The highlight of the weekend was the ministry of Pastor Sharo from HopeNYC. First, she spoke to 175 Youth Pastors at the Saturday morning Breakfast. She gave a powerful testimony of her father, who was a Hindu Idol maker, coming to know Christ in Trinidad. In the general sessions she encouraged the students to wave the banner of Christ even if they are the only ones and have to stand alone! She also reminded us that there is power in the name of Jesus! She told us that there are many gods, but only one, Jesus Christ, who is alive and powerful.
As always, the weekend went by quickly and God moved in a mighty way. Only heaven knows the lives that were changed and ministry opportunities that await these students! Until next year….pray for the work that began in these students to continue!
