More Information
For the high school congress, students have dinner, icebreakers, a keynote speaker, a session about the difference between men and women and a question and answer session.
For the adults congress, we begin with an icebreaker and opening prayer then the participants split based on their language preference. One group hears the keynote speaker first while the other group attends breakout sessions. We gather together for lunch and praise and worship music and then switch conference modes.
Because this congress offers valuable insights and guidance to build strong, respectful relationships and make informed decisions for a happier and fulfilling life.
