Though the moon fades and the stars stop shining; though the hairs turn  grey and the years spent accumulate; there are moments in  life that barely gets effaced by time. Stories fade and things end, but best memories linger forever.

    Inspiration: Two things; the most     
 greatest and the most dangerous   
 happens in secret. The bible           
  emphasizes about the first in           
Mathew 6:3 & 4 - when you do     
       something for the Lord, do it in           
secret. Your father who sees what
   you do in secret will bless you. And
      And too the worse happens in secret.
     Keep your secret life right with God,
        for this determines whether the worse
        happens or the greatest ever blessing 
 you experience in your life.

 Inspiration: The times are changing; the time
   of Noah is repeating. Young people are being
  lured out into world and destroyed. Those of
    us who are in the house already, please do not
  ever let go the golden opportunity! One         
   important thing that God gives us TIME. DO
      NOT EVER WASTE TIME!

 Testimony: I was only a little boy - at an 
 age when I needed my mother most, she 
   was taken away from me. I was left alone 
     in cold and lost. My whole world crumpled.
I didn't have that much of support - this 
      life had never been easy. But as a little boy, 
        I gave my life to Jesus. He had always been 
    the strength I ever needed in this journey. 
     To give my life to Jesus at such an age like
       that as I know now, was a greatest decision 
      ever I made in my whole life. I have sworn 
    to be in the house and serve the Lord that 
  took care of me. So, my advice to young 
       folks   out  there, come and let us serve the 
      Lord.

        and find your complete beauty in Jesus 
        CHRIST!

Nathan - Youth Leader for Erima CAF Church

 Inspiration: Our Integrity is very important, and
      that integrity is built in the secret places when     
      we're alone. Our pastors, our youths friends,        
         Christians and everyone else may see us as good 
      youths, but if God sees us the other way around, 
      we have a serious problem. So. try living a life     
      that is pleasing to GOD and build your an             
         integrity that's unbending to live with in this tough 
    times.                                                                    
  

Hula, a place of breathtaking beauty and enchantment, welcomed a group of youths with open arms and an unexpected surprise. As they left the highlands and ventured into the coastal lands of Papua New Guinea, little did they know that their journey would lead them to an extraordinary night of worship and spiritual awakening. This article recounts their awe-inspiring experience in Hula and highlights the transformative power of faith and unity.

Arriving in Hula after a long journey, the youths were immediately captivated by the beauty that surrounded them. The sun painted the sky with shades of pink and orange, reflecting off the vibrant coconut trees that danced in the breeze. The rhythmic sounds of the waves crashing against the shore resonated in their hearts, filling them with a sense of wonder. The scent of the sea mingled with the air, creating an atmosphere of tranquility and anticipation.

With excitement brimming, the youths gathered within the church fencing, eager to meet their friends and explore the new place. However, an unexpected announcement shook their expectations. The pastor revealed that the local congregation had prepared a unique welcome called "Banana Feeding." Intrigued and puzzled, the youths couldn't anticipate what this entailed. Little did they know that this unconventional welcome would become a moment of joy and laughter.

As the youths stood in a circle, heads bowed in prayer, they were suddenly bombarded by spoonfuls of banana. It seemed as though they were under attack. Yet, instead of fleeing, they heeded the pastor's advice to stay put. Creamy bananas landed on their faces and beards, creating an explosion of laughter and camaraderie. The ice was broken, and the stage was set for an unforgettable night.

As the sun gave way to the night, the atmosphere grew electric with anticipation. The local youths, adorned in vibrant ensembles, and the visiting youths, ready for worship, came together to honor the Lord Almighty. The praises and worship transcended the ordinary, taking the gathering to new spiritual heights. The energy and intensity of the worship reached a crescendo, and the impact was profound.

The preaching of Willie, the Hula CAF Church youth leader, touched the depths of the youths' souls. Inspired by the story of Uzziah's demise and the opened doors of heaven, a wave of repentance swept over the gathering. Tears flowed freely as the young hearts sought forgiveness and sought a deeper connection with God. The night ended with a collective understanding that more worship and devotion were needed in their lives.

The transformative experience did not end with the night. The youths' thirst for worship continued, and they eagerly awaited the dawn. The morning arrived, painting the sky with vibrant colors, and the momentum from the previous night carried into the new day. Youth leaders from different local churches in Port Moresby shared their inspiring testimonies, fostering a sense of unity and encouraging personal growth.

The journey to Hula became an indelible mark on the lives of these young individuals. Their encounter with the beauty of nature, the warmth of the local community, and, most importantly, their profound connection with God shaped them forever. The story of their visit to Hula serves as a testament to the power of faith, unity, and the transformative nature of divine encounters. May their experience continue to inspire others and be remembered as a moment of extraordinary spiritual awakening
