INFORMATION
This is the second year Faith Community Baptist Church (YouthNet) is organising the GCYC. More than 500 people attended last year's event. Among them were 116 youths from 18 East Asian cities. The young participants testified that the gathering of God's people has blessed them. They came and received God's word and anointing for their communities and cities. They returned home knowing personally that God is at work in East Asia through a new generation of Christian youths.
This year's event is from 29 July to 2 Aug. The theme is "Celebrating the Nations" with the aim to forge deeper engagement with our overseas friends to serve the Lord and the nations together.
TESTIMONIES
I want to praise God for broadening my horizon. Sometimes my problems seem big but when I came here, I realised the more important needs of other countries. I also thank God for showing me the ways that He is moving and bringing the revival across Asia! He truly is great and awesome – not confined to any one place but He is everywhere – Praise God! Taanya, Sri Lanka
Vietnam, East Timor, Cambodia and the Asian countries does not feel so far away after all. I had a real 'feel' of the global Church of Christ. Felix, Malaysia
In the worship, suddenly I heard "BUFF, I LOVE YOU". BUFF is my nick name, I couldn't imagine that He called me by that name; I asked Him again "Are you there, God?" "BUFF, I love you and I have a plan for you." Nguyen Ngoc Linh An, Vietnam
