FAITH-FILLED young people took up the challenge to rise above the allure of secular culture and live for God at this year’s Ignite Conference.
The four-day conference invited almost 1000 young people to unpack “The Call” that God has for their lives.
The term “The Call” often implies a conversation about vocations and the main speakers raised the question of how a young person could change the world in small acts of love.
Keynote speakers were Emmanuel Worship leader Pat Keady, Rohan McGuiness, Fr Rob Galea, Emmanuel Worship singer Laura Otto, NET Ministries Ireland program co-ordinator Rebecca Crouch and Emmanuel Community’s new youth ministry co-ordinator Scotty McDonald.
They shared practical ways for young people to be under the influence of God in their parishes, youth groups, and schools.
After a 33-hour flight from Ireland, a “tired and emotional” Rebecca Crouch urged many young people seek the Holy Spirit.
“The Holy Spirit is not and never will be fluffy – Jesus is a caster of fire upon the earth,” she said.
Miss Crouch also reminded young people to be themselves, not a version of who they would like to be.
“What cause is inspiring your heart these days?” Miss Crouch said.
“Are you ready to be who you are?”
