafcking, inhumane treatment
o eugees, poety o couption,etc. so s to ouse the to join theght against societal abuses. CYW
hs dopted the bttle ginst huntrafcking with its partnership with

By heightening the youthsweness o socil injustice nd lso

Eey ote counts. This point ws ocibly dienhoe in the ecent Sibu plienty by-

These potentil new 4.39 illion otes will ke signicant difference in how the country is governed.
