Youth Ablaze: A Glimpse into FOFMI’s Transformative Experience at the 2024 National Young People's Assembly
"Remember now thy Creator in the days of thy youth, while the evil days come not, nor the years draw nigh, when thou shalt say, I have no pleasure in them."
– Ecclesiastes 12:1
"Let no man despise thy youth; but be thou an example of the believers, in word, in conversation, in charity, in spirit, in faith, in purity."
– 1 Timothy 4:12
Foundations of Faith Missions International (FOFMI) recently embarked on a transformative journey into the heart of the state of Georgia, joining partners for their highly anticipated 2024 National Young People's Assembly. Led by Dr. Hoffman, the FOFMI missions team experienced an event that will resonate in their hearts for years to come.
Under the compelling theme "Remember Your Creator (Eccl.12:1, 13-14)," the assembly gathered young people from across the nation for a weekend filled with passionate worship, enriching fellowship, and powerful testimonies. The presence of the Lord was high in the place as the youth demonstrated an extraordinary zeal for their faith, an energy that not only filled the room but also reignited the spirits of those in attendance.
Throughout the weekend, the youth took an active role in every aspect of the services. From leading praise and worship to sharing personal testimonies about the life-changing lessons they learned at Camp Jewel, the young people showcased a level of commitment and authenticity that was both refreshing and inspirational. The peak of their passion was exemplified when many of the young attendees made a personal heartfelt decision to dedicate their lives to Christ, culminating in a profound moment of spiritual renewal and joy as they were filled with the Holy Spirit.
During the Saturday service, Overseer, Bishop C. Worthem invited Apostle Hoffman to share a few words. It was at this time that Apostle delivered a moving testimony, connecting the past with the present, drawing on the rich history and heritage of the organization. His words not only touched the hearts of the young people but also rekindled cherished memories among the senior leaders, reinforcing the timeless message of faith and community.
The assembly wasn't just about the youth; it also served as a rallying call to parents and leaders alike. Encouraged by the display of youthful dedication, the leaders imparted wisdom to the parents, reminding them of their crucial role in guiding and nurturing the next generation. They emphasized the importance of raising children in the faith, ensuring that they grow to become leaders who are grounded in spiritual principles.
As the weekend concluded, the FOFMI missions team left Georgia not only enriched by the experience but also excited for future opportunities to connect and grow with fellow believers. The event underscored the vital role of youth in the church, serving as a powerful reminder that the next generation is not just the future but also the present torchbearers of faith.
However, the mission is far from over. The energy and commitment witnessed at this event serve as a reminder that the church’s future is in good hands—but continued support is essential.
