Missouri Valley held a Thanksgiving Young Generation Retreat for young people from November 24th to 25th. This retreat was exclusively for young people, and a total of 18 young adults attended to study John 3:16.

On the first day, following the greeting time, they studied John 3:16 in three groups. After dinner, they wrote their testimonies and had a praise and worship time. The next morning, they shared their testimonies and listened to a message based on John 3:16. The attendees were mainly second-generation and one-to-one Bible students, from high school students to those under 30. Among them, group Bible leaders, sing-along leaders, and messengers were appointed, and they performed their mission with their hearts. It was the first retreat only for young people in the Missouri Valley, and God blessed it. One of the attendees said it was amazing that they could talk for an hour and a half with just one verse, John 3:16, while another expressed regret that two days and one night were too short.

This retreat was held in a beautiful environment provided by missionary Abraham P.'s family, who are currently living there but are praying that it will be used as a retreat center in the future. May God continue to bless our ministry for the young generation, and may they be one-to-one Bible teachers and shepherds for campus ministry and missionaries for the world's mission.
