Your troops will be willing on your day of battle. Arrayed in holy majesty, from the womb of the dawn you will receive the dew of your youth (Psalms 110:3).

On May 5th, Gods youth like dew, who will fulfill the prophecy of the Bible in the last days, attended the Vision 2006 National Youth Evangelism Rally. This Rally was held at the Elohim Training Institute to present the vision of the gospel to youths and to confirm their resolution for preaching.

With a slogan, O Youths! Lets Establish the Eternal Kingdom of God! this event contained the meaning that youth who are willing on Gods day will arise and preach the gospel throughout the whole world to fulfill the prophecy of Daniel that the eternal kingdom of God, represented as the rock that struck the statue, will be established on the whole world (Daniel 2:31-35, 44).

The stands were solidly filled with over 5,000 members including 3,300 youth members, assistants in charge of the youths and pastors. The youths consist of workers, university students and soldiers. They were more excited than children on the Children's Day to attend an event for youths which hadn't been held for a long time.

Before the event began, little performances were done under the name Vision 2006! The youth members gathered in front of a panel on which six boxes were drawn and a phrase, Yes! I've made up my mind! was written. The six boxes were for six continents. Each of youth members puts a blue sticker on the box for the continent that they want to go. And they wrote what they want to ask Father and Mother for their preaching, on two big ad balloons. The ad balloons were soon filled with pure hopes of the youth members.

At about 1p.m., the worship service began. Mother emphasized that God chooses and calls prophets when there are missions to be done by them, and that abilities and blessings are given to those who respond to Gods calling. Mother also told the youth members to be the leaders who shine the light of truth and to be the spiritual fishermen who catch all peoples in the sea of the world by blowing the trumpets of the gospel loudly.

Chief Pastor Joo-Cheol Kim testified that even though the kingdom of the gospel of the new covenant, which was established on the earth by Jesus, was ruined as Satan perverted the truth, Christ Ahnsahnghong came to the country at the ends of the earth in the east and rebuilt this kingdom of the gospel. He said, The people of heaven whose citizenship is in heaven, especially the youth like dew, are to shine the light of the gospel towards the world in order to restore the ruined kingdom of the gospel, and showed his hope that this event could make the youth members have a great ambition for the world evangelism with a new resolution.

The second half of the event began with an energetic praise of the Youth Choir. Each representative from each group-a group of youth workers, a group of university students and a group of soldiers-read a written resolution. All the youth attendants resolved to establish the eternal kingdom of God with indomitable spirits in their given circumstances-youth workers at workplaces, university students at universities and soldiers in their army bases-and they sang a new song, Heavens Will, with a firm will to follow the will of God.

Next, the performance Vision 2006! which was prepared before the event began was held. The balloons, on which the hopes of the youth members were written, flew up into the sky with Mothers shout, Youths! Lets go out to the world to find our lost heavenly family members in the holy name of Father. One, two, three! When the balloons began to fly up, countless pieces of colorful paper decorated the blue sky with the firecrackers.

35 members from the USA, Canada and New Zealand who were visiting Korea gave glory to God with a special praise.

Then a conte was staged, titled Until the Kingdom of the Gospel of God Is Established. The conte expressed well the difficulties which the youth workers, university students and soldiers face while preaching the gospel, so it earned the great sympathy of the youth members. It also showed the solution how to have a good result in the overseas evangelism.

Feeling sympathy, the youth members responded with claps. They were sometimes moved to tears and sometimes laughed while watching the conte. The conte gave a teaching that in order to participate in the overseas preaching and establish the kingdom of God all over the world, the youth members should do their best to preach the gospel in the places where they are, rather than worrying all the time, How can I take part in the overseas evangelism?

The youth members gained confidence in their gospel work through the conte, and inspired their spirit of faith through a video titled: Youths! Be the Apostle Paul of This Age!

The video which showed the life of Apostle Paul was enough to give a great teaching to the youth. Apostle Paul preached Christ as soon as he realized Him. Because he never forgot his mission to preach to the Gentiles, he did not fear the persecutions from the enemies and his new life in foreign countries. Preaching was everything in his life, and he had a spirit to carry out the will of Christ, following His example. The youth members resolved to succeed the spirit of Apostle Paul and spread the love of Father and Mother, so that they can establish the kingdom of God throughout the whole world.

Giving thanks to Father for protecting the attendants from the heat with clouds and cool wind, Mother encouraged the youth members, saying, Youths like dew, take the lead in establishing the eternal kingdom of God, doing what is truly worthy and valuable, that is, following in the footsteps of Father.

We desire to establish the kingdom of God in the army bases! We have realized that we have a mission to establish the kingdom of God in our workplaces! We will establish the kingdom of God in our schools.

Each member has each different circumstance and surroundings. But they all shouted aloud with one mind, We will establish the eternal kingdom of God. The glorious day will come soon that the youth members who have pure hearts and bright smiles will arise with aspiration and establish the eternal kingdom of God in the whole world.
