World Youth Convention Delegates Prepare for Sweden

In July 2010, one thousand young Salvationists from around the world will come together in Stockholm, Sweden for the World Youth Convention to discuss global issues and the challenges of religious diversity and social injustice facing the world today. Twenty of these Salvationist will come from right here in the Kenya East Territory, including your very own TYS, Captain Khayumbi!

The four day gathering, led by General Shaw Clifton, is an historic event that will challenge delegates to be "Raised Up" through a focused study on Salvationism and encourage them to live out their faith in a practical way. They will have the opportunity to discuss a variety of topics, participate in a city outreach and even debate the General’s book New Love that seeks to show how Christian holiness is relevant to every human situation, including the major global issues of the day.

The twenty delegates from Kenya East, who have been selected by territorial leaders and demonstrate a commitment to future service as Salvationists, have already begun the process of preparing for the convention and are currently waiting for their passports to be processed. But they need your help to ensure the success and purpose of the convention!

These delegates have a unique opportunity to present you (Kenya East Youth) at a worldwide event. They are not only charged with the responsibility to deepen their own commitment to Christ but to impart what they learned with you resulting in an action that will help promote justice and peace, alleviate poverty, and serve broken people right here in Kenya. So please beginning praying for your representatives and that God may use this event to change the world for Him.
