MISSION POSSIBLE - YOUTH BASH (16 JUNE 2012)

Mission Possible: Youth Bash 2012

The weekend of 16 June 2012 saw hundreds of young people and adults from around Nelson Mandela Bay, descending on Victory Ministries International’s the New Worship Auditorium to celebrate its Mission Possible Youth Bash. Many came to build faith in Jesus Christ, strengthen testimonies, showcase their talents, and just to have fun with youth who share similar beliefs and standards. The theme of the bash, organised by Revolution United was “Our mission is possible for we are about our Father’s business.”

Family Day

Hundreds of families including young people, gathered together on one day, in one place to make a change that will last for generations. On the day there was a variety of stalls, selling anything from koeksisters to curry bunnies, tramezinnis to wors rolls and many more. The Victory family as well as many from around the city came to enjoy a time of fun and games, music and drama and good food. Some of the performances on the day stage were Legit for Christ, Revolution drama team, Transformers dance crew, Dejavu dance crew, DJ Stanza on the decks and the MC, Asekho.

Opening of Evening Event

The opening of the main event was something out of a Hollywood movie. Agent D and Agent W came onto stage with thunderous applause from the audience. Agent W, we have a mission for you. There is a revolution spreading through Nelson Mandela Bay, South Africa. Agents, from the forces of darkness are trying to stop this movement and bring to an end, stopping it before it really even gets started. Your mission, if you choose to accept it, is to infiltrate this revolutionary organization and make sure that the movement spreads. Many say that this cannot be done, that young people and their families cannot be saved, that's why you're here. This Mission is Possible, God's speed."

The drama was a build up over a couple of weeks of performances done by the Mission Possible team, putting in hard work, a lot of very painful falls endured by Agent W and Agent D, to get it done. For the past five weeks, every Sunday evening a piece of the drama was done, allowing for it to have the feel of a TV series that builds up to the final episode. On the night of the bash, the team put all those “episodes” together to produce a 25-minute play of fight scenes, digital media, lights and lots of action. Their hard work paid off when the audience went into thunderous applause for jaw-dropping performances from the Enforcer, Agent W, Agent D and the Mission Possible team.

Music Event

We were privileged to have had the pleasure of talented local artists that participated at the evening event. Performances from artists such as Deena Jones, Loyiso Bala, Andre “Drizzy” Adams and his band, and VMI’s very own Revolution Worship Team, was of international standards, leading the people into a time of praise and worship.

Speaker

Miss Janice Liberty, daughter of Apostle Jerome Liberty, was the speaker for the evening, conveying  a message of salvation to everyone, focusing on decision-making and the message proclaiming that God has given us a choice, and that we can according to Deuteronomy 30:19, either choose “death or life, now choose life.”
