It was indeed a blessed day. I felt blessed my spirit was awakened. It was great to be amongst the children of God who has sacrificed their time to attend a great meeting like this. I made new friends and I am glad and thankful that this day was a success. I was so excited for the day to start and really sad when the day ended. I hope we have more youth days like this. I really can’t wait for the next event.

What a beautiful event it was , I felt so closer to God and I hope there’s going to be more events like this.

Sister Sharon

The youth event was really a blessing I really felt closer to God on that day I enjoyed every second of it and hope that they will be many more events like this and I made a decision to start reading my bible every single day.

Good evening Brother Joseph,

I would like to extend my gratitude to you for organizing such a wonderful event, where the youth of the message came together to fellowship. I personally had an amazing time with the brothers and sisters. I will do my best to live like the royal seed of Abraham through the Lord Jesus.

My final request is that, when you come across my message, please pray for me and my family.

May the Lord bless you abundantly, and I pray that He continues to inspire you more and more.

Best regards,

Brother Joseph

I am so lucky to have been part of this event. It feels nice to have made new friends in Christ. The quiet time, tape, and fellowship was a blessing! My soul felt closer to God. The event has made me realize that THE BEST relationship in this world is ONE with God and I am so grateful to have learned this there. The games and food was perfect. It was definitely an experience and a day to value. Thank you so much, I am already looking forward to the next!!!!

I want to express my deepest gratitude to Brother Joseph Branham and the VGR Team for making the 2025 Youth Event possible. My heart is filled with joy and happiness for the opportunity to be part of such a wonderful gathering.

It’s always a pleasure to meet other young people who share the same faith, and everything about the event was perfect. I was especially blessed to meet Brother Steven from the podcast—it felt like a moment of connection and inspiration.

The quiet time was so powerful, and I truly saw the meaning of it. Being able to connect with our Lord and Savior in such a way was a deeply moving experience.

All I can say is that I am so glad and proud to say I am one of them.

Thank you once again for your kindness and dedication. May God richly bless you all.

Brother Linford

It was truly a blessing to be able to attend the YF Event. When it seemed like there was no way to go, the Lord made a way! Every part of the day was a blessing, so thank you to the Lord Jesus who made it possible for us, as well as to the VGR team, for their hard work!

God bless you,

Sister Amber

I want to Firstly Thank our Lord Jesus Christ for making this day such a Special One.

Secondly, May God richly bless All those that made this day possible to every last detail and that we were treated as Royalty.

When the invitation was firstly sent out I was so excited because I'll be meeting other young youth such as I.

I truly believe in my heart that God knew we needed this YF event in South Africa and that's why He was the one that made it possible. He will use any man and woman who will yield themselves to Him so He can use them and it's all for His Glory.

I commented this day in the hands of the Lord and can surely say that He was in control of it all from start to finish.

I know that He was present with us at this event because I felt like my true self again.

The food was exceptionally tasty and the ice cream on a cone was such a treat!

I enjoyed the Quiet Time as I believe that it was for me the most important part of this event to be alone with my Maker.

We were told we can sit anywhere outside by a tree, as I was walking to find that one tree to sit under. I spotted a squirrel happily running across from tree to tree on the ground and saw he ran to this one tree and I said to myself yes that's the one.

When I was about to start my 'Quiet Time' I started praying I felt this tug in my heart and I knew He was near.

While sitting under tree and listening to the sermon 'Witnesses' I just happened to look up and felt a gentle breeze blowing so peacefully around the place, I then saw the leaves were moving to the movement of it, (it's like the leaves were talking to one another), with the birds chirping in the background.

The tape service and the singing was a great way to end the day. The singing part I felt so uneasy at first but I pushed through all the negative thoughts that wanted to come and said no your not welcomed here and pushed through it by His Grace. I broke through it and had a wonderful time singing don't let satan blow it out, I'm gonna let it Shine! AMEN

I just want to encourage any other young youth South African person, if this opportunity comes your way for another event like this 'Take that step of Faith, and go for it, it's truly a life changing experience.
