The Ecclesiastical District of Texas held consecutive activities on August 17, 2024 in commemoration of the 55th anniversary of the Christian Brotherhood International (CBI), the Church’s organization for youth members who are studying.

A special gathering was first held at the house of worship of the Local Congregation of Universal City with Brother Noel Caritativo, district supervising minister, officiating. During the gathering, students and 2024 graduates, with their parents, offered thanksgiving to the Lord God for granting them success in their studies.

In his preaching, Brother Caritativo reminded the attendees that God Himself helped them gain success in their studies. He further expounded that whatever one has achieved will be truly meaningful if such will be used to bring joy and honor to the Almighty God.

Anabelle Muñoz, from the Local Congregation of Universal City, who recently graduated from high school recalled, “I went through a lot of hardship, but through devotional prayers, God helped me succeed. As I go further in my studies and in my chosen career, I will see to it that I will be able to praise God.”

Afterwards, the attendees took part in the INC Students Unity Camp that was held at the function hall of the said congregation’s house of worship wherein they enjoyed participating in various games, which aimed to enhance one’s socialization and team-building skills.

“These activities help reinforce Christian values among the members of the CBI,” Brother Neil Trinidad, minister of the gospel, said.
