SCOAN holds first youth convention in Lagos

About 3,000 youths drawn across different frontiers gathered together to participate in the inaugural Youth Convention at the Synagogue Church Of All Nations (SCOAN) headquarters in the Ikotun-Egbe area of Lagos State over the weekend.

The event held under the auspices of TB Joshua Foundation also drew various experts from different professions to educate and inspire the youths for laudable lifestyles and greater heights.

Declaring the convention open, SCOAN leader, Pastor Evelyn Joshua, described youths as future leaders, saying it’s too dangerous not to properly guide them in the right paths of life that would engender impactful and purposeful life in the society.

Pastor Evelyn enjoined the youths to open their hearts for the transformative and impactful benefits of the convention in the reshaping of their lives for impactful and enviable life in society.

Legacy of purpose, according to her, was an offshoot of the legacies of SCOAN’s founder, late Prophet TB Joshua to “ensure that the leaders of tomorrow are properly grounded in morals, social, educational, careers and skills acquisition, to guide, encourage and be empowered to be better focused in life”.

She also urged the youths to be closer to God and let His word be the standard of their lives.

The Director of TB Joshua Foundation, Sarah Joshua, said the Foundation was established not only to preserve the life and time of the late cleric but also to invigorate and rejuvenate his legacies for a better humanity.

She added that 30 youth participants at the convention would be given scholarships as well as in small and medium businesses to be empowered.

The Convention which featured music, dance, drama, and other captivating activities also featured an ex-cultist who shared the evils of wrong friendships, companionship, and associates that brought to the fore the illusions and delusions of over-ambition, fame, power, and living above people’s means and how God saved him for other youths to learn in earnest.

“Every youth in Nigeria needs to go to this convention. It’s educative and very inspiring,” one of the participants, Kolawole Shojonwo, said.
