YFCI General Assembly 2008
Friday, September 19, 2008 - Friday, September 26, 2008
YFC Training Centre- CYARA
Johannesburg, South Africa
Historically, General Assembly has been a gathering of YFC's leaders
from around the world. In Brazil, we piloted our first ever "Young
Leaders" conference. The results from that have been amazing. Our goal
for GA 2008 is to create an event that is both inspirational for Senior
Staff (National Directors, Board Chairpersons, and staff) and launches
a significant initiative with Young Leaders.
GA 2008 is about bringing a large number of Young Leaders together
to see and learn from senior staff and to launch the Young Leader
Development and Empowerment initiative. We are encouraging each nation to bring five of their Young Leaders;
Your nation may bring more or less than five, however, we will only
provide travel subsidies for up to five. These Young Leaders are the
heartbeat of the movement! There will be teaching times for both senior
staff and Young Leaders, times of worship and prayer, great food, fun,
and laughter. Most importantly, those that come will leave with an
expanded vision of YFC's impact now and in the future through investing
and mentoring Young Leaders.
The International Office of YFC
has gathered some of the sharpest leaders from the entire family to
pull this GA off! Our host nation, South Africa, along with the entire
Africa Area, is looking forward to hosting GA 2008. We are holding the
event at one of the premier training centers in South Africa, which
happens to be owned and operated by South Africa YFC. We are anticipating a great event.
Please Pray:
- God will be honored in all that we do
- Planning and preparation for GA 2008
- The Young Leaders coming from the 99 YFC nations
- Provision of all of the resources needed
