I felt compelled by the Holyspirit to write everyone this letter. its approximately 6 days we finish the Youth sunday. I felt so tired that i had to go on leave for two days and put everything behind me. I thank God that the program was a success, it wont have happened if not for the joint effort of everybody at Integrity youth club.considering the preparations, the coordination, the administration, We did’nt do too bad for a beginning.I particularly think we are getting to know each others strengths and weaknesses and building up a team of young people with integrity. I look forward to more programmes like this

I won’t go further without recognising everybody who’s effort has impressed me a lot;

1.For Jeff, your maturity is too much for me as i can’t stop learning much more and more from you.” I know the lord” is a hit track( permit me to say that), the youth talk was also compelling.

2.Jumoke Hamzat, the best secretary the youth team has. I just can’t praise your versatility enough. Even when the president forgets so much, your ability to remember saves the day, i must say that i covet that voice of yours ( Naughty of me, isnt it?lol)

3.Dammy Matte- U were great during the dance presentation.your presence in the team has brought a flow of energy.

4.Dare- Tell me about those base guitar and keyboard licks…we can always rely on God by your side.

5.The two Bayo’s- You are simply da bomb.please dont relent on your effort to be better than what you are. God loves you.

6.Olamide- your dance moves stir a lot of excitement in the crowd.

7.Tunde – Thanks a lot for teaching us the dance. That “afrobeat” song was exciting.

8. Sade – Thanks for the food ( alongside Jumoke), what a canal way to end a day of spiritual significance. we were great.

9.Laolu- I personally think your personality commands a lot of respect.

10.Dayo-You are a member of a vital force in the development system, God bless you abundantly

11.Bro Kola- You are God’s ambassador, I wish to c more of you in drama

12.cilia- You did what u are able to do in a proper way.God is your strength

13.Jumoke sapara- You were flawless doing the ushering. I could see you doing your job when i was on the podium

14.Wumi Adefioye- God is your strength, he understands how much u struggling hard to make it up for the forum. God bless you abundantly

I particularly love the month of December, it helps me evaluate where i am coming from, where i am, and where i am going.Have u ever take planning a whole year into consideration?. One of my vision for 2005 is to start a degree in IT and computing, which i achieved. Others are strengthing my relationship with God( Hence the birth of Integrity youth club),Increasing my involvement in the world of ICT and youth development. One of the things i have failed to achieve this year is “gaining more weight”( weird is’nt?) and travelling to south Africa( i wanted to meet Nelson Madiba Mandela, dont ask me how!) Making resolutions, mapping out plans and looking forward to the year ahead is an inteeligent way of architecting the future. what did u intend doing successfully this year?, did u meet up with target?, what did u achieve?. Achieving plans require setting goals, making decisions, building up self esteem and taking action. Why dont you go back to the drawing board, as the year rolls to an end, evaluate yourself, and make new plans for the coming year.

If u have the will, then yo’ve got the way. God bless you all.

N.B Look forward to the youth website( I am still constructing it) at www.integrityouthteam.8m.net

I woke up so late this morning  and i just couldnt help but rush to church. Today is the d-day for the youth sunday. The program started with the praise and worship and Tunde and Sade were at their best doing what they know to do. Jeff was incredible as well, The MC thing was good. The invitees dance was cool as well, as they, in their mastery captivated the audience. The music presentation ’I know the lord” and “praise him while u can” wasnt too bad for a starter. “Wacked” up in our Integrity club customised T-shirt, with blue jeans and white trainers to match. The integrity dance was a hit presentation. Dayo was amazing, both bayo’s were incredile, Olamide was da bomb, Dare was a cool gentleman. i cant forget the efforts of Bayo, laolu, and sade. The posing part of the dance was really cool.

I felt a bit nervous mounting the stage to preach, not because of the people, but because of my flesh. i just dont want to do anything according to my flesh. To the glory of God, it was a very good one. Pastor wale Hamzat also prayed for the youths and it was a glorious day. The food was nice, thanks to Jumoke, shade and everybody at the welfare team. Kudo’s to people who waited behind to make sure the auditorium looks nice as it was before the programme.

Its not too long since I, alongside Dayo, Jumoke, Laolu, Dami, e.t.c started the youth forum at Pathfinder Parish of the RCCG in Manchester. We’ve barely started three months ago and we are moving forward at an incredible speed. More young people are getting involved. The main aim of the forum, to help young people discover their purpose as special people in Christendom.

With couple of stage performances like ” where are you going”, a song drama performed by Me, Dapo and Jumoke and directed by Laolu, to our debut Hit “He loves me” remix, we are not doing too bad. With the Upcoming youth sunday, which i dare to dream, We are at it again to show how far we’ve gone in developing ourselves intellectually, morally and spiritually as a youth group. I just can’t finish this up without giving kudos to people who deserves it.

My pastor, Wale Hamzat, A great preacher of the word, Jeff- Another musical icon at pathfinder, Dayo- Always reasonable, Laolu- A young chap with a great personality, Dare- I can’t forget those guitar and keyboard licks, Dapo- We are always arguing, Jumoke- What will i do at the youth forum without you( With that versatility u’ve got)She is worthy of emulation, Bayo- Both of ‘em are cool young men, Dickson- Gentle but ongoing, Dammy- Her presence is enough encouragement, All others that i forgot to mention. you are all heirs of the fatherCant wait to see u guys perform on sunday
