Youth Conference

On April 23rd-25th, our new youth director, Kalongo Richard, led a youth conference for our secondary children at the beginning of their holiday break.  

The warehouse, normally holding dried maize and beans, was instead packed to the brim with students singing songs of praise and worship.  The energy was tangible as they dug deep to receive spiritual refreshment after a long term away at school.

The conference began with singing and dancing, led by the students.  Our students have many talents and they put them to use over the three day conference.   Pastor Richard challenged and inspired everyone with the message that anything that is born of God overcomes the world. Other Amazima students presented on different topics such as purity and academic excellence.

“We broke them up into men and women in order to get them to really open up, “ explained mentor James, “we really want to encourage behavioral change.  We want them to be God-fearing boys and girls.”

It is our desire that the children who go through the Amazima program will know God and make Him known to those they encounter in their lives.  We hope through seminars and conferences such as these, that these children will know that God created them for a purpose and has set them apart.  Please pray for our secondary children as they begin to head back to school, that the truths planted in them over holiday will bring forth new life in the months and years to come.
