Report of the Classis Far West Youth Conference

The young people of the Classis were able to gather for this year’s conference, hosted by the Nobleford congregation, on Saturday, July 24.

After a few welcoming words Rev. G.M. de Leeuw opened the conference and presented a topic based on Genesis 37. He explained how the conflict in the family of Jacob, as the result of the brothers having different mothers but the same father, resulted in hatred towards Joseph. Joseph was sold to the Midianites and brought to Egypt to accomplish God’s purpose of bringing the children of Israel into Egypt. Even today Egypt is less hostile towards the Jews.

After a short intermission Rev. H.D. den Hollander gave a thought-provoking topic on how we can come to know about God by general revelation but can only know who God is by special revelation. He went on to explain that although God is the final cause of all things, yet man is responsible for his actions since he has his own cause. God uses man to achieve His purpose, which is the glory of His name.

After lunch the youth enjoyed some activities at Calvin Christian School and returned to the church for supper. That evening there was an opportunity for a sing-a-long before Rev. H.D. den Hollander answered some questions.

May the Lord grant His blessing on the instruction given and grant an acknowledging heart that we could gather again with our young people.
