WELCOME TO GYC! I want to extend a warm welcome to all of you. It is each one of you who, through the grace of God, makes GYC so meaningful year after year. Our theme for GYC this year is Fill Me: Our Earnest Plea. Someone once said that, as human beings, we receive God’s grace like a thirsty beggar who fills a little cup under a waterfall. I love this image because it declares that our God has more than enough of His Spirit to fill us. Only those who know God’s love, who have encountered the power of His indwelling Spirit, can share the Psalmist’s experience when he attests, “my cup runneth over.” (Psalm 23:5). You will notice two voices in our theme. The first one is first person singular. Fill me with your Holy Spirit. And that request is vitally important because, in the end, it doesn’t matter how many young people fill an auditorium each night. What matters is that each one is confronted with the claims of Jesus for our lives, to sense the calling of His Spirit, and embrace His saving righteousness. Otherwise, what happens this weekend will just be words, songs, and programming–and these won’t change your heart. Notice, too, the first person plural in our slogan: Our Earnest Plea. Our, as in us, all of us together, a corporate body of young adults who want to share Jesus Christ with the world. And isn’t that what we all want to do? Remember the name Danica May Camacho? She was the seven billionth person born earlier this year in the Philippines. Seven billion. And Jesus died for every one of them. They need to know about Jesus. They need to know about His love that emptied all of Heaven for them. His grace that can heal their every wound, His power to save them to the uttermost. And God has called us, as a corporate body, to tell them. But we, as individuals or a corporate body, cannot fulfill this commission without the infilling of the Holy Spirit working in our lives. “Lord, fill me with your Holy Spirit.” This is our hope. This is our prayer for GYC. A prayer, I believe, God will always answer. May the Lord bless our time together. Justin McNeilus, GYC President

CONFERENCE
THEME
Fill Me is an individual prayer for the outpouring of the Holy Spirit. Yet as God’s people, our individual prayers rise to heaven as a single plea—Our Earnest Plea. We need the promised gift of the Holy Spirit. Without His indispensable infilling, we cannot faithfully stand for Jesus “though the heavens fall” (Ed, 57). Without His loving guidance and power, the mission of this generation, and of the Seventh-day Adventist Church, will not be accomplished. In response to our earnest petitions—individually and corporately—God desires to pour upon His people the early and latter rains. As Jesus stated, “If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Him!” (Luke 11:13). Indeed, “the Spirit awaits our demand and reception” (COL, 121). “It is the privilege of the church to have it now,” and we are counseled to “seek for it, pray for it, believe for it” (RH March 19, 1895). As God’s clarion call for revival and reformation echoes from the world leaders of our church, this is a most opportune moment for the outpouring of the Spirit of Jesus upon His people. “Could there be a convocation of all the churches of earth, the object of their united cry should be for the Holy Spirit” (MR 2, 24). GYC 2011 is such a convocation. Fill Me: Our Earnest Plea.
PURPOSE
The gift of the Holy Spirit is vital for a saving relationship with Jesus Christ and is absolutely essential for God’s people to hasten the Second Coming of Jesus (Matthew 24:14; 2 Peter 3:12). Thus, the great need of the church is revived and reformed men and women who, by the outpouring of the Holy Spirit in the early and latter rains, cooperate with Jesus Christ in taking the Everlasting Gospel to the entire world. During Fill Me: Our Earnest Plea, we seek to understand, desire, experience, and share the gift of the Holy Spirit. i. Understand. Discover the biblical teaching about the Holy Spirit, His work, revival and reformation, and the significance of the early and latter rains for this generation in light of the soon return of Jesus Christ. ii. Desire. Allow God to arouse a desire for experimental religion, a daily walking with Jesus Christ through the guidance of the Holy Spirit. iii. Experience. Learn the biblical prerequisites for receiving the Holy Spirit and practical steps for experiencing the power of the Holy Spirit, His reviving presence, and His transforming work through Bible study, intentional prayer, and total surrender. iv. Share. Explore biblical models for sharing, through the leading of the Holy Spirit, the saving gift of Jesus Christ and the message of revival and reformation in expectation of the hastened return of the Savior.
8 THEME AND PURPOSE
THE CENTRAL ISSUES
Jesus is central. While Fill Me: Our Earnest Plea is Holy Spirit oriented, the centrality of Christ, His atoning sacrifice, and His current heavenly ministry serve as the organizing foci of this conference. Jesus introduced the Holy Spirit to His disciples as the One who would speak of Christ (John 15:26), lifting up Jesus and glorifying Him (John 16:12–15). When the Holy Spirit was poured into the lives of the disciples, Peter in his Pentecost sermon identified the death, resurrection, and exaltation of Jesus as the game-changing historical events which precipitated the fulfillment of the promise of Joel 2 (Acts 2:32– 35; AA, 37–38). In the New Testament, the Holy Spirit ministers in the shadow of Jesus. Scripture study and prayer are essential. “Could there be a convocation of all the churches of earth, the object of their united cry should be for the Holy Spirit” (MS 2, 24). The Holy Spirit is given in direct response to prayer (Luke 11:13; Acts 1:14; 4:31; COL, 121), prayer inspired by the careful study of Scripture and resulting, through the power of the Holy Spirit, in the bold proclamation of God’s Word (Acts 2; 4:31). Every conference gathering will consists principally of two essential components: the study and proclamation of God’s Word; and personal and corporate prayer. Evangelism is non-negotiable. The work of the Holy Spirit is entirely salvific, and the individual or church endowed with His presence is propelled into active soul-winning. “You will receive power,” Jesus told His disciples, “when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be My witnesses” (Acts 1:8). “That they might have success in their work they were to be given the power of the Holy Spirit” (AA, 17). Just as were the disciples on the Day of Pentecost, the Holy Spirit today fills God’s people with love for Jesus and “those for whom He died” (AA, 22). As we pray for the infilling of the Holy Spirit, we recognize He must empower us for evangelism.
SEMINARS
The seminars at Fill Me: Our Earnest Plea are organized in three modules: The Foundation, The Understanding, and The Practice. Take some time now, at the beginning of the conference, to prayerfully select one seminar from each module. i. The Foundation (Thursday, 9:15am – 12:00pm): Uncover the biblical building blocks of a renewed, Spirit-filled life. Seminars in this module provide a solid foundational understanding of the conference theme, Fill Me: Our Earnest Plea. ii. The Understanding (Thursday, 2:30pm – 2:45pm): Deepen your understanding of the Holy Spirit and His work. Seminars in this module explore a variety of relevant issues related to the Holy Spirit, His ministry, and His transforming mission lived out in our lives. iii. The Practice (Friday, 9:15pm – 12:00pm): Intensely practical, seminars in this module apply important biblical teachings of the Holy Spirit to specific areas of Christian life and witness.
