On Saturday, August 1^st, several thousand youth turned up for Youth Fest 2009! This was the first (and largest) event of its kind put on by the ministry. The majority of the youth came from the schools where we have been teaching Walk Pure the past two years. Their Walk Pure leaders were so excited to see them at the event. The anticipation was high.

From morning till evening, the day was action packed with competitions (eating, tug of war, limbo, volleyball), games (chubby bunny, bubble gum blowing), prize give-aways (t-shirts, hats, bikes), gospel artists (JB Katende, Isaac Morgan, Sammy K and more), dance group (Jericho Breakers), quiz, skit, and the Passion of Christ projected on a large blow up screen. The youth and leaders had a blast!

To add to the success of the day, was the leaders who worked diligently and cooperatively. For most of them, this was their first time to help with such an event; they felt excited and empowered. One of them (Dennis) even mentioned how he would be telling his grandchildren about this day.

In addition to the leaders, many of the youth, graciously thanked us for organizing this day for them. Daphne was blown away by the love we showed them through providing the event free of charge for all Walk Pure students. This day would not have been possible without the prayers and financial support of friends at home. The day went smoothly, weather was great, no problems or injuries, and the students had a great time. A seed of Christ’s love was planted in thousands of hearts this day.
