The World Youth Convention we had with The Salvation Army was fantastic, over 1,100 participants from all over the world. It was incredible, different cultures, uniforms, people with different features but all being brought together by one calling for being Salvationsts. It was a great reminder of 'Who we are' As The Salvation Army, a challenge for all young people of this Generation to take on hardcore issues on social responsibilities, social justice, call for officership for soldiership and keenness to talk about 'Holiness' as it applies to The Salvation Army. The worship and focus group discussions were phenomenal.
An opportunity for many to experience Christ in fresh ways, and a chance to see The Salvation Army with fresh lenses until the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. A calling for every person of this generation to take on a role in mentoring others so that there is a generation progression of faith, power and vision.
It was great to meet friends from all over the world we had connected during the Regional team process, from Ghana, Mozambique, Bangladesh, Rwanda, Uganda, Tanzania, USA, UK, Denmark e.t.c. The Youth convention in Sweden was a Whirlwind of hope and reflection for all that attended, the application will remain with each person. In Kenya we have had a first meeting of everyone who was in Sweden and we are working on developing a resource pool of young people to be utilized within the Territory for Gods work...
I had a chance to feel youthful and have my face painted....yay Sweden!
