Africa’s youth are not just the leaders of tomorrow, but the leaders of today, Wepnyu Yembe Njamnshi told the African Biblical Leadership Initiative (ABLI Forum). ‘And to rebuild the broken walls of Africa will take the dedication of every youth.
‘God takes the weak things of this world to confound the strong, so the place of the youth is the place of leadership. Whatever your walk of life, as Christian youth, you are the solution to your nation’s problems.’
He urged the many young leaders gathered at ABLI to never forget that the quality of a leader is determined by his willingness to serve.
He called on every delegate at the ABLI youth forum to reject mediocrity and follow the greatest leader the world has ever known – Jesus Christ. By following Christ, they would bring transformation to their continent, he added.
‘Jesus has more likes than Facebook and more tweets than Twitter. He will move us from zero to hero and he will do it in this generation and in the generations to come in Africa.’
Mr Njamnshi reminded all those gathered that Jesus took 12 unlearned men and trained them for his service. He added: ‘We will see leadership in a different dimension if we can represent this great leader on earth as he intends us to do. Be the leader that Jesus wants you to be today.’
