Rev. R.L. Simon in his message encouraged the young people to occupy their activities with good deeds. He said youth has the potential to change the society as God has given them the strength and capability if they fear God. He advised the young people to overcome trail and temptation with the strength of God. Reverend reminded the youth that whoever fears God their strength would be renewed though they grow weak and will have better relationship with God.
Rev. Simon cautioned the gathering about their youthful desire and urged them to wait upon God for the right time. Encouraging the hundred youths to be hard working with God fearing in their lives he said “your are the architect of your own life”.
Youth secretary PNBA R. Th. Paolu in his speech said preaching the word of God was a Jesus’ commissioned for every believer and not only for the Jesus’ disciple alone. He encouraged the young people to serve the lord while they are still young and active physically and mentally. He said knowing Christ and accepted Him is more important than attending many youth and bible camps.
Dr. Rev. Woba James lecturer ETC in his message challenged the youth to stir up for the Lord by forgetting the past wrong doing and move forward with the gift of God. Encouraging the youth to accept Christ as their personally savior he said life without Christ has no meaning. Referring from the Bible Matthew 7:24-27 he urged the youth to build their career with God like building their house on the rock.
Various competitions were conducted which includes song competition, choreography, bible quiz, solo and extempore speech. Around 600 youths from 32 churches attended the program.
