Marcus experienced his first-ever KYCK this year and it left a lasting impact. While the electric energy of worship and heartfelt cabin moments were a highlight, Saturday night was a turning point with him recommitting his life to Christ. This is his KYCK 25 story!
1. Please introduce yourself and how many times you’ve attended KYCK!
My name is Marcus Wang. I go to REEF Youth in Carlton and I’m in Year 8. This year was my first time at KYCK!
2. What was a KYCK highlight?
The energy of the worship, encouraging talks and making so many fun memories with the youth group — playing games and spending time together. The further bonding with my mates and laughs in the cabins were something to cherish.
3. We heard you recommitted to being a Christian at KYCK! What was that like?
Saturday night was extremely fun. Hundreds of youth singing together was electrifying. I wanted to recommit as I wanted a deeper connection with God and knew only Christ will get me there. Jesus is the only way of life, and the sole path to salvation.
For me, the feeling under God’s presence is love and peace. Being God’s son is rewarding and I can look up to Him without fear but embrace Him with joy.
4. How has your Jesus changed your life?
Jesus has changed my life significantly, ever since I put my faith in Him, I have been more calm and able to resist temptations more. I found a sense of purpose and direction in life, knowing I am loved and valued by God. He inspires me to be the best person that I can be, living in His light and holiness.

5. How has KYCK encouraged your faith?
KYCK has not only encouraged my faith further but completely changed it. As a child, I wouldn’t actively listen in my Sunday school church groups and didn’t know much from the Bible. However, KYCK has continued to grow my faith from the discussion questions and intriguing talks.

6. What was your main takeaway from the talks?
My main takeaway from the talks is not giving up your faith in Jesus as faith is where forgiveness is. Jesus is why we can be accepted by God, Jesus was rejected on the cross for us to be accepted. Freedom comes from the true gospel.

7. Lastly, what has Jesus set your free from?
I have been set free from the flaws and limitations of my past and Jesus allows me to maximise my potential. He also set me free from the penalty of sin.
