Youth Revival Meet 2025
2025-09-06 18:30 UTC
Standing firm in the faith – 1 Peter 5:9

Organized by the Baptist Youth Fellowship (BYF) with the vision to strengthen young believers to remain steadfast in their walk with Christ amidst life’s challenges, The Baptist Church Sanathnagar recently hosted a powerful Youth Revival Meet under the inspiring theme Unshakable, based on the Scripture 1 Peter 5:9 – ” Stand firm in the faith .”

The meeting was a sacred moment of worship and rededication for the church’s youth. With hearts lifted in praise and hands raised in surrender, the atmosphere was filled with the presence of God, reminding everyone that true strength and stability come only by standing firm in faith.

The Word of God was ministered by Rev. Dr B. Purushotham Francis (BD, MA, PhD) , whose message deeply resonated with the youth. Through biblical insights and practical life applications, he emphasised the importance of an unwavering faith in Christ — a faith that does not shake in the face of temptation, doubt, or pressure from the world. He encouraged every believer to anchor their lives in the truth of God’s Word and to live courageously for the Lord in today’s generation.

As the Word was shared and worship rose, many young people experienced a fresh touch from God — reviving their passion for His purpose and renewing their commitment to follow Him wholeheartedly.

This Youth Revival Meet was not merely an event but a divine encounter — a reminder that God is raising an Unshakable Generation, rooted deeply in His Word and steadfast in His promises.

He alone is my rock and my salvation, my fortress where I will not be shaken. – Psalm 62:6

May the message of this revival inspire our youth to stand firm in the faith and live as bold witnesses for Christ in every sphere of life.
