It discusses how youth ministry began as a response to social issues young people faced like high mortality rates and alcoholism before the Great Awakening.

Modern youth ministry faces challenges from changes in families, schools, technology, and economic uncertainties.
History of youth work (2).pptx
Youth ministry has evolved over time in response to societal needs and Christian convictions. Before the 18th century, society struggled with issues like poverty, alcoholism, and child mortality. John Wesley helped spark moral and social reform through preaching. Sunday schools in the late 18th century addressed children's needs. Over time, youth clubs, scouting, and professional youth work developed to serve young people. Today, challenges include cuts to youth services, the rise of online culture, and supporting youth mental health.

EXPANDING THE LAND JUSTICE NETWORK
This document discusses expanding the land justice network among Christians globally to address issues related to land ownership and use. It provides background on land rights in Nigeria and challenges faced by minority Christian communities, especially in northern Nigeria. Key points include:
- Land rights in Nigeria are governed by both customary and statutory law, with the Land Use Act of 1978 vesting ownership of all land in each state with the governor as trustee.
- Minority Christian communities face difficulties acquiring land for churches, schools and other uses from traditional leaders in rural areas, who control land allocation and often refuse such requests.
- Rampant compulsory land acquisition by states and local governments under the guise of "overriding public purpose" also

WCIU Land Rights Introduction
The two-day Land Justice Network event will discuss theology of land rights and advocacy, historic issues of land dispossession, theology of creation care, land rights practices regarding eviction and tenure, local responses to land rights issues, land rights advocacy practices, disaster relief, and wider urban planning and environmental issues. The schedule provides details of presentations from various places including South Africa, Cameroon, the US, Sierra Leone, Nigeria. Presenters will share case studies and reflections. Participants will discuss the potential for a global land rights advocacy network. The event aims to equip participants to advocate for adequate housing, infrastructure, and address land injustice from practical and spiritual perspectives.
Legal Framework of Land ownership in Cameroon
In Cameroon, all land is considered national land and is governed by Ordinance No 74-1. National land can be classified for housing, farms, or plantations. The process to purchase land involves searching, investigating, negotiating price, surveying, signing a deed, and registering the land certificate. However, this system is prone to issues like price inflation, conflicts of interest, and long delays in obtaining certificates. To address these problems, the document recommends properly investigating land before purchase, avoiding prohibited areas, registering land after purchase, and seeking legal remedies for disputes. It also suggests churches could help vulnerable Christians purchase affordable land and mediate conflicts between buyers and sellers.

The Revelation Chapter 7 Working Copy.docx
John witnesses the sealing of God's 144,000 witnesses, and he hears the crying out or shouting of an unnumbered multitude of those who have been saved during the great tribulation.
This is an intermission scene before opening the seventh seal. We have seen six seals opened revealing of the events that would shortly occur. The first 4 reveal what was to occur in the great tribulation during the destruction of Jerusalem by the Romans in AD70.
The fifth seal reveals the question from those slain as to when the Lord would avenge their death. The sixth seal reveals the answer to them from the One on the throne and of the Lamb which would be the punishment of their persecutors and accomplices. John sees four messengers/angels holding back the four winds of the earth & keeping them from blowing on the earth, the sea or any tree. In this figurative language, these are not heavenly messengers/angels. These represent those who are trying to restrain the word of God everywhere. Their efforts are restrained by the messenger in verse 2, preventing them from holding back the 4 winds, the spread of the gospel of Christ by His messengers/angels. These 4 winds stand on the four corners of the earth, Rome’s worldwide influence to stop its spread. But the gospel will be preached in all the earth. See the study for the Bible passages that support this. John hears the commands given relating to the sealing of the servants of God and the figurative number representing them. John sees a great multitude standing before the throne of all nations and kindreds and people and tongues who are clothed with white robes. All the messengers/angels stood around the throne and the elders and the four beasts fell before the throne and worshipped God. One of the elders asks John what those were that were wearing white robes. John said he knew and the elder identifies them. The chapter ends with his explanation.

Number of petals: 4 Location: Base of the spine Name: Foundation
Plane: Physical plane Sense Organ: Nose Work Organ: Anus Sense: Smell Element: Earth Shape: Square Sound: Lang
Muladhara is the root centre of physical experience, located at the base of the spine, the sacral plexus. The square represents the earth itself, the four dimensions and the four directions. Four allows for completion, and earth embodies the elements and conditions for human completion on all levels.
Muladhara Chakra is the meeting place of the three main nadis: Ida, Pingala and Sushumna. The downward-pointing triangle indicates the downward movement of energy and the three main nadis.
The seed mantra is Lam, the yellow square represents the earth element. The Muladhara chakra governs the vital breath Apana. An inverted triangle in the centre of the square encloses the unmanifest Kundalini, represented as a snake wrapped in three and a half coils around the svayambhu (self born) linga. Because her mouth faces downward, the flow of energy is downward.
The opening at the entrance of the sushumna is called brahma-dvara, the door of Brahma, which is closed by the coils of the sleeping Kundalini. As soon as one begins working with Muladhara chakra, this dormant energy awakens, raises its head and flows freely into the channel of Sushumna, the central nerve canal that runs along the spine. These two aspects of the kundalini: sleeping and waking, are identified as her “poison” and her “nectar.” The kundalini is poison when she remains asleep in the lower abdomen; she is nectar when she rises up through Sushumna, the medial channel, to reunite with Siva, the Absolute, in the yogin’s cranial vault.
In the pericarp is found the presiding deity Brahma, the lord of creation. His skin is the color of wheat, he wears a yellow dhoti and a green scarf. Brahma is four-faced, four-armed, holding in his upper left hand a lotus flower, the symbol of purity.
Astronism, Cosmism and Cosmodeism: the space religions espousing the doctrine...
This lecture created by Brandon Taylorian (aka Cometan) specially for the CESNUR Conference held Bordeaux in June 2024 provides a brief introduction to the legacy of religious and philosophical thought that Astronism emerges from, namely the discourse on transcension started assuredly by the Cosmists in Russia in the mid-to-late nineteenth century and then carried on and developed by Mordecai Nessyahu in Cosmodeism in the twentieth century. Cometan also then provides some detail on his story in founding Astronism in the early twenty-first century from 2013 along with details on the central Astronist doctrine of transcension. Finally, the lecture concludes with some contributions made by space religions and space philosophy and their influences on various cultural facets in art, literature and film.
The Significance of the Locust Army in Revelation 9
The Book of Revelation, filled with symbolic and apocalyptic imagery, presents one of its most striking visions in Revelation 9:3-12—the locust army. Understanding the significance of this locust army provides insight into the broader themes of divine judgment, protection, and the ultimate triumph of God’s will as depicted in Revelation.

OM Meditation - ultimate meditation technique
PHASE-IV
The very deep experience of silence helps to expand from the 3 - dimensional awareness of the body to all pervasive awareness. The bed of silence becomes deeper and more expansive - an ocean of silence with waves on it merge into complete silence called Ajapa state of the mind. This silence is the source of Creativity, Power, Knowledge and Bliss.
PHASE V
From this deep ocean of silence in the heart region, let one OM emerge as an audible sound which diffuses into the entire body and the space all around. Enjoy the beautiful vibrations.
Blink the eyes slowly, gently open the eyes and come out of meditation.
He Dies Slowly Slideshow by: Kal-el Marcus
Don't let yourself die slowly!
Don't keep yourself from being happy!
-- Pablo Neruda
