Dear Youth and Youth Workers:

 

Greetings to you in the matchless name of Jesus Christ.

It is with great honor that we welcome you to the official website of the International Youth Department of the churches of God in Christ.

We would like to express our warmest appreciation for you taking the time to visit our “Home on the Web.”  This website has been designed with you in mind, so that your IYD experience would be an enjoyable one.  We pray that this experience would be Informative, Inspirational, and Life Changing.

This is the year of “New Beginnings and Fresh Starts,” let us prepare ourselves for the new direction in which the Lord is leading us.  We would like to Thank God for our International Presiding Bishop, Bishop Charles Blake and his vision to take the church into the future and for allowing us to serve the greatest department of the church, the International Youth Department, to the General Board and Mother Willie Mae Rivers for their continual support of the International Youth Department.

To the greatest team ever, our International Chairlady, Evangelist Joyce Rodgers, Vice Presidents Willard Payton, Roderick Hennings, and Kevin Knight, the Departmental Officials, all of the Jurisdictional Presidents and Chairladies, and our wonderful Youth Advisory Council Board we thank you for all of your prayers and support to help brings us into this new year.  You all are simply the greatest!!!

As we approach AIM 2008 in the beautiful city of Detroit, Michigan we are asking that each of you register early and make the necessary plans to be in attendance.  We are expecting a”Mighty out pour of the Spirit of the Lord!” Please come with a spirit of expectancy. 

In closing, it is our sincere pray that your visit to this website is an enjoyable experience and that it impacts your life.  Again, welcome and we invite you to our “New Beginning.”

 Be Blessed,
