West Rand District
The West Rand District's Youth gathered early in the morning of 16 June 2007 on Priest Wilmer's small holding for a day of fun-filled activity. The Youth were separated into groups of 6 members each to compete with one another in various events. In one event the Youth had to demonstrate their skills by building a table with thin wooden planks, nails and a hammer with the requirement that the table should be able to carry a brick for 3 counts. Towards late afternoon, the District Elder Louis Brandt made a fire for a braai. Everyone enjoyed the day tremendously and the fellowship strengthened the bond between God's children.

Johannesburg South District
On 8 July 2007 Apostle Dimba held a combined Youth service for the Johannesburg South Bishop Area wherein the new Youth were welcomed. A choir from each of the five districts sang an anthem during the service. After the service the choir who sang the best was awarded a prize. Everyone enjoyed a light meal and fellowship after the service.

Durban Central District
On 16 June 2007, about 50 Youth from the Durban Central District visited the Sinethemba Children Centre, located in the heart of Durban’s CBD. The Youth entertained the 51 boys from the home by singing hymns, and they in turn responded by singing a few church hymns of their own. Bishop Naidoo then addressed all those present on leading a successful and God-centred life, and spoke to the Youth about the importance of offering. After they handed out some gifts to the home, the Youth gathered for fellowship in Sydenham and a discussion on thankfulness.

New Youth Welcomed - Bishop Kieswetter
On Sunday, 17 June 2007, Bishop Kieswetter conducted a Youth service where the new Youth of his area were welcomed. The service was somewhat unusual, as the Youth were invited to discuss the text word amongst themselves for about 20 minutes and answer the question: "What does the text word mean to me?" After feedback on the discussions was given, the divine service commenced in the usual format. The Youth gave positive feedback on being able to the discuss the text word among themselves, and felt it served as a very interesting preparation for the divine service that followed.

New Youth Welcomed - Bishop Joubert
On 18 May 2007, all the newly confirmed Youth of Bishop Jerry Joubert’s area got together for an evening of fun. The district leaders of the area, who were the hosts of the evening, facilitated various discussions and exercises which were aimed at answering the question: ‘Where are you going with your faith?’ To remember the fun evening, each Youth member received a little toy car similar to that in the program ‘Going Nowhere Slowly’, but to remind them that they are going somewhere with their faith!
