General Overseer of Deeper Christian Life Ministry (DCLM), Pastor Dr. W. F. Kumuyi, has said the church will focus on programmes that will bring change and development to youths, stressing that DCLM is not, in any way, lowering its standards.

He stated this, yesterday, while speaking at the opening ceremony of the First Youth Global Convention, tagged: ‘IMPACT 2022’ at Deeper Life International Conference Centre (DLICC) in Lagos.

The five-day programme is for teenagers, campus students, corps members and young adults.

He said: “We want to let the young people know that what others have done at their age, they also can do. I want the youth to know that no matter what they have not done, they should take this week as a new beginning in their lives.”

He said: “People who say we are lowering standards do not know the people we are inviting. They judge them by the little they know. And some of them have not taken the effort to go to the web to check their profile and know who they are. May be, they just saw the picture and said this is not my kind of person and said we are lowering standards. We will love these people to come here and see for themselves.”

Council Chairman of Chrisland University, Prof. Ayodeji Olukoju, said stakeholders in religious and social circles should brace up for the challenge of the moment.

He said: “Sadly, many of them have fallen under the spell of social media influencers, who are not always good role models. That is where this timely intervention, the five-day programme, represents a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to engage the youth.

Nice 1, by the grace of GOD, i was privilege to be at the IMPACT 2022, where a lot of ideas about personal branding and a lot more was being disbursed at the programme, if you are not there you are missing a lot. It's going to be a wonderful insight for everyone. Be there.....

Every focus this year should be centered on our youths please. The things I read,hear and see is sickening with many scaring stories flying up and down. I don't even know which one is better stay on your own and die a loner or associate with people and get killed...omo God will help us

Don't mind them sir. I like the fact that you're trying to get it right, or even If in the process you make a few mistakes, it's understandable.

If most church leaders could do likewise, and not just say what the people want to hear, the moral standard of the church, and by extension, the nation, would be significantly higher.

By the way, I'm not a member of Deeper Life and I don't think I have ever attended their church service since I was born, so people here don't get it twisted.

I just want the church to get it right.

God bless.
