The 2024 Youth Advance was a four-day event at the end of the summer for believers ages 12 through 20s. It took place at a camp called New Life Island located on an island in the Delaware River and included meals and overnight housing. The focus was on 2 Corinthians 5:20: “Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ’s stead, be ye reconciled to God.” As believers, we are ambassadors for Christ, whether we feel like it or not, whether we act like it or not. We are what the Word of God says we are, so stand up and act like an ambassador. Nine different believers shared God’s Word including younger believers.

Before the teaching, Eliana Rosa performed her song, “Speak”, and Shannan Solazzo, Hannah Sarnak, and Dylan Dearman performed the song “Railway Cars”.
The teacher begins by reading the letter that was sent out to announce the camp. Then, he recaps the other teachings from throughout the weekend. We aren’t just messengers since we partake in the message that we hold forth. We are reminded that speaking in tongues is a great witness and that God works in you.

God gets things done by working in people, including us. This teaching emphasizes that being an ambassador is our job, so we should go and do it. Do the work with diligence; do it right and do it now. The teacher warns that there will always be a reason not to do the Word, but the reason will never be good enough. We are equipped so, when you see a need, run to take care of it. When God tells you to do something, run to do it. You will never regret doing the Word.
