WHY CHOOSE IBYC 2018 CONFERENCE
CONFERENCE MEDIA
If you’ve changed you need to live like it! The IBYC Conference can help you take your relationship with God to a higher level.
IBYC reminded me of the good times that I had when I was a delegate. As a leader this time around, I witnessed God doing transforming work in the delegates before and during the conference. Their behaviour was transformed right before my eyes. It was a heavenly experience. It gets better and better and better each year!
You meet young people who are the same age as you, going through the same struggles as you, they are talking about Got just like you. You need to come to IBYC. It is the best. It is for you!
IBYC is like the pitstop… like the gas station to get more in you [spiritually]
