We are a youth group of Christ Faith Tabernacle under the leadership of our father in the lord: Apostle ATB Williams. Our youth group meetings/name is: CATCH THEM YOUNG.
During the summer of 2006, end of July to be precise, a revival broke out in our church and the youth were saved! (Give glory to God). We were filled with the Holy Spirit and saw the wonders of God we have never experienced before in our lives. Lives were transformed, it was something that none of us will ever forget and we give GOD ALL THE GLORY!!
It all started in one of our brother’s houses (Brother Sama), were a group of boys (Brother Sama, Sengova, Maada, Cephas & Samuel) were stirred up with Holy Jealously with one of the other Sisters (Sis Christle) who had a vision of the coming of Christ and also desired to be used greatly by God like our Spiritual Father: Apostle ATB Williams. They followed the advice given by Apostle which was to cry out to God, seek him and pray every 3hours (hours of prayer). They did this and God showed up through the laying of the hands upon Brp Cephas, whom he spoke through, and told each one of them about their lives. After this they invited more of their friends to join them in prayer.
It became so big that it was moved into the church with more youth getting involved crying out to God, surrending all unto him, and ending up experiencing God’s power. The Holy Spirit was manifested in us, with many of us speaking in tongues (youngest age 6 YEARS OLD) We witness the casting out of devils/demons, youths prophesying, visions being seen, revelations given unto us etc. it was just really and truly REMARKABLE. God did more then we expected and exceeding our every thought or desire. Spiritual gifts were dispersed upon us and many youth manifested in them. God being to reveal unto people their calling and ministry. BUT We did not keep this glory of God to ourselves but we went out and evanglise and brought unbelievers to Christ and transformed their lives too. We did this for the majority of the summer holidays, attending the temple of God daily, praying at all hours (finished a prayer meeting at 6am!) growing in the lord and gaining insight into the word of God, studying the word in fellowship etc. We give God praise, glory and honour!
We have grown mightily in number and are exceeding too. With youth from other churches also joining this powerful movement, we are sure that the will of God for the youth of London will be fulfilled. 2007 has been declared “The Great Revival of Great Britainâ€, and we believe the youth of Great Britain will be changed renovated, and our God will show what a true, faithful God he is and fulfil this scripture: Exodus 34:10 – “Then the LORD said: "I am making a covenant with you. Before all your people I will do wonders never before done in any nation in all the world. The people you live among will see how awesome is the work that I, the LORD, will do for you.
From God, he has given unto us 3 slogans:
1)A Revival Ain’t Revival, If The People In The Revival Aren’t Revived…
2)As A Team We Will Rise, And As A Team We Fall…
3)Individually We Are Strong, But As A Team We Are Stronger…
We now have youth meetings 1st Saturday of every month and everyone is welcomed. We pray that God will stretch forth his hand upon your life and you will experience things greater than what you have read and you will be a vessel for the lord in your life and be a blessing upon people’s lives. That you will carry out the revival of the youth into your own church and across the whole of UK. In Jesus Name. Amen!
God Bless You Brothers and Sisters! Stay Faithful!

Vision of 2008
Judges 13:2-5 2 A certain man of Zorah, named Manoah, from the clan of the Danites, had a wife who was sterile and remained childless. 3 The angel of the LORD appeared to her and said, "You are sterile and childless, but you are going to conceive and have a son. 4 Now see to it that you drink no wine or other fermented drink and that you do not eat anything unclean, 5 because you will conceive and give birth to a son. No razor may be used on his head, because the boy is to be a Nazirite, set apart to God from birth, and he will begin the deliverance of Israel from the hands of the Philistines."
Everytime a nation turns away from God, God raises a youth as their saviour! We are the last hope for the Generation of Great Britain today. In 2008, we plan to extend our Christian love to the society with practical projects.
Activities such as visiting the Hospitals, caring for those who have no-one to love/care for them, preach the Gospel to them and pray with them. We feel this is one of the best ways to show the power of God and also the Love, through this we believe a lot of souls will be added to the Kingdom plus miracles, signs and wonders will be evident that our God is a living God! (Ex 34:10). However, our first event will be going to Brunel in January for a youth meeting.
Another thing was going to the Prisons, the Government has turned to the Churches for help on how to help the young people of today. Prisons are full, and crimes are getting worse, we can all say 2007 has been a year where it has shocked us with the deaths of so many males due to stabbing and guns. It has come to a stage the Government needs help and feels the church is the answer (and they are dearly right! For once lol). So, we aim to be attending Prisons to help these young people and show them the way, the truth and the life! Either we believe it or not, these are part of the society of tomorrow, and with young people who plan to have big companies etc, we all going to have a shortage of qualified efficient people to help make these dreams possible, if they are all dropouts with no education, illiterate etc. So, this is very essential we do this! Not only for our own needs BUT for the GLORY OF THE MOST HIGH!
We plan to make to do some events in the community to reach out to the youth, engage with them and bring them to Christ. Things such as Sports day, Youth meetings etc will be the catalyst behind these plans. More info on this will be given when these plans become clearer and final.
In addition, we should be having our Programmes advertise on Wonderful TV and INI on SKY TV. Also, we plan to have a “Youth Talk Show†where we will voice our opinions on issues of today, share our personal testimonies etc.
We pray all of these things will come to pass in the name of Jesus, and also plead with you to pray for us also and we enter this year 2008 with this vision.
Leave you with this: Phillipians 2:4 - Each of you should look not only to your own interests, but also to the interests of others.
God Bless You
