Trip to Zimbabwe

Greetings in the name of Jesus!



Saints we have been invited to a BSYD youth conference to be held at the Baptist Conference Centre in Gweru, Zimbabwe from the 2nd to the 5th of April 2010.

This is a wonderful opportunity for us as the BCYD to take our ministry across the borders of South Africa, do mission work in Zimbabwe, fellowship with our bretheren over there and ultimately make divine partnerships with other young people in our neighbouring countries.

The Registration fee excluding transport is R200 per person, transport is estimated to be R600 return (final confirmations will be made soon), we need to know those who are interested in being part of this historic moment so that we can make proper arrangements.

This is BCYD, a generation of those who seek His face!

Those interested & need more info please reply on our FB wall (please dont inbox to all) or inbox Neo Legodi/ call 082 5589 772/ email neo.legodi@murrob.com

Hoping for a possitive response from you!

Two important things:

1. All those interested to go to Zim must have valid passports, if not please apply immediately at your local Home Affairs department so that you can have it by March monthend(it doesnt cost much)

2.The R200 registration fee includes accomodation & food.

NB:Please visit our discussion board on our FB Group as we will be posting topics daily (starting today) to share with one another, we want to have your thoughts & heart about who God is in your life.

Souther Gauteng BYD

The Southern Gauteng Summer Camp was a blast!

God ministered in a powerful way through the sermons by Ps Vuyo Langa and in different forms. The worship team kept the fire burning in all the evening celebrations and we learnt a lot through the workshops about serving and leading which were encouraged participation and teamwork through working in groups and presentations. One of the highlights was the generation of 25 ideas around what could be done during the world cup and eliminating the 23 ideas and were left with 2 which would be carried out by the region during the tournament. The games afforded us an awesome opportunity to bond with and get to know each other better.

The activities included:

1. Workshops

Saved to Serve, Leadership, 2010 Evangelism

2. Talk Show

3. Southern Gauteng has got Talent Show

4. Games

Soccer, Volleyball, Aerobic, Hiking (walking up the mountain), Swimming, Treasure, Hunting, Boom Fire

We are confident God has laid a strong foundation for the region to flourish this year.

Merry Christmas!

Hello everyone,

Today we celebrate in the name of the ONE we all love and live for - Jesus Christ. Do not focus only on celebrations, gifts or family gatherings, we remember the birth of Christ (God's own Son). He came to earth, lived and walked amongst us so that God's will would be finished through his sacrificial death and resurection.

Let us celebrate the birth of our Savior and Lord!

Have a blessed celebration your BCYD

World Aids Day

“Please don’t harm yourselves, we are all here, abstaining”

Today the world remembers those infected by the HIV/AIDS and also raises awareness globally about the deadly pandemic. As the BCYD we are not ignorant of the fact that HIV/AIDS is one of the major problems affecting our youth and has robbed many of their potential and future.

According to the UNAids, it is estimated that 5.7 million people in South Africa are living with HIV, these are shocking stats, but the main question remains, have we done or are we doing enough as the young people, the bible says we are the light of the world, and Jesus is the Light (John 1:7-8), in other words, we are reflecting & diffusing Jesus to this world through our actions daily.

Paul tells Timothy in 1 Timothy 4:12 that “Let no man despise you because you are young, but be an EXAMPLE to all believers, in word, conversation, charity, spirit, faith and lastly PURITY”.The world and governments can preach about abstainance, but it will mean nothing to people if there seems to be no living example of those who can abstain from sexual intercourse.

But we the BCYD, we are the relevant generation and instruments to proof to the world that it is possible to abstain from sexual intercourse before marriage, because it is not by power nor by might that we can abstain, but by the Spirit of the Lord.

We as the BCYD are the living proof that it is possible for a young person to live a pure life and like Paul & Silas, we are ready to shout to our fellow young people out there who believe that its impossible to abstain that “Don’t harm yourself , for we are all here, we are abstaining”. We did not run loose like other young people who are living in immorality, but we are all here, abstaining.

So let our lives speak to other young people, that “Please don’t harm yourselves”
