World Youth Day 2016
We're living in a time where our young people are facing an attack from the enemy like no other. They are facing lifestyles and practices that are out of alignment with the word of God. However, the Church Of God In Christ International Youth Department is declaring victory in the lives of our youth. The enemy will not have his way in our families, in our communities, in our schools, or in our churches. So please join us, Sunday, September 25, all over the world as we celebrate World Youth Day. COGIC Youth Departments all over the world will be using this day to declare victory over our young people.
Let's prepare our youth for the FIGHT OF THEIR LIVES!

Young Men of Valor – Charisma Man 2016
The International Youth Department Young Men of Valor present “CHARISMA MAN” Beautillion 2016. Beautillion is a celebration of the achievements of young men of color who are high school seniors or recent graduate’s age’s 16-20. These young men, or “Beaux", represent a select few of the many candidates nominated to be honored at Beautillion 2016. Each Beau is chosen in recognition of his demonstrated achievements in academics, sports, the arts, community and church involvement, leadership, and his overall commitment to the advancement of people of color. All Beaux must plan to continue their education.
This event will be a vehicle for many to help support the educational dreams of our youth. In addition, it showcases some of Church of God in Christ’s finest career bound high school senior males who have demonstrated a desire to excel in life yet may lack some of the financial support and encouragement by peers and mentors needed to turn their dreams into realities.
The attire will consist of: a black tuxedo, white gloves, and black shoes. Specified attire is mandatory or participant will not be allowed to take part in the Beautillion final presentation. Service and participation points are awarded for various activities such as: Letters of Recommendations, Community Service Projects, a Talent Showcase, and a Career Showcase.
PLEASE SPREAD THE WORD!!

The International Young Men of Valor presents “Charisma Man 2015” Join us as we showcase the various gifts and talents that God has given our young men. The Apostle Paul in 2 Timothy 1:6 encouraged the young Timothy to “Flame the gift of God, which is in you through the laying on of my hands”
Youth Leaders, you may ask, "What could I do?" Well, we need your young men ages 13-21 to be involved in this event. They may have memorized a portion of Scripture, achieved academic success, exceled in sports, know all the names of famous African American inventors, some young men may be a Christian rapper, comedian, dancer, visual artist and have a skit they would like put on or a song they would like to sing. No matter what their talents are they can use to make “Charisma Man 2015” a spectacular event showcasing with charisma the gifts God has given them. This event is not a contest or competition but an opportunity to share your gift with your jurisdiction.
