Message from General Shaw Clifton
Released 20 June 2009
'The Lord has granted us a vision for bringing representative youth of The
Salvation Army world together in celebration of the gospel in Stockholm, Sweden
in July 2010. I invite all Salvationists to be in prayer for this historic
occasion. God has blessed us with fine young people all over the world. May
those who attend the World Youth Convention be deepened in their commitment to
Christ and to serving a broken and hurting world. May the Stockholm events be
Christ-centred and inspired by Holy Spirit. May God's blessings be poured out
upon all present, and through them upon the rest of the Army as we continue to
take up the challenges and the privileges of building the Kingdom of God.'
