We just returned a few days ago from the Dec. 28,2005-Jan.1, 2006 General Youth Conference held at the Chattanooga Convention Center, TN. Over 3500 young people from the United States, England, Romania, South Africa, Sudan, Iceland, Norway, and the Philippines attended. What a blessing it was to see them on fire for the Lord. Seminars were filled and overflowing. Many resorted to standing or sitting on the floor. Doors were kept open so others in the hallway could strain their ears to hear. 2000 young people knocked on 9,117 doors Sabbath afternoon preparing the city of Chattanooga for the forthcoming evangelistic meetings by Mark Finley. As a result of this outreach, 852 people requested for Bible studies. Praise the Lord!
GYC is an organization led by young people who want to prepare an army for the cause of God. Let us pray for them as they stand up for truth and witness for their faith

That was an excellent report of the GYC meetings. Maybe we should use it as a press release for GYC...are you going to write a report for the Santa Rosa Church?
Aloha! HAwaiian Style!

I don't understand what you mean by an army for God??? Do you mean with weapons, using violence? I usually think of an army as preparing for war, to fight, to defend, to hurt others...
Yes, you are right.The word "army" usually makes one think, as you mentioned, of "war, to fight.." There is also another definition which is a "large organized group: a large group of people, especially one that has been organized to do a specific thing." For example:an army of volunteers.
In this case, it's an army for the cause of God. A large organized group of young people whose focus is to follow God and to spread the good news of His love for all mankind. And the weapon? The Word of God! Hebrews 4:12-13: "For the word of God is living and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword..."
It is so amazing that you could put this together.
