This isn't just another event; it's a journey designed to equip you, inspire you, and connect you with a community that's also seeking to understand their unique purpose.

This conference is your opportunity to pause, reflect, and get clear on your next steps towards fulfilling your God-given potential. It's time to stop just dreaming about your purpose and start living it. We're talking about discovering those God-given talents and how to use them for something bigger than yourself. It’s about answering that call with courage and confidence, knowing you're not alone on this journey.

Unpacking Your Unique Gifts and Talents

So, what exactly is this 'higher calling' we keep talking about, anyway? It’s not just about finding a job or a career; it’s about discovering the unique blueprint God has etched into your very being. The iYouth Higher Calling Conference is designed to help you unpack those unique gifts and talents that make you, you. Think about it – what makes your heart beat faster? What problems do you naturally want to solve? What activities make you lose track of time? These aren't random occurrences; they are clues! We believe that God equips each of us with specific abilities, passions, and perspectives for a reason. During the conference, we’ll explore practical ways to identify these gifts, moving beyond just a superficial understanding to a deeper, spiritual revelation. You’ll get hands-on with activities and discussions that encourage self-reflection and discovery. We want you to leave feeling confident in who God made you to be and what He’s called you to do. It's a journey of self-discovery, yes, but more importantly, it's a journey of discovering God's design for your life. We'll break down the idea that a calling is only for pastors or missionaries; nope, it applies to everyone in every field and walk of life! Whether you're dreaming of being an artist, an entrepreneur, a scientist, a teacher, or anything else, there's a divine purpose woven into it. Get ready to explore the incredible tapestry of your potential and learn how to weave it into the grand narrative of God's kingdom. This segment is all about empowerment, helping you see yourself through God’s eyes and recognize the immense value you bring to the world.

From Discovery to Action: Stepping Out in Faith

Discovering your gifts is just the first, super exciting step, right? The real magic happens when we take those discoveries and turn them into action, stepping out in faith! The iYouth Higher Calling Conference is all about bridging that gap. It’s one thing to know you’re good at something, but it’s a whole other ballgame to actually do something with it, especially when it feels bigger than you. We’re going to equip you with the tools and the courage to move from 'I think I can' to 'I will'. This means tackling those initial fears and doubts that try to hold us back. You’ll learn practical strategies for setting goals, overcoming obstacles, and persevering when things get tough. We believe that faith isn't just about believing; it's about doing. It’s about taking that first step, even when you can't see the whole staircase. We'll explore biblical principles of obedience, stewardship, and courage, showing you how they apply directly to your journey of fulfilling your calling. You'll hear testimonies from young people who have dared to step out, taking risks for the sake of their calling, and seen God move in incredible ways. Get ready to be inspired to move beyond the comfort zone and embrace the adventure that awaits. This is where your purpose starts to take shape, where your faith is tested and strengthened, and where you begin to see the tangible impact you can make. It’s about transforming potential into reality and allowing God to use your actions to bring about His purposes on earth. We want you to leave not just inspired, but equipped and ready to take that leap of faith, knowing that God is with you every step of the way.
