White Wing Messenger? - Church of God of Prophecy

Setting the pace for the conference, the first speaker was
Robert Madu from Texas. His message was based on discerning
your gifts from God. “There are three people that want our gift:
God wants our gift, the enemy wants our gift, and other people
want our gift.” How do you determine your gift? These are the
steps: “Identify what you like to do: What comes easy to you
that is hard for others? What do other people like about you?”
Madu said.
Saturday morning was a series of holistic workshops peaking
the interest of all in attendance. It was clear that some people
could not make up their minds on which workshop to attend
while others were very passionate and knew exactly where they
wanted to go. There were power-packed sessions such as, “Warfare
Praise Dance,” “Spiritual Warfare,” “He Has Called You,” “Friends
With Benefits,” “Successful Me,” “Cultivating Your Call to
Preach,” “I’m a Missionary,” and “Gym Shoes and Tired Knees.”
As the Church of God of Prophecy core values are to glorify
God through prayer, harvest, and leadership development,
it was a great honor to have the General Overseer, Randall
Howard, in attendance at the conference. He also conducted an
enlightening and empowering workshop under the theme, “Your
Spiritual Life.”
On Saturday night, eyes were closed, hands lifted, and hearts
chased after God as renowned Gospel Recording Artist William
McDowell ministered his hits, “I Give Myself Away” and “We Say
Yes.” His ministry brought a shift in the service, and the Word of
God was brought through His servant, Jerry Chalk, from Ukraine.
Chalk challenged the young people to encounter God because
“Your calling becomes your challenge to change your world,
your encounter brings your confirmation, your encounter brings
your transformation, and your transformation brings God’s
desire in your life,” he said.
After Saturday night’s General Session, there was an “After-
Glow.” Gifted youth from the represented countries hit the stage
and displayed their unique talents. A memorable moment was
when The British Virgin Islands Worship Team “caught a fire,”
and the youth were so blessed by their ministry that they left
the conference room singing praises to God.
On Sunday morning, the final session of the conference was
powerful. Rodriguez was accompanied by a Worship Ministry
Ensemble, and there was a dynamic drama presentation by
Battlefront Ministries. Trevor Reid, International Youth Co-
Director, released the youth to deliver through the Word. He
said, “This army will deliver, heal, prophesy, be visionaries,
anointed, and powerful. No weapon formed against us could
prosper, we are a mighty army.”
Chains were broken, lives were healed, eyes were opened, and
Christ was revealed. After the four-dimension weekend, the goals
of the conference were achieved. Gifts were stirred up, the call
of God was acknowledged, and tools were provided to nurture
the call. Operation Omega Youth Ministries has EMERGED!
