"On 16th April 2025, I had the opportunity to teach a group of 47 enthusiastic youths who were eager to listen and engage with the message, 'A Person of Great Value.' This NLB lesson helped the youths understand their worth and view themselves positively as individuals created in the image of God. The teaching encouraged them to embrace their identity in Christ and reject the lies of worthlessness that often plague young people.
"When we were focusing on how deeply God loves us (John 3:16), one young man seemed to be disturbed in his mind, which prompted him to ask, 'Why do I get tempted yet I am a beloved child of God?' I responded to him and to the entire class by saying that temptation is from the devil and arises from the evil desires within mankind (James 1:14). Even as beloved children of God, we still face temptations, but we are not alone—God gives us strength to overcome.
"Another young man asked, 'How do I grow and maintain my new life in Christ?' I responded to this by saying that spiritual growth comes through consistent study of God’s Word, spending time in prayer, and actively sharing your faith with others.
"The session was impactful and well-received. The youth showed a genuine hunger for the Word of God. About half of them made a decision to follow Jesus and the baptisms are to be scheduled by the local coordinator, Mr. Godfrey, since we could not perform them on the day of the training.
"Thank you, NLBI family, for impacting and transforming lives."
