A basket, a cloth, and a pair of scissors—simple items that symbolise something bigger. This young lady holds the “key” to a newly inaugurated youth centre in Guinea-Bissau. Our picture of the month for February from the report on the inauguration captures a moment of new opportunities.

The excitement had been building for months: the youth centre in Guinea-Bissau was finally completed and inaugurated with a divine service, traditional dances, and a shared meal. 

Card games, puzzles, and action—and all the while learning something about our faith. A group of youth leaders came up with this idea. Here is more on the world of nac-games.com. Check it out.

One city, two separate Youth Days. Two District Apostles, one faith. This story took place last year in Kinshasa. Here are a few impressions that left a lasting impression.

An Apostle in prison! And young people went with him. Their mission: pastoral care. The following story from Equatorial Guinea shows how a change of heart can transform someone’s life.

A globe, trees, flowers, and our Church’s emblem: all these were drawn by children from Colombia as a logo for a project named “Recycling in Christ”. Here are the pictures and the story.

Walking through the streets to make people aware of our church, playing games, or pestering the Apostle with questions—the activities offered at youth events vary. But there is one thing that is common to all of them: the young people all attend a divine service together.

Arnaud Martig loves travelling and interacting with people. This is what he liked about his job in international sales. He has been an Apostle since 2020 and will be appointed District Apostle Helper for the district of Canada on 13 October 2024.

When people think about more than just themselves, a lot of good things can happen. Many things can serve a good cause, such as running and singing and repairing shoes. Here is a look at some recent projects.

Poverty is particularly painful in the cold season. Those who can, make themselves comfortable at home. For those who do not have a home, a warm meal and some friendly conversation can be a ray of hope, for example in a church-cum-soup-kitchen.
