Jubilee Week 2024

We are pleased to announce that registrations are now open and we warmly invite tertiary-aged students and young people to attend the Jubilee week. The Jubilee week is a precious opportunity to have a taste of the Full-Time Training. During this week, you will join the trainees’ regular schedule of classes and activities as well as having special activities and meetings. If you are a seeking Christian and desire to be trained by the Lord, the Jubilee week will be very profitable for you. For many young people, the Jubilee week has been the most outstanding event in their lives.

Young people who attended the Jubilee previously have made the following comments:

“I felt like I really experienced what it was like to rest in the Lord; everything was taken care of, I didn’t have to worry about anything … all I had to do was just enjoy. ”

 “It helped me to be recovered back to Christ from the world and fully enjoy Him”

 “Refreshed my inner being and recalibrated me in many ways. This year had subconsciously weighed me down in all sorts of bondages. But the Jubilee week reminded me that I have
the reality of the Jubilee in me!”
