SHINE movement beckons young adults to rise up



Reported by Chen Yi-hsuan

Written by Lydia Ma



SHINE, a Christian youth movement in Tainan which began in 2006, has 
inspired church youths and introduced the gospel to many unchurched teens 
in Tainan city. 

Buoyed by the success of SHINE in the past few years, organizers such as 
YMCA and Tainan Presbytery decided to try and start this movement among 
young adults. 

“Enlarge Your Heart – SHINE for Young Adults” special conference was held 
in the evening of January 9, 2011 at Tainan Thai-Peng-Keng Maxwell Memorial 
Church – Tainan’s oldest church.

More than 100 young adults took part in this conference where they 
worshipped God together and shared their experiences with one another.

SHINE’s objective is to encourage and motivate today’s young people into 
becoming passionate and godly people of influence for their generation 
instead of succumbing to peer pressure and secular values.

This is the first time that a SHINE conference has been designed to cater 
to young adults. Living Water Church’s Pastor Matt Chen underscored the 
main objective of “SHINE for Young Adults” is to inspire young adults to 
shine as role models in their work place in terms of integrity and 
godliness.
