Youth On Fire

Youth On Fire report For the month of July 2011.

The theme for the month was: 'Obedience to the word of God'.

The month started out with happy-sad time for YOF. We had a bon fire and celebrated the arrival Benjamin Smith, but had to say goodbye to our friend Brandon Thomas. Had a wonderful time fellowshipping together.

 The next week the youth pastor spoke on the theme for the month. Had an awesome worship service with tongues and interpretation, great preaching, wonderful altar call and many recommitments.

 On the 10th was our youth service, had great worship and wonderful preaching. Benjamin Smith and Eugene Browne did an awesome job preaching the word.

The next week signaled the arrival of a young man who has a burden for Antigua and has always wanted to return to the island ever since he left as a child. That Friday we had an on the spot topic search. Everyone enjoyed it and there was great participation.

We had a bible quiz the next Friday. There was more participation than previous ones. Many of the youths studied which made it an even better quiz.

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.

Youth pastor comments:

 Overall we had a great month. The youths are getting stronger and closer to God. We have some wonderful young men who are on fire for God witnessing and preaching the word. There is a growing attendance in youth. God is doing great things through there lives. I am well pleased.

Goals:

 We are working hard to get everything ready for the youth camp, which will be held August 15-20. Our goal is to have at least one young person from every church in the leeward Island. Encourage them and send them home with a burden to reach the Lost of there nation. The theme for the month of August will be, 'Going beyond what is required'  and we will be working hard to emphasize it.
