EJV YOUTH DAY 2025: MY HIGHLIGHTS
Note, 17 April 2026

This is me at the Youth Day!
My highlight: preaching at the Youth Day
One of my absolute highlights has to be speaking in front of such a wonderfully large group of young people, all full of passion, on fire for what Jesus is doing in their lives. I had the privilege of talking about the annual theme: All Out 100%. Together, we looked at:
Why we would want to commit ourselves all out 100% to Jesus, and spoiler alert: this is indeed a really good idea! You can actually have a particularly big impact on the people around you.
Next, we looked at what it means to go All Out 100% for Jesus. What does that actually entail? And what does that look like concretely in our daily lives? We looked at various examples from the Bible and how we can apply them to our own lives. We learned that the habits we develop in our daily lives have a major influence on how we can go all out 100% for Jesus. And that although it isn’t always simple, those habits can help us get closer to Him.
Finally, we took a super practical look at how we can go all out 100% for Jesus in our daily lives. We talked about the importance of prayer, Bible study, and surrounding yourself with friends who can support and encourage you in all aspects of life, both good and bad.
Behind the scenes
I really enjoyed helping out behind the scenes myself with all the organization and setup of the day. It was amazing to see how everyone worked together to make it an unforgettable experience for all the young people who were present. So thank you to everyone who contributed to this fantastic day.
Let us all continue to strive for a life that is All Out 100% for Jesus, and let’s keep encouraging each other on this journey.
