Over 15,000 students have resolved to live a Christ-centered life by staying away from social vices, including drugs, alcohol and premarital sex.

This was during a youth envangelism campaign dubbed “Youth Fire Conference 2025”.

Organised by World Conquest for Jesus (WCFJ) in partnership with Scripture Union Ghana, the five-day evangelism outreach, held in the Central Region, was aimed at reaching young people with the gospel while promoting a lifestyle of holiness and righteousness.

The conference, which took place at the Winneba Senior High School (SHS) park and involved students from over 60 schools, including Swedru SHS and the University of Education, Winneba, was designed to address critical moral challenges facing the youth.

Counselling

Thousands of the students who participated in the event benefited from counselling and teaching sessions during the five days programme led by Bishop Robinson and Dr Elizabeth Fondong, the founders of WCFJ, headquartered in the US.

Describing the participation as “overwhelming,” Bishop Robinson said at the end of the crusade that, “we have seen thousands of students eagerly responding to the invitation to walk more intimately and blamelessly before the Lord.”

“This has been nothing short of a moral revolution for the youth of Ghana, and by extension, the nation as a whole,” he stressed, indicating that Ghana’s youth were the future leaders and a beacon of light for their generation.

Gospel

WCFJ, a non-denominational movement, committed to spreading the gospel worldwide, is dedicated to reaching one billion souls through evangelism, church planting and missionary sponsorship.

Encouraged by the immense impact of the Youth Fire Conference, WCFJ announced plans to continue its outreach efforts globally.

Ethiopia was named as the next destination for the movement but the organisers have also committed to returning to Ghana in October to build on the momentum of the transformative event.

“The harvest is truly plentiful among the youth of Ghana,” said Bishop Robinson, adding that “as the doors of Ghana have now swung wide open, we are taking full advantage of this opportunity to bring young people back to the light of Jesus.”
