Spring Blossom - All Things Are New!
|

Don’t let anyone think less of you because you are young. Be an example to all believers in what you say, in the way you live, in your love, your faith, and your purity.
~1 Timothy 4:12 NLT |

A Message From Our Youth Leader
2021 marks the 'Dawn of a New Season'. As we have now been living in this ongoing pandemic, life as we once knew it has shifted. We have been thrust into ongoing Zoom classes, Zoom youth meetings, and Zoom graduations…Yet in a time like this, although the method of doing certain things has changed, our mandate has remained the same. Our desire is to reach out to youth from all nations, letting them know that Jesus loves them. Youth on Fire (YOF) has continued to grow, and as a result, our YOF umbrella has expanded to meet the needs of our young people. Our groups are: Young Adults, Teens, and Boys. As we continue to navigate the challenges of this season, we invite you to get connected to one of these groups as we continue to learn and grow together.

Testimony
I came to the realization that all my life I’ve been looking for love, affection and attention in all the wrong places, particularly from the opposite sex. I wanted someone to love me more than I loved myself.
When I was young, I was offered things in exchange for my body. Despite knowing not to talk to strangers, I enjoyed the compliments, the acknowledgement, and others taking interest in me. I was invited to many secluded places: to cabins, houses and so on...but it was God's Grace that saved me from going down this slippery slope!
Today, I am a born-again believer and the Lord is asking that I put my trust in Him and give Him my all. I found strength when I took Him at His word; I found love when I stopped looking elsewhere and began spending time with Jesus.
I don’t know who’s reading this, but I want you to know that Jesus really loves you. Open up your heart and approach Him in whichever way you feel comfortable, and tell Him “Lord, have Your way in me.”

Our YOF Community Connect initiative’s objective is to set funds aside in order to support charities that work with young individuals in need and to support youth in the community. We aspire to be one of the driving forces behind youth’s success, so they can know that there is a community of people who believe in them and who are also willing to support their endeavours.
