16 Young people had an opportunity to go for a three day leadership training with Rev Zowa. it was a great time of learning. Below are some of the testimonials about the training and the trip
VICTOR
The trip was awesome and so educative. I learnt a lot to mention but a few. I got to improve on my social interactions with people and at the same time grow spiritually in the Lord. I was kind of sceptic about the phrase 'church is fun', now I know how fun church is and I can't wait to explore more in the house of the Lord. You helped me improve on my perception on life itself a, how I carry myself in the community and most importantly how much of a good influence i can be to other people.Thank you very much.

I had a lot of time to learn and also to enjoy. What will remain with me, is how the teachings stimulated me not to asisst change a lot to our modus coperandi as youth but to be the change. I could feel that the past experiences of my superiors ( Bishop, Amai and Pastor Rich ) challenged me to lead in the house of the lord. To be involved in any way possible putting my capacity in consideration.
I will never forget learning that rejoicing as a youth is not a sin. The teachings that I got emphasised on how I should rejoice and lift the name of the Lord high as a youth. Cause as time flies responsibilties will pile up to such an extent that rejoicing and lifting the name of the lord with be different compared to how I do it in my youth.
Lastly I would say that I appreciated the concept of prioriting physical relationshiop with less "phones" in them. For example not to send comments to a sick person but rather visiting them and actually seeing them in person. I understood how it keeps me closer to the people around me and how it strengthens relationships I haven with friends and family.

Active participation in church i.e. find a ministry to join as each person is part of the body of Christ.
Serve both God and man as this makes the church.
Accountability for one another.
Personal Remarks :
A good retreat as opinions were expressed and a good way of bonding. New perspective of life and how to manage life pressures
