Here am I: Spiritual Talk by Raban Roger Akhrass (SYGG-Syria)

Very Rev. Raban Dr. Roger-Youssef Akhrass, Director of the Department of Syriac Studies, gives a Spiritual talk at the Suryoyo Youth General Gathering – Syria 2017. The talk was entitled: “Here am I” and is taken from Isaiah 6. Raban Roger talked about the importance of hearing the voice of the Lord, and humbly accepting His call without asking for the type and reward of this mission. He also stressed that accepting the call of God should be accompanied with the courage to witness for the truth and the readiness to die for the Lord.

Raban Roger then emphasized that the call doesn’t come from humans but from God Who respects our free will. The called person should be able to define his relationship to God, serve without conditions or expecting any rewards, and rapidly obey God’s commandments.

After the talk, the participants were divided into sharing groups where they discussed the presented topic and shared their experiences.
