Motto
The Youth Association has three mottos: Worship, Study and Service. Perhaps the first and most important motto is worship. The members come together and worship our God, Jesus Christ, singing and praying for all His blessings. The second motto is studying the Holy Bible, Holy faith and beliefs. The movement urges the members to read and study Bible while excelling in their academic activities. The third motto of Youth Association is to provide service by spreading the Gospel and helping the poor and the needy.
