Saturday<\/strong><\/p>\r\n

The youth weekend took place in a dynamic and fraternal atmosphere, marked from the very beginning by an introductory message that set the tone for the meetings. It included a time of meditation and sharing of the Word, as well as a panel where the young people were able to share their experiences by addressing concrete themes such as lifestyle and friendship. The program concluded in a festive and creative atmosphere thanks to the Talent Show, which brought together dances, skits, slam poetry, and songs, leaving each participant with memorable moments.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Message<\/strong><\/h5>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
A Youth Consecrated to Christ<\/span><\/h6>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Apostle Michael Ipoli Felho exhorted the youth to devote themselves fully to God and to stop remaining mere spectators. He reminded them that true consecration is not just a promise or a lifestyle, but an active decision to abandon fleeting passions, to refuse to be \u201cbeneficiaries\u201d of the kingdom, and to become carriers of revival by bringing the word of Jesus to the lost souls around them. He emphasized that every young person must develop a clear vision and spiritual authority, accept the social cost of this calling (giving up friendships that normalize sin), and respond to the divine call by concretely inviting at least twenty people to the next meeting. In short, the message was an urgent call to move from words to action: to live a \u201cconsecrated\u201d youth\u2014available, fervent, and ready to spark a great move of God among young people and their communities.
Ultimately, this youth weekend was a powerful moment of fellowship and edification, where each activity helped highlight the importance of remaining rooted in Christ. The exhortations received and the exchanges shared now stand as a call to pursue this commitment daily, so that the youth may remain steadfast in their consecration and become a living testimony within their communities.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Sunday<\/strong><\/h5>\r\n

The apostle opened his message by reminding every believer that they are called to become an \u201cIsraelite midwife.\u201d This role entails\u202f:\u202ffacilitating spiritual new births, shepherding newcomers, protecting the community, and guarding the quality of the \u201cseed\u201d (the teachings and attitudes). By placing this ministry at the heart of the vision, he set the framework for a church that moves from passive spectators to a powerful, dynamic community.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

 <\/p>\r\n

After presenting the midwife mission, the apostle stressed the need for a solid economy. Financial prosperity should not be a luxury but a means to support social ministries, missionary projects, and quality infrastructure. He emphasized that each member, according to their ability, must contribute to the common pool, thereby creating a material foundation that enables the church to withstand economic storms and continue its divine mandate.<\/p>\r\n

\r\n\r\n<\/strong><\/p>\r\n

 <\/p>\r\n

The apostle described teaching and prayer as the two main pieces of a church\u2019s \u201carmor.\u201d Rigorous study of Scripture, continuous leader training, and the faithful dissemination of God\u2019s word form the doctrinal shield. Constant prayer activates this armor, providing protection against spiritual attacks and divine direction. Together they make the church resilient, able to discern truth and stay united despite external pressures.<\/p>\r\n

\r\n\r\n<\/strong><\/p>\r\n

 <\/p>\r\n

The apostle linked justice and integrity directly to the church\u2019s numerical growth. A community that lives out God\u2019s justice\u2014equity, compassion, transparency\u2014naturally attracts new believers. The integrity of leaders and members builds trust, encouraging visitors to commit long\u2011term. This dynamic is reflected in the \u201cdemographics\u201d: the more just and integral the church is, the larger its membership becomes, multiplying its societal impact and spiritual influence.<\/p>\r\n

\r\n\r\n<\/strong><\/p>\r\n

 <\/p>\r\n

In summary, the apostle presented a model of a powerful church built on four indispensable pillars: the role of Israel\u2019s midwife (facilitating spiritual births), a solid economy, exemplary justice and integrity, and a spiritual armor of teaching and prayer. The final call was clear: every believer must assume this ministry so the church becomes a dynamic, prosperous, and lasting force for the next generation.<\/p>\r\n
