The conference theme was based on the book of 1 Peter. God raised four messengers to share His word. Pastor Steve S. from Toledo delivered an overview and introduction of 1 Peter. Jeff G. from Columbus spoke on 1 Peter 1 with the title "A Living Hope." Danny K. from Columbus delivered a message titled "Royal Priesthood" on 1 Peter 2, and Dr. Tom K. gave the closing message on 1 Peter 5 titled “When the Chief Shepherd Appears.”
A total of 29 young adults and students from the region attended the conference. Among them, God raised 13 who prepared their testimonies and Bible reflections in advance and shared them at the conference. They encouraged attendees with heartfelt stories of God’s work in their lives. We were deeply encouraged to witness how God is working in each chapter. Samuel D. L. from Ottawa, Canada, gave a presentation on “Reflection Writing.” Following his talk, attendees joined group sessions to write and share their reflections. The conference was further enriched by the dedication of many faithful and willing servants. Leaders served in HBF and CBF programs. 11 group bible study leaders guided attendees through enriching Bible study and testimony-sharing sessions. Music and tech servants worked tirelessly to support the program, creating a spiritually uplifting and well-organized conference. A string orchestra was formed and played beautiful hymns.
We pray for God’s continued guidance as we support house church ministries, focusing on nurturing the spiritual growth of young adults.
