SUNNYVALE, CA — With over 150 young believers gathering from across the United States, the Youth Conference 2025, themed “Reignite,” ignited a spiritual awakening among the fourth watchers on July 8–9, 2025, at the Domain Hotel in Sunnyvale, California. Anchored on 2 Timothy 1:6, the two-day conference was a powerful reminder for the youth to “fan into flame the gift of God,” fostering revival, unity, and dedication to the apostolic calling.
Led by the United States District Coordinator, Presbyter Marites Ferriol, and joined by Presbyter Erwin Dela Cruz, numerous pastors, ministers, and Apostle Jonathan S. Ferriol, the conference overflowed with divine empowerment through Word, worship, workshops, and outreach.
DAY ONE: Igniting the Flame
The opening day began in reverence as Ptr. Evenicer Macatol led the early morning devotion, emphasizing prayer as the heartbeat of the End-Time Church. The morning devotion established a strong spiritual atmosphere, preparing hearts for the day’s sessions.
A series of life-changing seminars followed, each crafted to equip the youth with apostolic principles for ministry and service:
-
“Capturing the Apostolic Vision” – Bro. Raniel Mendoza
-
“Strengthening Our Testimony for Evangelism” – Ptr. Neil Robeniol
-
“Fanning into Flame Our Spiritual Gifts” – Ptr. Charles Co (with Firebrands)
-
“The Synergy of Global Evangelism & Faithful Stewardship” – Ptr. Madeline Macatol (with Apostolic Ambassadors)
The afternoon fostered apostolic unity through team-building activities, where Firebrands and Apostolic Ambassadors—strategically grouped by locale, subdistrict, and state—collaborated in relay games that bonded hearts with joy and laughter.
To further discover and sharpen God-given gifts, the youth engaged in specialized workshops:
-
Praise and Worship – Ptr. Kenneth Ines & Sis. Dona Gonzales
-
Dance – Sis. Miracle Ferriol & Saved by Grace Dance Team
-
Media – Surerword with Bro. PJ Sico & Bro. Jonard Tacbad
The evening concluded with uplifting performances and testimonies from the Northeast, Florida, and Hawaii, followed by a powerful message from Apostle Jonathan S. Ferriol, who exhorted the youth to embrace God’s grace and their unique apostolic calling.
DAY TWO: Fanning the Fire for Greater Works
The second day commenced in unified prayer, with Ptr. Marizon Mantillas exhorting the youth to approach the throne of grace boldly. The young attendees prayed for one another in groups of four, symbolizing the strength and solidarity of the apostolic generation.
Seminars during the day addressed both personal spiritual growth and relevant societal challenges:
-
“Rekindling our Spiritual Gifts for Church Growth” – Presbyter Erwin Dela Cruz
-
“Overcoming Social Issues with an Apostolic Mindset” – Ptr. Larry Nisperos
The Youth Fellowship Hour turned into a moment of missional zeal. After learning a flash mob routine led by the Saved by Grace Dance Team, the youth took the message to San Pedro Market Place, where the dance and mascot duo—Berry and Teddy—drew the crowd’s attention, creating an avenue for evangelism and promotion of the first Home Free Crusade in the Bay Area.
Culmination in Dedication
The conference reached its spiritual peak during the Dedication Service, led in worship by the Maranatha Bible Students of North America. Inspiring testimonies from future AMPs and newly enrolled Bible students affirmed the ongoing call of God to the youth.
Presbyter Marites Ferriol preached a rousing message, reminding the young people that God calls even the youth for great exploits. The anointed words of Apostle Jonathan S. Ferriol followed, declaring that “God is committed to you,” leading to a powerful outpouring in prayer. With heartfelt dedication, every youth was personally prayed over by presbyters and pastors, sealing their commitment to Apostolic service.
A Flame That Will Not Be Quenched
The Youth Conference 2025 “Reignite” has sparked more than just a moment—it has ushered in a season of revival for the young generation of fourth watchers. As they return to their local churches, they carry a renewed zeal, ready to pursue greater Apostolic works in these End Times.
To God alone be all the glory.
