No one comes to the Father except through Me. ” — John 14:6 As we begin this sacred countdown toward GO Month, this first day is not about activity—it is about alignment.

  The second edition of the Young Preachers’ Contest, organized by the children's ministry arm of the All Africa Baptist Fellowship, has come and gone, with Sunday David Oladipupo from Nigeria emerging as the continental champion. The contest started nearly one year ago with 32 contestants who applied from different countries. The jury members were carefully selected to reflect Africa, and they did thorough work from the first round to the final phase. The competition was conducted online through video submissions under a very strict code of conduct. The participants were required to showcase the name of their churches in every submission. They also preached in church settings, while most of the productions were produced by the media department of the churches. We deeply appreciate the strong commitment of our Baptist pastors in preparing the children for the contest.
