 “The Battle is Mine” is our 2015 theme taken from the book of (1st Samuel 17:47), as an Anglican Youth Fellowship Church of Nigeria (Anglican Communion). It was a challenging and an in-sighting one as well as very encouraging. David, as it were and as a youth was faced with an insurmountable "mountain" but knowing fully well that God can give him victory refused dependence on human swords, spear or any other, at such time. Depending on these can fail woefully and provoke God to leave us alone (Isaiah 31:1)

The theme shows that weapons of war including the bow and arrow become  useless when God goes to war on anyone's behalf. This is what happened as Goliath's weapons and might succumbed to the superior power propelling young David. It is therefore important for the youth of today not to put their trust in the might of their parents, elders, church, fellowship, societies or communities but in the Lord God Almighty whose weapons of war are far superior to that which ant human being can produce or master it use. With God, any youth can become a Goliath slayer, with God any youth can overcome different challenges and obstacles.    
Prayers for the Newly Elected National Executives 
In this years conference, the youth was urge to stick to the fellowship motto "Towards the Perfect Man" knowing that we must become the perfect man of tomorrow, Nigeria is beset with many problems because of greed and ungodly acts of yesterday's youth. Our gathering as youth, can make a difference in the church and in the Nation; having this believe that God will be with us (youth) and always fight our battles, if he says that our heart is after his own heart. This was a secret of David whom God testified had a heart after his own heart. (1sam 13:14, Acts. 13:22) Our fellowship together, should be to seek God and to fellow the examples of Jesus Christ, striving towards the perfect man with the full assurance that God will surly fight our battles.
