The event was held under the theme: 'Arise, Shine', and it was it was aimed at building the capacity of the participants, pray for their spiritual well-being and also pray for peace and stability of the nation.

Rev Opoku-Baffour, who is also the Head Pastor of the church, urged the youth not to rely on the government or political parties to provide them with jobs.
