SCANDI CURRENT
Conference Recap PASTOR ISAAC FERNANDEZ
I am absolutely amazed at all that God did at Young Saints Conference 2025.
I am so thankful for the faith of our Pastors, Pastor Eric and Pastor Natalie, for saying yes to this dream and idea and then providing us with a budget to accomplish it. What we never anticipated was receiving over $12,000 in donations to sponsor students! People within our church wanted to remove barriers for students who couldn’t afford a ticket. Thank you to those who sacrificially gave to make it possible for students to attend. We had so many donations come in that we were able to make conference free the week of, for any student who couldn’t purchase a ticket. That is incredible! I am humbled and proud to be a part of such a generous church. This conference wouldn’t have been possible without our youth team. I had an incredible team of leaders that met every other Saturday starting in January for planning and organizing. Then, the week of conference, we had over 100 volunteers over the course of the three days! Thank you for your sacrifice. Your service led to life change! I am not able to fit all of the student testimonies from conference into this magazine. However, what I can tell you is that students from all faith backgrounds had life-changing encounters with Christ. Students who come to church every Sunday, all the way to students who have never attended a church. We had multiple services where every student in the room flooded the altar to surrender to Christ. This wasn’t just a youth event; this was a move of God. I believe this wasn’t just a one-time event. I believe this was just a foreshadowing of what God is going to do in our student ministry. Conference was a moment that turned into momentum. Momentum that I believe will reach students in our city and forever change lives.
A movement that will help students see their God-given potential to become Young Saints.
