The Threshing Floor Watchman Assembly, TFWA, Lafia, Nasarawa State has concluded its 2026 Children’s Conference with the theme: _”A Child Helped by God to Perform and Participate in His Generation.”_

The week-long event began on Wednesday and climaxed on Sunday with various activities. The children showcased their talents through memory verses, quiz competitions, talk shows, songs ministrations, dancing, drama and more.

During the grand finale, the children led the congregation in praise and worship. They also participated in a “Pick and Act” segment where gifts and prizes were presented to winners of each competition.

Parents were also in attendance and commended the children. They prayed for their continued growth in the Lord.

In his admonition, guest speaker Goodluck Vincent urged the children to be active in God’s work. He said God needs them to perform and participate divinely in order to impact their generation.

He also called on parents to train their children in the way of God, citing biblical verses that support godly upbringing.

Vincent further advised the children to avoid bad company, secret cults and shortcuts to wealth. He encouraged them to obey their parents and commit their youthful age to the service of God. He also urged them not to neglect church activities such as children’s class, Sunday school, prayers and fasting.

In an interview, the Presiding Bishop of TFWA, Dr. Ovye John, said:

“Today marks the end of our 2026 Children’s Ministry Conference, the second edition at conference level. God has helped us with the theme: _’A Child Helped by God to Perform and Participate in God’s Agenda in This Generation.’_ 

Every child is a gift from God to families, the body of Christ, and the nation. We are expected to train these children until the image and purpose of God is formed in them. 

As a church, we believe the generation of tomorrow is today. What you give to your child today determines what comes out tomorrow. 

We call this a value-addition conference. A heavenly translation of God’s vision on earth. Until our children become signs and wonders, our nation cannot experience true growth and development. 

We pray that this conference will bring a turnaround in Nasarawa State, Nigeria and the world at large, in Jesus’ name.”

The bishop added that the church remains committed to instilling righteousness, truth, holiness, hard work and discipline in the next generation to address the decay in society.
