The 2024 Arise conference hosted by the National Youth and PENSA ministry at the Church of Pentecost Spain was an electrifying event that sparked a flame of empowerment among the youth of the Church. Under the resounding theme, "Unleashed to Transform Your World" based on 1 Peter 2:9, Apostle Emmanuel Quaye, the National Head, delivered a message that resonated deeply with the youth.
Apostle Quaye's message centered on the significance of unleashing the potential within the youthful generation. Drawing from the scripture, he emphasized the divine calling bestowed upon young individuals, referring to them as "a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God's special possession." This powerful declaration signifies God's intentional selection of youth to be catalysts of transformation in their spheres of influence.
To be unleashed, as Apostle Quaye explained, means to be released to embark on a journey of impactful change. He challenged the youth to embrace an unstoppable mindset this year, encouraging them to embrace their role as agents of transformation in a world hungry for change.
Furthermore, Apostle Quaye highlighted the importance of understanding the concept of transformation, emphasizing its potential to influence every aspect of life, including home, school, career, and society at large. The youth were urged to recognize their inherent power to shape the world around them positively.
A pivotal moment of the conference was the introduction of the JET model, inspired by the lives of Joseph, Esther, and Timothy. These exemplary young individuals, whose names form the acronym JET, exemplified unwavering faith and commitment to their divine calling. Apostle Quaye challenged the youth to emulate the resilience and dedication of Joseph, Esther, and Timothy, and learn from their virtues.
Central to the message was the importance of identity and mentorship. The youth were reminded of their identity in Christ and the need to cultivate a solid foundation rooted in faith. Drawing from the lives of Joseph, Esther, and Timothy, Apostle Quaye underscored the significance of mentorship in nurturing spiritual growth and leadership development.
He also spoke about the process of purification, consecration, and qualification as essential components of this journey. Through the testing of circumstances, God refines and prepares His chosen vessels for divine purposes, mirroring the experiences of Joseph, Esther, and Timothy.
As the conference concluded, a renewed sense of purpose and determination filled the hearts of the youth. Armed with the teachings and insights shared by Apostle Quaye, they left empowered to unleash their potential and transform their world for the glory of God.
