A theme is very important to the YISS. God always does something new every year in the lives of the participants and service team. We want the theme to prophectically capture what God is going to do. So after a time of prayer and group discernment, the Amplify Leadership team is happy to announce the theme for the Youth In the Spirit Seminar 2007:
"ALL THINGS NEW"
Taken from 2 Cor 5:17. Perhaps I'll just let the passage (in context) speak for itself.
Now we look inside, and what we see is that anyone united with the Messiah gets a fresh start, is created new. The old life is gone; a new life burgeons! Look at it! All this comes from the God who settled the relationship between us and him, and then called us to settle our relationships with each other. God put the world square with himself through the Messiah, giving the world a fresh start by offering forgiveness of sins.God has given us the task of telling everyone what he is doing. We're Christ's representatives. God uses us to persuade men and women to drop their differences and enter into God's work of making things right between them. We're speaking for Christ himself now: Become friends with God; he's already a friend with you.
(2 Cor 5:17-21 Message Bible)
This year, we are believing for a fresh start for everyone who comes for YISS. Whatever you have been through, how you have lived, how your relationships may be like - God wants to make all things new. Leave the baggages of the past behind and allow God to love you into a new life - the abundant life He wants you to live!
I found the reason for me
To change who I used to be
A reason to start over New
And the reason is You.
Amen.
Leo
