Believe Quote by Vaughn J Featherstone
“It is not difficult to understand why the great God of heaven has reserved these special spirits for the final work of the kingdom prior to his millennial reign… This generation will face trials and troubles that will exceed those of their pioneer forebears. Our generation has had periods of some respite from the foe. The future generation will have little or none…This is a chosen generation… I believe today's [Church youth] will lead the youth of the world through the most trying time in history.”
