What is it for me?

Wilfred James finished Basic Formation at IFFAsia in 2008. Since then, he has gone back to his diocese in Keningau, Sabah to serve the local Church. He is currently working for the Youth Commission of the Diocese of Keningau.

James writes about his latest encounter with IFFAsia students and staff during the group's visit to the diocese as part of the students' mission project.

Two weeks..among the students..interns...staff and local participants..like what Baow said to me .. That I sometimes bad..sometimes good..most of the time being nice...hehe i guess i overly praised my self..hehe..

Okay back to the mission...thanks to IFFAsia for your coming to Keningau...you dare to dream..dare to take risk... in taking part in the growing of young people in Asia... it is not an easy task! To prepare young leaders for the Church in Asia...most of the students are full of energy and some brought together with them their wildest and craziest dream to IFFAsia...to mold that motives..to polish it...just not easy task...but your dare, dare to be with the young and be part of their growth is an effort must be given standing ovation

Your coming to Keningau, once again convince me that you still the right place for young leader to be form...and Christ is really working in you...just like what Majar has shared.." I see Jesus in each one of them" I believe many of our young people in Keningau were touched by your presence. For this..I personally would like to thank IFFAsia for taking the initiative to come to Keningau and give life to our young people in Keningau.
