GREETINGS FROM DR KERN TOBIAS TO THE YOUTHS AT THE YUTCAH 2024
Dear Youths,
It is with great joy and optimism that I greet you in the name of Jesus Christ! It is in God’s providence that this special spiritual retreat is being held by our youths for our youths. It is to be noted what the Wisdom Literature asserts, “Remember also your Creator in the days of your youth, before the evil days come and the years draw near of which you will say, I have no pleasure in them” (Ecclesiastes 12:1 ESV).
July 11-21, 2024 enters the annals of the Caribbean Union Conference as a positive response to the challenges that are facing our senior youths, particularly in relation to their spirituality, identity, mission, vision of heaven, and remnant heritage. YUTCAH, Youth United Through Christ Aiming Heavenward, is an innovative and inspiring experience that I am excited about just like you.
The theme, “Unleash Youth Potential”, is powerful and spiritual. I believe that by the power of the Holy Spirit, miracles will be wrought and lives will be transformed. I commend Pastor Marvyn Smith, the Youth Directors, and all those who have collaborated to make this program possible.
I welcome you to this memorable experience and greet you wholeheartedly, hoping that we all will be united through Christ aiming heavenward.
