Youth from the Filipino-American International Seventh-day Adventist Church reflect on their experiences at the 2011 Generation of Youth for Christ Conference (GYC) held in Houston, Texas.
It was surely a blessing for me to be a part of the 2011 Generation of Youth for Christ Conference in Houston, Texas! Just the thought of waking up every morning at 5AM for personal devotionals with my church youth group, to 3 hour lectures on various topics concerning the Holy Spirit, to meeting and mingling with many young people in Christ, then on to the outreach door-to-door evangelism in Houston, and then ending the year with heartfelt prayers, praises, and supplications to God, the whole 4-day event was spent in study of God's Word. I came out from the conference knowing that there is a mission that needs to be completed prior to Christ's second coming, and knowing that it is the youth of this generation that will execute that endeavor.
So... what is GYC aka Generation of Youth for Christ?
