JEREMIAH EXTENSION (JX)
MINISTRY QUEST
First of all we would like to say that Jeremiah Extension (JX) is not only for those who have gone through Jeremiah School. JX is a rebranding of Christian Vocation Series (CVS) that the Board of Youth Work has been running for the last few years. We have put all the syllabus together plus some practical sessions like internship in a church and field trip to orang asli kampugs and made it into a one month learning experience. JX is also to re-affirm and re-confirm God’s calling into the full time ministry.
A little history about CVS: due to a great need for full-time workers in TRAC, CVS was initiated by young adults who were JS alumni and started especially for those who have the heart for exploring full-time ministry but meanwhile working in the marketplace or studying. CVS has modules like - Understanding yourself and Ministry Opportunities; Discernment – Understanding God’s will; Understanding God’s Heart. We also started support groups that were formed during CVS with the purpose of keeping the participants’ hearts burning through the support from other Christians. We hope to lead them to being confident about the gifts and talents that God has given to them. This will hopefully encourage them to be more involved in ministry.
The JX mission is to transform lives of those who heard God’s calling by partnering with local churches. We invite young people to explore God’s call through community, mentoring relationships and dynamic learning experiences. We will then release them back to their community a little bit better prepared for Christian leadership and discipleship.
Romans 8: 28-30
And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose. For those God foreknew he also predestined to be confirmed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brothers and sisters. And those he predestined, he also called; those he called, he also justified; those he justified, he also glorified.

And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose. For those God foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brothers and sisters.
