From December 27, 2020, to January 2, 2021, the brethren in Kenya held a youth convention around Lake Victoria at Sindo. The speakers presented Christ as the focus of our lives—in the choice of trade and profession, in health, in stewardship, in prophecy, in choice of a life partner, in education, etc. The youth choir presented several songs.

 

On Friday, January 1, 2021, the brethren began the New Year with three young people making a covenant with Jesus through baptism in the waters of Lake Victoria. Praise God!

Let us purpose in our hearts to shine for Christ in all we do in the upcoming year. For His honor, for His glory, for His soon coming.

A merchant once came to a village selling small stones he claimed would glow at night. Each stone came in a fancy wooden box. By the time the merchant left the village, he had sold quite a few of the precious stones.

 

People who could afford a stone gathered family and neighbors at their homes at sunset in excited anticipation to see the stone glow. But what a disappointment when darkness came, and the stone did not glow!
