The Ministy is regularly in touch with the youth. In order to help them with their
studies, they are always advised to study and keep away from too many activities
which will not help them in their education and future lives. Pastor and the elders
do get in touch with them after church services to have discussions. Pastor
Emmanuel always assigned the youth to weekly Bible readings. Those who need
educational help were connected to those who have knowledge to help them. The
youth are always regular to church services. They are happy to get help whenever
they need answers to questions. The youth are learning how to play the church
instruments.
