The month of September was wonderful month for us. We had youth services, prayer meetings,bible quizzing, and some entertainment.

The theme for the month was ‘Walking in the supernatural’ which we began to do. On the 16th the youth pastor spoke of Elijah and how he walked in the supernatural.

And the next Friday we had a prayer meeting and the presence of God filled the place. One young lady who was baptized before received the Holy Ghost while we were praying with her. That was exciting.

On the 30th was our bible quiz on Elijah the prophet. And everyone studied and there wasfull participation from everyone. Everyone enjoyed it and was blessed.

The month ofOctober was filled with excitement. The theme for the month was ‘Being awitness’.

So the first Friday of the month the youth pastor spoke on the great commission andencouraged everyone to be a witness.

On the 9th we had our youth service and God’s presence was there. The preaching was reallybeing a witness in both morning and night services. In the morning God spoke to us through tongues and interpretation, the message was basically go be awitness and not be afraid.

The 14th we had a teaching on outreach and we were all enlighten and educated on how to go about doing it. So the next day we went out on the streets talking to people and we met a man who was hungry for God we took him to the church baptized himin Jesus name and he got a double portion of the Holy Ghost.

The next Friday we watch the youth service from the UPCI general conference, and thepreacher talked about outreach too. We had an awesome altar call and were encouraged. So the next day we went out witnessing again.

Friday the 28th we had a testimony service we picked a few persons to give there testimony. And we were blessed to hear some of the testimonies from our youths which some of us never heard before. So we went out on the streets the next day and let told people about those testimonies.

Sadly we didn't have any youth meeting on the 29th because of the carnival activities happening which could have put the bus drivers in danger.
