Kuala Lumpur, MalaysiaIn anticipation of the participation of SCM senior friends and student members in the up-coming CCA Assembly, a WSCF Gathering is being planned. The Gathering aims to gather about 50 participants to launch the NESCAP or the Network of SCM Senior Friends in Asia Pacific Region, a proposed platform for the SCM Senior Friends who are actively supporting the work of the SCMs and WSCF. The Gathering aims to make national SCMs more aware of the importance and potential of the senior friends and to reconnect with them for the life and mission of the SCMs; to encourage national SCMs to locate and identify senior friends and to bring them together from time to time for sharing issues and concerns; to create a network of national SCM senior friends; and to encourage national SCMs to have programs for senior friends on a regular basis. A Preparatory Committee has been formed composed of WSCF Regional Staff, Philip Matthew, Yong Ting Jin, Herman Shashtri and Philip Thomas.
Why an Appeal?Many of us have had unforgettable experiences in the SCMs and WSCF. I’m sure that you will agree that we have gained so much from our involvement in the SCM and WSCF and have brought about meaningful
changes in our own lives.
It has opened up our young minds to new perspective and viewpoints. It has provided us a unique space to challenge each other and make meaningful contributions in our societies. Most of all, we gained friends and comrades from far away places, many of whom have become lifetime friends, comrades and partners in life.
Because you believe that the same experience is worth sharing to the younger generation, and you believe that the vision of the SCMs and WSCF continues to inspire many young people today.
Here are some of the reasons that continue to inspire many young people from all over.
The purpose of this Appeal is to support the projects and to help sustain the work of the national movements in 17 countries, where there are SCM still active and contributing in their own way. [read on]

BangladeshOver the years, significant numbers of SCM members in Bangladesh are becoming ex members due to ending of their studentship and entering into professional and family life. As Bangladesh SCM is an absolute student organization so the ex members have very limited scope to get together and express their solidarity under the banner of Bangladesh SCM. In this circumstance, a clear demand has gradually been raised from the end of ex SCMers over the time to make a platform aiming to create greater solidarity among the ex SCMers and their family members through social, cultural and spiritual development so that they can play positive role in the family, society, churches and the nation as well in the name of the Jesus Christ.
