In the Diocese of Sintang, on the island of Borneo, young people from the parish of Keluarga Kudus, Holy Family, urged the Sisters to organise a camp, because they feel it is important to grow deeply in the Christian faith.

The young people realise that the world would like to keep them away from God, that without the strength of faith in Christ they might lose their way in life.

So, during this camp, from 23 to 24 November 2024, I was called to give my testimony about my vocation.

The Word of God that has always accompanied me since I was a teenager is Take to the sea, Duc in altum, which also means Enter into deep waters.

My vocational choice is because I always wish to go deep in the knowledge of and relationship with Jesus who is the way, the truth and the life.
