We thank you for just the opportunity to come in your presence.

Father, each individual here represents a ministry, a ministry you have set in their hearts for such a long time, Father.

What they do, they're very passionate about, and it's their way of helping, sharing your love story.

Father, I ask that you will be with us today as we share and learn and just be creative and come up with unique ways and learn unique ways of how to connect with the generation to help them to love you more and and to also take a message of health and and you know helping people to make the positive change in their life that they need brings honor and glory to thee.

Father, I ask that you would be with my words, that it be your words and not my words.

Father, use me today to be that vessel, and Lord, most of all, let us have a great time praising you.

Because For those who don't know me, my name's Cassio Jones.

And I used to be, I guess, cloned as the Energizer Bunny.

And I'm a very energetic individual, so forgive me if I'm all over the place in this room and your eyes are bouncing back and forth, but hang in there, it all makes sense, it all comes together.

When we work with the youth, it's important that we're able to have ability to, you know, as I say, connect with them.

And as you know, you work with the youth, their energy is nonstop at times.

And fortunately, we like to keep up with them.

It's Sabbath hours, but we want to learn.

We want to fill ourselves with a whole lot of resources and have a good time.

We're kind of a small-knit family right now.

So you're gonna see each other for the next few days.

And if you get a chance to interact with 1 another, please do.

And any time if you have any questions, stick your hands up.

And I would like to just make it kind of like informal.

So the last thing we're going to talk about is how to make an impact.

And that's me right there, Cassia Johnson.

OK, this is going to be a rough crowd tonight.

By the way, if I say something that kind of like a just go with it, OK?

You know, Moses, God used Moses, and he had a speech issue.

So the Lord tried to use me as much as he can.

So just go with whatever comes out of my mouth, just try and nod your head and say, okay, I understand what you're trying to say, okay?

And you guys are allowed to laugh, you're allowed to smile, and have a good time.

So I apologize we're trying to get everything booted up here.

So, so, have any of you are involved in health ministry right now?

Okay, and the rest of you are, and how many of you are involved in youth ministry?

So we got health ministry and youth ministry.

Some youth ministry are not involved in health ministry, and some health ministry are not involved in youth ministry.

So we're trying to identify a way of connecting us together and connecting with the, we've all agreed there's a need for taking health to a younger generation, yes or no?

And we look at our statistics that are straight across the board.

And the younger generations are starting to see the effects of unhealthy lifestyle.

Obesity issues are just rampant in the United States.

Is it that way in other countries as well?

It changed obesity, starting to be at a younger age?

So we cannot sit back and just take a stand and have our blinders on to identify that there's a problem going on and not take action.

And I think it's very important for us to realize that we could do so much as an adult, But imagine what it would be like if we created an army of youth leaders, of a younger generation who comes behind us, who has information to witness to their peers.

That's very powerful coming from a peer than so much from an adult.

Because generations younger, I mean, the youth listen to their peers.

I mean, once you get to a certain age, and especially if you're the parent, there's like this blah, blah, blah, blah effect that they don't hear.

It's like they don't get it, or there's just a dissociation.

And I don't get that with every adult, because it's like it's just the parents.

Like, they don't listen, and they need certain role models in their lives.

And as you know, youth workers, you have that connection with the kids.

So they do listen, but the relationship with their peers can be very, very powerful.

So you imagine the ability to take that information, put it into a mind of a youth, and put that youth out there in their community.

How more powerful and aggressive that could be of spreading the message of, you know, taking care of God's temple or temple maintenance.

But we actually have a momentum change, not just in the church, but in the community around us.

And when you think about obesity, when you think about lifestyle choices, we know 70% to 80% of all chronic diseases are due to lifestyle choices.

And when you see younger kids who have hypertension at age 12, I mean, what's going on in their life that's causing that much destruction?

Their path, their next 20, 30 years won't happen in that current pattern.

So it's important to be able to connect and reach down with them and to see that.

Now imagine this army of youth health ministers.

Okay now anybody have an idea how to build an army like that?

Well, I mean, I mean think about are we here to just figure out a way to just tell the youth about health, or we're here to replicate that.

If you really think about it, the gospel message was to go out and make disciples.
