Acts 2:17: “And in the last days, says God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh; your sons and daughters shall prophesy, your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams.”

On the first day, Sister Camila H. shared the opening message, “Come Boldly to God” (Hebrews 4:14-16). On the second day, Brother Leandro G. delivered the first main message, “I Will Arise and Go to My Father” (Luke 15:11-32), which was a deeply reflective message that, considering both the younger and older sons, urged us to ask ourselves whether we were inside or outside our Father’s house. That same night, Sister Elena F. preached the message “If Anyone Desires to Be My Disciple…” (Matthew 16:24-26) and taught us that Christ's disciples must prioritize the will of God, fulfill our responsibilities to God, and imitate Christ's life in all things.
 



On the third day, Brother Edwin R. shared the Conference's main message, "You Will Have Visions” (Acts 2:1-21). In his preaching, he addressed a prevalent issue among the youth: their lack of vision for their lives. Based on the Word, he taught us that the purpose of Jesus’ disciples should be to serve God and explained that, just as with the first disciples, the Holy Spirit is the one who gives us vision for our lives. He equips us to carry the gospel to all corners of the earth! Amen! On the evening of that day, Sister Shirley C. led a meaningful seminar called “Is Revival Possible Today? The Power of Visionary Children of God Throughout History.” She prompted us to reflect on the significance of young people in God's history in the world and challenged us to be the “sparks that ignite the fire of revival in our time.” It was very moving to see part of Missionary Sarah Barry's testimony during her presentation. After this seminar, we enjoyed a time of special activities, such as dance, theater, karaoke, and more, where all the brothers, from the youngest to the oldest, praised God with their talents.

On the fourth and final day, Brother Yoel A. shared the closing message, “Send Me, I Will Be Your Messenger” (Isaiah 6:1-13). This passage encouraged us to take the initiative to be messengers of God and share the gospel wherever He sends us. After this message, we prayed for the brothers in the congregation to gain vision from God and for those who wish to be sent to preach the Word.

We give thanks to God for guiding us through both the preparation and execution of the event. We are especially grateful for the invaluable messages shared.
