Address of the Youth Director to the Young People
across the Connexion in Commemoration of the
2025 Young People’s Week Celebration
Dear Young People of The Methodist Church Ghana,
This week, 13th – 20th July
is set aside for you to take centre-stage
across the Connexion. The week is designed to specifically address your pertinent
needs and challenges using youth-centred approaches. It is a period to fellowship in unusual ways through innovative ideas, programmes
and youth-centred initiatives. At the centre of it all is advancing the
formation of young people who are deeply rooted in Christ, unshaken by the
tempest of youthful life and shun all forms of ungodliness.
In
a year where growing into Christan maturity is our collective priority, it is
important for all young people to understand and appreciate that maturity is an
ongoing process which is critical to living the young years to the fullest. The
level of maturity needed to efficiently live the young ages is undoubtedly
daunting but with discipline and commitment, it is achievable through Christ. In
this special week, I call on all young people to take time out to reflect and
to identify personal areas that need maturing. Set goals and commit to working
on these personal maturity gaps to enable you live in a way that honours and
pleases God.
I
encourage you to get involved in all activities at your Society, Circuit and
Diocesan levels. Let
all young voices across the Connexion unite in prayer,
worship, and praise. May
the celebration be a time of renewal,
empowerment, and inspiration for all young people. May you be filled with the joy,
peace, and hope that comes from knowing Christ and making Him known.
Remember
that
depth and quality of your Christian experience can influence
both your personal life
and the world around you. Go all out and do
all you can- I am eager to see
the
difference you will make for Christ.
God
bless you.
Say No: To Ungodliness
