The International Youth Fellowship (IYF) is one of the few organizations that is empowering the youth in the wake of the horrors of the pandemic, especially the emotional and psychological welfare of the youth.
The IYF together with its founder, Rev Dr. Ock Soo Park, is spreading hope to the youth worldwide.
In the pandemic, love is expressed by staying apart from each other, hugs are forbidden, and all forms of social and human closeness has been shattered. Health has become the new wealth: no matter how much gold or pleasure offered, it cannot be compared to the comforting good health everyone craves for in these dark times.
But we found a way to stay connected. The world is now distanced but connected. Despite the distance, we are connected through the internet. This story will never go untold – generations will pass it on to the succeeding generations. 2020 will never be forgotten with all its troubles.
From 30th July to 2nd August 2020, the International Youth Fellowship will host an online world youth conference – a conference that is highly important and designed to equip the youth with unique mindsets and heart to help them overcome Covid-19 related psychological stress and pressure by replacing such pressures with hope and joy.
The online conference will be pregnant with many youth engaging activities including…
Academy: Participants can join various online academies to learn Cooking, Languages (French, Korean, Chinese, and English, etc.) Public speaking, blogging. Experts with amazing experiences and expertise will be handling all trainings in the academies. This is to prepare the youth for life after the pandemic
Talent Show: There will be amazing prizes for participants who will exhibit amazing talent. This is to help foster hope in the youth and promise them that they are the future of tomorrow.
Worship: Music still remains one of the most powerful tools to drive emotions and to strengthen the heart of listeners. Gracias Choir, Joe Mettle, Alabaster box, Black Pearl, and other great musicians will lead the worship with soul comforting hymns and praises during the conference.
Lectures: Inspiring lectures from various speakers in Health, Business, Education, etc
Bible Lectures: At the heart of the IYF online conference is the power of God delivered through his word.Rev OckSoo Park, the main lecturer for the conference will deliver life-transforming sermons that will melt your burdens away.
“This is the sixth time a global health emergency has been declared under the International Health Regulations, but it is easily the most severe.” Said, the WHO Director-General on Monday 27th July 2020 at a media briefing on COVID-19.
The year 2020 will be a year that will go down in the history of the human race as the most challenging year after World War II. It will be remembered for centuries by generations to come.
The stories of how Covid-19 tore the world apart, how a single virus that originated from a remote village far off in Asia overpowered the 21stcentury together with its glamourous scientific sophistications within six months when the first person tested positive for the virus.
Science had no answers on how to stop it; technology was powerless in combating the novel virus; borders were porous; relationships were strained; and staying apart from each other was the new normal.
In Ghana for instance, the stories of Covid-19 cannot be told without the gallant efforts by front line health workers, individuals, organizations, and the Government that risked everything to wage war against the virus.
No small effort will be forgotten. The efforts of IYF Ghana are made possible through the in incessant support by Partners and Sponsors like Ministry of Youth and Sports, National Youth Authority, Tang Palace Hotel, Lantianyi Soyamilk, Qing Qi You and many others.
