ORGANISERS of The Salvation Army's World Youth Convention (WYC) to be
held in Stockholm, Sweden, are hoping and praying that thousands of
youth around the world will make time to view the convention
online.
The convention will run from 15-18 July with
1,200 invited delegates
from most parts of the world in attendance. However, through live
streaming of all events via the internet, anyone with access to the
internet can be involved.
If people don't know very much about
The Salvation Army then viewing
this convention will provide them with a mountain of information through
world-class speakers from all continents, including the Army's
international leaders, General Shaw Clifton and Commissioner Helen
Clifton.
Complementing the speaking sessions will be musicians,
singers, actors
and dancers from Brazil, Norway, United Kingdom, India, Zambia, Italy,
Korea, Sweden, USA and Australia.
Convention coordinator Colonel
Birgitte Brekke says, ‘This will be an
inspiring event’ and she urges youth around the world to gather with
friends to watch the live sessions wherever they have access to a
computer, large screen and data projector. ‘In this way there could be
mini-youth conventions right around the world!’
