  • What is the theme of this year's GYC Africa Conference?

    ONE

    John 17:21 That they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me.

    “By the work of Christ these disciples had been led to feel their need of the Spirit; under the Spirit’s teaching they received their final preparation and went forth to their lifework.

    “No longer were they ignorant and uncultured. No longer were they a collection of independent units or of discordant and conflicting elements. No longer were their hopes set on worldly greatness. They were of “one accord,” of one mind and one soul. Christ filled their thoughts. The advancement of His kingdom was their aim. In mind and character they had become like their Master; and men “took knowledge of them, that they had been with Jesus.” Acts 4:13.  Ellen White, Education, p. 95
