The convergence of hundreds of student youths occupied a large part of the field. The participants raised their hands and danced with the music of the bands on stage. The young performers and speakers namely: H20, HSH Worship Team, Christ鈥檚 Awakened Soldiers, Challenged, Circulo Balaan, Seeds of Faith, Upstream and CEW Highlights – all excellently rendered songs and shared the word of God that inspired the youth to acknowledge Jesus Christ as their Lord and Saviour.
