The explanation was followed by an overview of current situation of youth which is easy to complain. Pramoedya Ananta Toer, a famous writer, mentioned the Indonesian people fell in three things that enslave them. First, the Indonesian people were enslaved by fear. Second, they were enslaved by ignorance. Third, they were enslaved by disease. This situation might happen repeatedly if the current generation is easy to complain and could not find life meaning.

The Arrow Generation

Godean, Sleman
On Saturday, October 15, 2016, Stube-HEMAT Yogyakarta was invited as a facilitator in new member recruitment of Christian Student Fellowship at Yogyakarta Institute of Technology (PAB PMK-ITY).
A session entitled ‘generation of arrow’ was presented by Yohanes Dian Alpasa. Thirty-eight new students participated in this event. They listened the explanation about generation of arrow which came from the understanding that youth was described as arrows which are launched along with vision, dreams, and goals. They are strong and powerful when they are used by the formidable hands. The statement of youth as arrows appeared in Psalms 127 and it is used by some churches as a basic awareness that they were not an ordinary generation.
This session was opened with a question ‘What is your goal?’ Some students cannot answer, it is really unfortunate. However, it was not stop here, because the participants were encouraged to have and formulate their ideas that moment. Without ideas, they live like a goalless arrow, just flying aimlessly, drooping, wilting and even being broken.
The explanation was followed by an overview of current situation of youth which is easy to complain. Pramoedya Ananta Toer, a famous writer, mentioned the Indonesian people fell in three things that enslave them. First, the Indonesian people were enslaved by fear. Second, they were enslaved by ignorance. Third, they were enslaved by disease. This situation might happen repeatedly if the current generation is easy to complain and could not find life meaning.
Actually, the students’ life is full of excitement. Not every youth could go to school and continue their study at college level. So, no one needs to complaint and lament. A person as generation of arrow should realize that his/her study is not a burden but a call to rejoice and celebrate life, to celebrate the grace given by God.
Most of the participants were new students so each would has a fresh experience about past life in high school. Once they set foot in Yogyakarta, they put ideas a head. Yohanes continued further, "Some youth fall in their study process because they do not have goals, however most of them who are able to determine their future because they have dreams, aspiration and life goals, they will survive. The arrow generation should be able to formulate what his/her future ideas".
The session was ended by inviting each participants to write down what they would do and expect to happen in the next three years. (YDA).
