Youths take to PoS for Liberation Day

National Liberation Day will begin with a street parade starting at Woodford Square from 8.30 am.

Hundreds of enthusiastic youths are expected to march through the streets of Port-of- Spain, dancing and singing to gospel music, while making positive declarations over TT .

Participants will then converge at the Queen’s Park Savannah for a grand gospel youth rally from 11.30 am. This segment will feature prominent worship leader William McDowell from the USA and other A-list local performers such as: Joel “Positive” Murray, Jaron Nurse, Blessed Messenger, Rizon, J Prince and Gates Praise.

This year’s National Liberation Day’s theme is “Worthy is the Lamb”. YFC’s director pastor Frank Porter who is spearheading the initiative said in a media release: “This year we are expecting 7,000 young people to attend Liberation Day.

We have been getting a lot of positive feedback so we expect the turnout to be even larger than in previous years.” He added: “We are going to continue to expose our youths to a positive experience on Liberation Day that can help transform their lives.

Our young people need a message of hope in these trying times, and that’s why we see the need to continue preaching the love of Jesus Christ and the hope and peace that He brings.

We reach out to both the churched and unchurched on Liberation Day. We want to let the youths know that suicide, violence and crime is not the answer to today’s challenges — Jesus is.”
