These messages left a lasting impact, equipping attendees with the tools and inspiration to make a positive difference in their surroundings.
A Celebration of New Beginnings
A particularly moving highlight of the conference was the public confession of faith by 25 individuals who gave their lives to Christ. This moment was met with overwhelming joy and celebration, as the congregation welcomed these new believers into the family of Christ. Their decision to follow Jesus symbolized the transformative power of the Gospel and the unyielding love of God.

It was a powerful reminder that God’s grace continues to work in miraculous ways to draw people closer to Him.
Fellowship Over Shared Meals
One of the most cherished aspects of the Change Makers Conference was the opportunity to share meals together. This simple yet profound act of fellowship reinforced the bonds of unity and love within the Body of Christ. As plates were filled and stories were exchanged, participants experienced a sense of belonging that transcended differences. The shared meals were a beautiful reflection of the early church’s practices, where breaking bread symbolized togetherness, generosity, and the communal celebration of God’s goodness.
Communication to the Youth
A special session during the conference was dedicated to the youth, with an emphasis on guiding them toward lives rooted in faith, purpose, and resilience. Speakers addressed the unique challenges faced by young people, including peer pressure, distractions, and the need for self-discovery in a fast-changing world. They encouraged the youth to find their identity in Christ and to use their God-given talents to serve their communities and glorify God. The session emphasized the importance of education, hard work, and maintaining a prayerful life, with a call to rise above societal expectations and become role models of integrity, faith, and determination. This inspiring dialogue left many young attendees motivated to live boldly for Christ and to take up leadership roles in shaping their future.
